No, it wasn't. 70-22-6 in LSU's favor. LSU won the last 18. Tulane has won just 4 since 1949 (last 50 games) LSU leads 44-4-2 in the last 50 games.

It's a nostalgic rivalry but not an incredible one.

that ended due to political BS


It ended because of money. LSU wanted to play in Tiger Stadium every year because they felt they were giving up home game revenue every other year, and Tulane didn't want to give up their most lucrative home game every other year. They agreed to end the series. That simple.

Agreed. My father played on LSU team in late fifties, early 60s. LSU beat the greenie weenies 63-0. Team was angry that at half, Coach Dietzel had the offense playing defense and the defense playing offense. Players wanted to hang 100 points on them.
