The passionate, heated rivalry b/w LSU-Kentucky

The Associated Press poll's #1 team in the nation hosts the Kentucky Wildcats this Saturday morning -- that's right, morning -- for an 11:21 a.m. kickoff in Tiger Stadium. Tailgaters will have to start early or, better yet, just don't stop dat tailgate pawty from Friday night. Cook a big pot of chicken and andouille jambalaya, ice down plenty of Abita Amber, and crank up that old Golden Band from Tiger Land CD you have. Make some bloody marys early Saturday morning and get ready for the intense rivalry that is LSU vs. Kentucky. By the way, hands down the best bloody mary mix is Zing Zang, and I like mine with Tito's vodka. Add some cracked pepper, a little Tabasco, salt on the rim, then throw in a medley of green beans, okra, olives and celery. Good stuff.
Back to the heated rivalry between LSU and Kentucky. These teams and, more specifically, their fans, simply hate each other. The storied history of classic contests between these SEC cats is too lengthy to delve into here, but even casual observers of this game know the contempt each team has for the other. The deep-rooted hatred extends beyond the teams themselves. Legend has it that in the 1960s, Louisiana state troopers intentionally pulled over Kentucky fans on their way to Baton Rouge and harassed them for no good reason. In 1985, Kentucky fans signaled they might riot outside the LSU team hotel in Lexington the night before the game. Fearing for the safety of his players, LSU head coach Bill Arnsparger took the unprecedented step of traveling to Kentucky on the day of the game. Not to be outdone by Kentucky fans, the following year an LSU fraternity rocked the Wildcat team bus back and forth outside Tiger Stadium. What started as a funny prank ended badly, as the bus overturned and the game was forfeited to Kentucky.
Though tamer these days, the LSU-Kentucky game remains one of college football's most traditional and intense rivalries. Ohio State-Michigan. Army-Navy. Florida-Georgia. LSU-Kentucky. Even the governors of Louisiana and Kentucky get into the act. This year, if Kentucky wins, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal will host a crawfish boil for Kentucky governor Steve Beshear. If LSU prevails, Gov. Beshear will send Gov. Jindal a barrel of Maker's Mark bourbon. And a Louisville Slugger baseball bat. And a horse.
Of course, all of the above LSU-Kentucky rivalry talk is complete and utter nonsense. Pure drivel, as Steve Martin would say. There is absolutely no rivalry between these teams. Frankly, I'd be more excited to play Vanderbilt than Kentucky. The 11:21 a.m. kickoff makes an already blah game even worse. Here's hoping that LSU's players don't feel the same way or, if they do, that their talent and athletic advantage over Kentucky carry the Tigers to victory.
Prediction:
LSU 33
Kentucky 10
Geaux Tigers!

Having said that, holy shite that "W" gif made me laugh my arse off!
