Most LSU fans I know older & younger than me do not consider Arkansas, Ole Miss or Texas A&M bigger rivals than Bama or Florida!

Say what? Ole Miss is probably one of our oldest traditional rivals. I was upset about not having Bama every year. I don’t give a shite about Florida.

You use exclamation points more than a 14 year old girl.

Ole Miss was a bigger rival 75 years ago.

Have you been to Oxford? There is vitriol hate between the schools, fan bases and just ways of life. The game meant more in positioning oneself in the SEC west pecking order.

They said it was permanent a couple years ago with the SEC expansion.

No they didn’t. They said the exact opposite.

The 2024 schedule was supposed to be a one-year thing while the SEC figured out a new permanent format, then they pushed it to 2 years (flipping home/away for 2025) because they didn’t have the permanent format in place yet this year.

So yeah.. the entire premise of your thread is basically wrong.

The fact the SEC Admin Office gave LSU neither one of their biggest rivals which we know is Bama & Florida


Historically, Ole Miss is LSUs biggest rivalry and I believe we’ve played state more times than any other team.

LSU & Bama is one of the biggest matchups in the SEC!


Only because Saban was their coach.

It's not about being scared. It's about making the playoffs and the chance to win a natty. Why make the schedule harder than necessary.

Alabama became a rival once Saban arrived after making LSU a great program that it still is and the game became competitive. Before that, there was no rivalry because Bama owned LSU.

Florida, I won't miss them nor their obnoxious fans.
