The Arkansas/LSU game is huge for my wife's side of the family and determines which ornament tops the Christmas tree and other decorations for the holidays. It's been fun to get in on it.

Who else lives with the enemy? There has to be some funny stories.

My wife is a huge Bama fan. I am a LSU alum. We have decided this year not watch the bama/lsu game together until further notice.

Me, LSU grad
Wife, LSU Med school grad.

No problems here. I know some though-divided homes. Not very fun people.

My father in law is an Arkansas fan, my wife really doesn't care but she pulls for LSU because it makes me happy. He buys our daughter Razorback gear sometimes, but it usually "disappears".

still work in progress. I almost have her converted until we go to the bama/lsu game every other year in BR. that game does her in for another 2 years.

This year I got the "I hope LSU wins just to shut up my Bama friends." I have showed her how LSU will never win in the eyes of a gump. It's either they were cheated or they gave the game away..no way a team could ever be better than BAMA!.

This year she got to see it in full force, the conversion is almost complete!

Well, my wife claims the Razorbacks but she is not real passionate so it doesn't cause to many troubles.

Me wife, mother in law, and myself are LSU alum. My father in law is a Razorback, and a pretty important one at that. The Thanksgiving game is TENSE. Then we've had to watch in shame as the pig ornament topped the tree the next day. That shite gets real, haha.

I'm an LSU alum and current UM grad student.

My brother is a Bama alum and LSU med school student.

So our parents are divided on game days, but generally support the winner of our game for the rest of the season.

Me - LSU
Wife - Centenary

Those early season basketball and baseball games are hard to deal with.


Though she does continually remind me Centenary beat LSU in football sometime in the 1920's.

My SO comes from a multigenerational Tulane/Newcomb family, although her interest in sports is negligible.
