re: Now that A&M will be in the SEC

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.

that's right. the old LSU/TULANE thing was as close to a "rival" as we'll probably ever have. i have no idea why this issue is so important to some. arkansas hates us like a rival; ditto with ole miss. but, since LSU fans don't hate them enough they are not rivals. same situation with us and bama; they simply don't hate us enough. i, for one, don't give a shite about the so called rivalry thing. my football hate is very strong against alabama, auburn, ole miss, florida and texas a&m. all of these hates go back to the 60's.
