Magnolia Bowl & Battle for the Boot

nay on both. the golden boot is stupid to begin with. the magnolia bowl would have been ok if it had been called that since the beginning or towards the beginning of the rivalry. being as it was created just a couple years ago makes it bush league as well.

They are both stupid.

The Boot was made up to try to create a rival for Arkansas in the SEC. I hate those stupid trophies Big Ten schools play for "the old wooden apple core" and all that. The Boot and reminds me of that lame crap.

Even though our student council supposedly jointly came up with the Magnolia Bowl with the Ole Miss student council it reeks of Ole Miss riding our coat tails. It's sad really, Ole Miss likes to claim we are their biggest rival, and they down play their rivalry with State. Which is complete bull shite. I've heard those losers actually call the game the Magnolia Bowl, never once heard an LSU fan call it that. They are trying to up their status in college football by claiming we are their rival and naming the game. Pathetic.

The boot seems pretty forced. LSU and Arkansas didn't have enough history before they joined the conference to warrant a trophy.

I'm OK with the Magnolia Bowl.

Nay on both. I'm not big on artificially contrived rivalries.

wasnt necessary for om, rivalry was already there.
They tried the trophy thing with ark to try to develop a better rivalry game and it just never took.
IMO moving this game to sat was a much bigger step. I hated that fri game.

I like the golden boot. I got to touch it on the field back in '05.

yea, on both. since no other sec teams claims us as their biggest rival, i'll take ark anyday. i wish the boot the best. and they are always up for us.
i love the magnolia, and it is the state flower of both states.
oh, our biggest rival will always be florida, and i don't want that to ever change.
