Now that A&M will be in the SEC

can we get rid of the "Boot" and having Arky fans think we are their rival? We should be playing A&M the last week of the season.

Agree and hopefully this takes place beginning with the '13 season.

Arkansas will continue to be better than A&M for the near future. Until A&M has game, Arky is the rival.

Can't be done as long as A&M and Missouri are permenant cross-divisional opponents. If A&M and LSU were to play that weekend, Arkansas and Missouri, more often than not would have no one to play, since they are not yearly opponents. Would create too big of a scheduling headache.
Only way it happens is if the league goes to 16 (and Missouri moves west) or Arkansas and Missouri become cross-divisional opponents.

I agree if they will give us more than a couple thousand visitor seats!
Seriously, I know it had been offered up on here that they don't give as many visitor tickets as the SEC supposedly dictates. Does anyone have any new info/confirmation on this???

rivals are not predetermined, they are developed, nurtured, and enhanced with intense competition, close games, controversial calls, when both teams are playing with something to lose (whether it be in-state bragging rights, divisional champs, conference champs, etc.), and are built up over generations, not decades.
LSU has no true rival and probably never will. Auburn during the 2000s (with a few notable games from the late 80s-90s),
but at most Auburn is more of a quasi-rivalry, it'll always have Bama to hate more.
Going forward as Auburn likely going by the wayside (I think Gene Chizick will crash and burn) combined with the reemergence of Bama as a national perennial power, Bama will replace Auburn's spot as our intermittent quasi-rivalry. But again, it will always hate Auburn more.
That said, with the institutional capacity (facilities, public support, revenue etc.) and monopolized wealth of natural resources (in-state talent), all we need is organizational leadership to ensure we remain a national power for as long as college football exists in its present form -- no other college is as nicely situated to continue wining than LSU (save Florida & Texas, both of which seem to lack organizational leadership, esp. Texas with Mack Brown at the helm, we'll see about Florida next year).
Thus, while although we will never have a true rival, over the next 20 years Bama, Auburn, Arky, etc. will all hate us more than they hate each other.

shut up with this shite. we have been playing Arky for a while now the last game of the season, and I like it, consider it a great rivalry and like the boot. The players seem to take a liking to the boot as well, thus whomever wins hoists the trophy up proudly.
also, rivals take time to build, and if you dont think that year in and year out the Arky game doesn't mean something to the players and the fans, then Im not sure what you are paying attention to. Keep building rivalry and the boot!

The boot, while I put little to no stock in it, is our best trophy. Much better than the magnolia bowl.
