I am a little puzzled this board feels so against A&M. Feels like there’s legitimate hate between the two sides on the field with all the recruiting battles we have and how much of punks they act like against us. Plus we are closer to them geographically than the majority of the other SEC schools(Fayetteville for comparison is just not even close to BR)

They’re not Top 3 in my most hated teams but Bama Florida and Auburn have games the SEC was always going to keep

Yeah that's a bit of a bummer. Think about how many great games we've had with these two teams the last 25-30 years. Too many to list.

Honestly, it seems fair overall. Considering the challenges of doing this, I think they did a good job.

Of course as soon as Saban leaves and we can have a fair fight against bama we dont get to play them every year!

That’s not a bad draw for LSU, we should be able to win all 3 much more often than not.

It's a good rivalry. We've played these suckers about 60 times already. And both schools recruit heavily in East and Southeast Texas.

Keep A&M as a permanent rival, and Ole Miss of course. I'm not happy having Arkansas every year.

LSU's draw is winnable most every year. Set's up for playoff runs imo

it is exactly what i expected and the realistic 3 i wanted the least

Ole Miss was the only lock

wanted to get one of bama or florida instead of the hogs

hopefully we get Ole Miss back to Halloween now that the bama game is out of that November spot

I kind of figured it would happen as LSU is 5 hours from aTm, 4 hours from Ole Miss, and has a named rivalry with both Arkansas and Ole Miss.

I hate that we are losing the Florida and Bama games annually and actually wanted Oklahoma annually, but if they truly do rotate the schedules and we play every team every 2 years and at every place every 4, we should play those teams often enough to keep the hate alive.

LSU admin has little to nothing to do with that.

The Bama-Tennessee game has held back scheduling in this conference for 20 years now. Saban shut down the 3 permanent opponents when he saw we were one of Bama’s

If you don’t think the big dogs have at least some say in the scheduling you are naive(no we don’t have the same pull as Bama obviously)

I think they are separated by 90 miles and have played more than almost any other SEC teams.

Really wanted bama instead of Arkansas or aggy but this trio was pretty obvious.

I get that. But from a strategic standpoint it couldn’t have worked out better for LSU.

The 3 annual games are all very winnable every year.

Especially when you consider Lane probably won’t be at Ole Miss much longer and they return to being a perennial bottom half team.

Probably second best draw behind Tenn, but sad to see Florida and Bama go. Bama decline is real and we owe them some arse kickings
