I think every other year plus possible SEC Champ game would make it just as interesting if not more.

A&M has to be one. If you don't know LSU prior to Saban, you don't know that they've been a rival for longer than most of us have been alive. Ole Miss has to be another. That makes the third option between Florida and Bama. Throw Arkansas in there, not because I want it, but I'm sure Arkansas has LSU at the top of their list.

I know the history.

I disagree with them being in the conference and constantly getting shoved on us to give them legitimacy.

Don’t know how many times I have to say. Someone in the know says 100% no Bama.

Think they’d give them Auburn, Tennessee and us?

Dittos

We've played UF more than A&M, they've been in the conference longer, and the series is about as even as it gets.

Don't let that poll lie to you. They want Vandy, MSST, and Auburn.

Yeah, I did a simple LSU to University of Arkansas rather than a stadium-to-stadium search.

I know we've played MSU the most of any team, but it's never seemed like a rivalry, as LSU has generally thoroughly dominated the series. There have been only a comparatively few occasions Miss St has had good, competitive teams.
