And you think a Texas recruit will be more inclined to sign with us because LSU will play UT in Austin in 2018???



Coaches seem to think so. That's been cited as a reason for most home & home series agreements. And the reason A&M quit playing us back in the 90s (they were loosing too many Texas recruits).

LSU canceled the series

The series went into hibernation for 10 years, but re-emerged in annual home-and-home form in 1986, when then-freshman quarterback Tommy Hodson carried No. 18 LSU to a season-opening upset of the No. 7 Aggies in Tiger Stadium.
Once Hodson graduated after the 1989 season, the Tigers claimed only one of the next six games before LSU canceled the series after the 1995 season.
