re: As an LSU fan, who do you despise more: Alabama or Auburn?

Florida is not for example. I think you also underestimate the value tradition has in recruiting.

First of all, those two statements seem a little contradictory. If Florida doesn't have tradition, it sure hasn't hurt their recruiting!

And I agree that tradition matters to the fans, but I think it has no bearing on the outcome of games.

As for recruiting, I think recent success has more impact than tradition lost in the sands of time. I doubt the 17 year old African American kid from Florida cares one wit about (or even knows about) the fate of some ancient team of redneck lore.
