re: Who is LSU's biggest rival?...

Right now, Auburn.
By next year, likely Bama.
Every year in the forseeable future, Florida.
In the future, Arkansas.
Arkansas, like LSU, doesn't have a true natural rival. Our rival was Ole Miss but they haven't had much significance in the last few decades.
Arkansas's last true rival was Texas (albiet Texas's rivals have always been OU and A&M). It's only natural that Arkansas and LSU will become chief rivals over the course of time. In fact, in my view its a foregone conclusion.
The LSU/Arkansas rivalry is only going to get more intense as a natural border war. Arkansas has a lot of tradition and doesn't seem to string as many bad years football wise as Ole Miss does.
Arkansas last year nearly kept us out of the national title game yet luckily stars were aligned and things worked out.
It's our last regular season game and there will be a number of years where that game will determine the SEC West title. I have a feeling upcoming generations will learn to hate Arkansas more than Ole Miss.

After being here so long I know you guys get the humor. I just didn't want to be left out.

I disagree. It's not enough that the series be competitive or that there be high stakes involved every year. There's got to be some plain unadulterated hate between the schools' fan bases, and that's just not there with the Pigs. Arkie fans are just not obnoxious enough, not trashy enough, not big enough assholes to really inspire the kind of hatred that Ole Miss and Tulane fans have over the years, and Auburn has recently. Mere geographic proximity and competitive balance do not a true rivalry make.

I disagree. Arkansas fans are accommodating and usually as friendly as LSU fans are when tailgating. Ole Piss and Oxford gets downright nasty and you have to admit that a loss to Ole Piss just fricking sucks!

I hate Bama more than anyone else, but Auburn's our biggest rival right now because there's always more on the line that game.
I could care less about worthless ole miss, they're irrelevant.
Arky fans HATE us, but i could care less about them as well.
