re: Why is A&M so obsessed with LSU?

LSU and A&M used to be a BIG rivalry....just like LSU and Ole Miss back in the day. Give it some time...it will come back.



This all day long. I hated those guys back in the 80s and they hated us. Football and baseball games were pretty hostile

It goes back way further. LSU and A&M used to play regularly in the 40s and 60s and 70s.They played every year from 1960 to 1975. This was the longest consecutive games played in the series history. LSU went 12–3–1. My Dad tells me that one year, the LA State Patrol wrote traffic tickets to every car w/ Texas plates headed back to Texas. The next year, the Texas Patrol returned the favor. I think this may have been in the 50s as almost all the games were played in BR. They actually played one game in Beaumont and one in Galveston in 1916 and 1917. Good times.
