re: Is SC the new "intimidator" in the SEC?

Carolina is no threat to LSU whatsoever, and I cannot remember a specific time where I've seen their fans say anything negative about LSU. We do not compete with them for recruits regularly in any sport, and unlike SEC West teams, their success has little negative effect on us. In fact, SCAR winning back-to-back titles is good for our conference as a whole.

Outside of the last two years, they are an SEC afterthought for the most part. I have no problem with them winning another championship for the SEC, and outside of someone like Vandy, they'd probably be the team I would most want to bring home the hardware if LSU can't. Columbia has no other sports to cheer for outside of USC athletics, and the program hasn't given them a lot to cheer for. Good for the program and their fans.
