I know the history of the BS probably better than anyone on this board. Playing them in football is good for both schools.
I would like them to play every year also. On rivalry week like Clemson/USC, FLa / Fla st, UGA / Ga Tech..... Just not as conference mates.

Honestly, at least in football, they had a period where nationally they were recognized as such. They blew it and never during that period did they say let's rekindle the in-state rivalry.... Quite the opposite. Frug em now that the tables have turned
The rivalry aspect is ok but I think So Miss replaces that nicely.
100% THIS!

All of this. Our focus should be strengthening our rivalry with Southern Miss. Tuck Fech.

…….Jay playing them might be good for both schools…..but not playing them is good for only UL……I say this knowing that we will be LLLLLLLED TO THE MAX! I’ll take what is better and the best for us!
Re: Tech, Future Non-Conference Games
LA Tech is in charge of their own destiny. If they find good coaches and recruit good players they will win games. If they don't...they will lose. Win or lose to us has little bearing on their future or ours. If it were true, Tech would be miles ahead of us since we have not beat them in over 25 years. Glad the rivalry is being renewed.
