It’s obvious Texas will now be our biggest rival in all sports

Even replacing Bama in football with Saban gone. Makes sense as a major university in a neighboring state with the most historically successful major sports programs.
Sure “Go to Hell Ole Miss” still applies but I don’t see Ole Miss sustaining the success in football over the long haul that Texas is capable of.
Our success against Texas will become our biggest measuring stick.
Looking forward to a fun and heated rivalry for the decades to come.

It's dumb.

I can't believe we're losing playing Auburn every year for this shite.

I love that we are everyone’s rival. Tell Texas to join the party and we will reciprocate in a way they won’t like.

They will be too busy foaming at the mouth for aTm and Oklahoma.

Everyone hates Texas. It’s not just us.

agreed! Looking forward to it. Esp since more LSU alumni living in TX than in MS, and more TX fans here than MS.

Everyone we play in the SEC has a bigger rival than LSU. This includes Texass.

Let's just beat every SEC team, we play in every sport and favor none of them as our main rival.

How in the heck are we everybody's rival? The last time I checked most of the SEC schools already have a rival. For example, UGA vs Auburn, and Florida vs UGA. No matter what, A&M will always have Texas as their major rival. When I went to LSU, our biggest rival was Ole Miss. We even had a Go to Hell Ole Miss week. When I was in my second year, Ole Miss with Archie, beat us. That loss still stings. LSU was undefeated when Archie and company beat us in Jackson.

Texas A&M will always be their biggest rival.

We are no one’s biggest rival since Tulane fell off the radar.

Not Ole Miss. They have Mississippi State. Not Alabama. They have Auburn.

I wonder if Texas will be as good as many think they will be when they have to go thru the SEC gauntlet as opposed to Texas Tech than Houston than Iowa State, etc.?

This LSU alum doesn’t have it in me. I think Texas is a great university in a great town. They’ll be formidable competition for sure.

aTm, Oklahoma & Arkansas will always be bigger rivals to Texas than LSU. Those rivalries go way back and won’t be replaced. LSU doesn’t have a true rivalry anymore and is kind of hated by everyone in the west. Embrace it.

Just what I want, just to be added to the list of schools that consider Texas their main rival.

Lol,no

Our ‘biggest rival’ was Tulane

Now it’s no one that doesnt already have a main rival

It’s ok to be a school without a true rival. Accept it and move on.
