Minus the corps of cadets


We used to have that - in WWII, West Point (USMA), Annapolis (USNA), aTm and LSU produced the largest cadres of commissioned officers to serve in the war. They held onto their tradition, we did not.

(Full disclosure: I received my commission through LSU's ROTC program.)

I was driving from Nola to BR when the game started last night, and I was listening to the pregame show on 870, and Les was on there talking about how he didn't know how big of a rivalry this game was until after the Cotton Bowl where we waxed them. Said everywhere he went Tiger fans let him know how happy they were to beat aTm.

Call it the Gulf War and use a massive wrench/oil well/barrel.

Done.

Somebody needs to tell Miles that they give a trophy for winning the SEC, or national title. Taking elite talent and placing them in a junior high offense might win you 8-10 games a year, but you ain't winning a trophy for that.


Yea, Miles has no idea what the SEC or national champion trophies looks like.

Why not make it a golden sword since both schools have a military tradition?

That would be bad arse

Leave it to Les Miles to come up with another wacky rivalry idea. On second thought, don't leave it up to him.

LSU already has the burden of the Boot in its annual battle with Arkansas. But Miles thinks the LSU-Texas A&M rivalry needs a similar type of trophy.

"It's a tremendous rivalry; we need a trophy," Miles said. "Somebody needs to come up with a trophy. Like a big, uh, because there's so much petroleum on both ends."

When one media member suggested an oil barrel, Miles replied, "Not a barrel. A wrench or something, like the roughnecks, am I right?

"I think there's a chance for a trophy out there. It's a hell of an idea." LINK



Sounds great. Miles can do the trophies and maybe we can get someone else to coach.

Here's a candidate deemed appropriate from the mind of Miles:

battle of the sabine river. a big arse!
the sabine separates the coonasses from the horsesasses!


how many names for the auburn games?


we're gonna be stuck in the sec west with al and au for the rest of eternity. we may not win the nc or sec every year, so, why not have a name and trophy?

tam is a natural rivalry and i think the ark/boot is a great rivalry.

i'm for fun!

Ahh, well the reporter sounds like a miserable count. Either way, I'd suggest using the quote function when pasting from an article.
