Yeah, the LSU-A&M games were pretty vicious. I went to most of them during the 1986-95 series. My first game as a student was the '88 game when we shut them out to open the season.

I don't think the Arkansas rivalry ever really took hold. They tried to manufacture a rivalry with the Hogs when they joined the league by putting the game last on the schedule, creating the Boot trophy, and such.

There were some upsets in the series, but don' think there was ever any real hate like we have for A&M

I'll say this: I want to go to a game in Tiger Stadium, but to do so, I will fly to MSY, rent a car with Louisiana plates on it and drive to Baton Rouge. No way in hell I would take my own car onto your campus with Texas plates. I would be lucky if all you would do to the car is key scratch it.



I have Florida plates and my father has Texas plates. Have never had one issue with either car nor truck post game.

A&M to me is a wanna be UT. Next.

It was starting to get there before they ran Petrino off, especially with the "frick you" directed at CLM last year. But for the most part, you're right. It was a manufactured rivalry. I think this LSU - aTm rivalry has legs and should get pretty good after a few seasons. We need a true rival and although we hate Bama with the heat of a thousand suns, that hatred is not reciprocal.

Texas A&M leads the series 19-17 since 1975, when major scholarship limits were put in place, marking the start of the modern era of college football.

But nice try.

I don't think you can legitimately count the games you won with payed players. Nice try though.

I remember when A&M, Rice and Baylor were the season opening tune-up games for LSU. After routinely beating all the saying was we won the SWC again.

somewhere around 1965 Peter Finney wrote a column in the States-Item talking about LSU being the SWC champion....

If Miles is such a reject coach and the aggies are so great, why does he have a winning record against the aggies?

And if LSU is so poor and the aggies so great, why do the aggies have a losing record vs LSU? And even then - most of those wins that the aggies can claim were played during the darkest period of LSU football history and the "glory years" of aggie football(1989-1995)?

You aggies can't help it that the aggie football tradition doesn't happen to include winning championships or even winning very much. Instead, the aggie football traditions are strange but you love them. So don't run from it - embrace it -it's who you are! What do you care that your traditions are the laughing stock of yet another conference?

Are you mentally retarded? I was responding to the charge that we had been owned by the t-sips over the last several decades.

Also, wasn't it in the late 60s when corp membership was required by the players as well? Our modern football and enrollment changed drastically in the latter 1900s. The school evolved drastically from that time until now.

There was a time when we were the country bumpkin military school but now texas and a&m are both considered great public schools at the top of their game.

Need I say more?



It's not a well-known fact, but the 3 schools that provided the most officers to the US Army in WWII are:

1. West Point
2. Texas A&M
3. LSU

I forget where I read it, but I have no reason to doubt it.

At one point, LSU's military school tradition was quite strong.

The '71 LSU team had at least 12 guys in ROTC, Ronnie Estay was a cadet colonel. It was the Vietnam era and guys did what they could to increase the odds of surviving.

So to summarize, A&M would be akin to Denham Springs opening up a major university inhabited by some sort of deliverance infused militia draped in maroon and carted around in dualies, who rather than salute respond by pointing a pretend gun in the air and in their highest pitched emaciated female voice yell "whoop!"


I literally rolled over...I live in Central and DS is like my backyard, so I got an incredible mental picture bahaha
