Big BS here. I live here and LSU is without question most hated/most want to win etc etc game of the year. It's really not close. All friends are Hog fans and everyone of them will tell you LSU is most hated.

I would say Bama is the most hated...they somehow seem to get up for our games though...In that same time frame we are 4-4 against LSU we are 0-8 against Bama

I'm pretty sure Ark players get up to play LSU more than LSU players get up to play Ark. Probably explains the reason Ark has been able to win a few lately. Certainly doesn't help that we play Bama the week before. Natural let down.

shite. Just read up on it a little and it seems like Missouri/Arkansas is a more natural rivalry. Border state school just like LSU and play each other every year. Play for a border trophy. PLus schools are closer to each other and the states cultures and geography are a lot more similar IMO.

OP is right. We should dump that dumbass trophy. They have a rival. Guess we just either don't have a natural rival or all SEC west schools are equally our hated rivals.

I feel cheated on. We're a border state school, Neither of us had a real natural rival, We made a trophy for the game and gave it a name. Now ya'll go start the same fricking shite with Missouri. We need to melt that trophy and throw it in the river.

is there are board on here that talks about lsu football or is it just meaningless stuff like this?

even your examples are meaningless. no michigan fan cares about that game. minnesota has won 4 times in the last 47 years. lsu and arkansas have each won 4 the past 8 games. this has been a crucial game for lsu the past 15 years, rivalry or not.

and every school has a story on how their colors came to be. thats as much of a tradition as lsu being in baton rouge or arkansas being in fayetteville.

Rivalry or not, If I was a fan of LSU I would be questioning our leaders


And this is why we hate you delusional pig worshippers. I constantly have to put up with arky fans hating on CLM. As if Arkansas coaches have been better than him.

Do you look at the numbers? Do you know how numbers work? Go back and look at LSU's wins and losses since CLM took over. and compare those numbers to Arkansa wins and loses. Get back with me IF you have trouble finding the data or have a hard time understanding it.
Clearly, you should be questioning your leadership.

Our rival is the Aggies. I remember those guys in the 80's and I hated them. Go look at the history, the PlayStation crowd on this board thinks it's Bama, but the Aggies are worse.

I like your post, but I disagree.

LSU-Arkansas has been a great series. That Friday after Thanksgiving has always been interesting and filled with great games.

In 1993, LSU lost to Arkansas in a game that would have propelled LSU into a bowl game for the first time since 1988.
In 1995, LSU beat Arkansas 28-0 to clinch a bowl game for the first time since 1988.
In 1996, LSU beat Arkansas 17-7 in Little Rock to wrap up a 9-2 record.
In 1999, LSU beat Arkansas 35-10 to win only their third game of the year against a far superior Arkansas team.
In 2001, LSU beat Arkansas to keep their SEC Championship Game hopes alive.
In 2002, Miracle on Markham happened.
In 2003, LSU beat Arkansas 55-24 in a cold Tiger Stadium to win their second SEC West Championship in three years.
In 2005, LSU beat Arkansas 19-17 to wrap up a 10-1 season and advance to their third SEC Championship Game in five years.
In 2006, LSU beat Arkansas to clinch a Sugar Bowl berth in an awesome game at War Memorial Stadium.
In 2007, Triple OT happened.

Great series. Are they our true rival? No, but they are *one* of our rivals.

I don't know if Arkansas's our rival, but they're my most hated team in the SEC.

Yeah, and 'the Boot' is simply not very creative or imaginative. A big chunk of metal with two state's shape stuck together. Pretty lame. Always has been.
