    We are 45 minutes away from them. We compete for students, teachers, national recognition, and state funding.

    We recruit many of the same athletes, we are judged against each other, and every now and then...we play each other in sports.

    Sure, if your definition of "Rival" is strictly based on football...they are definitely on another level.

    But then again, if you make up your own definitions for words I guess you can never be wrong.

    Take it from someone who spent many years in Middle Tennessee.... there are as many MTSU people who feel the same about UT-K as people in our fan base feel about LSU A&MC @ BR.

    1.
    a person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor.
    2.
    a person or thing that is in a position to dispute another's preeminence or superiority. _
    Key word in both those definitions is "Person" we are talking about a school. if these definitions applied to school rivalries, we would be rivals with everyone we play..

    That's why I used them as an example. The people at Middle tennessee don't like Tennessee, but would you consider them rivals in sports?!?! I know I don't.

    Am I the only one with access to google.com?

    http://www.wordiq.com/definition/School_rivalry

    School rivalry - Definition
    Pairs of schools, especially when they are close to each other either geographically or in their areas of specialization, establish a school rivalry with each other over the years. This rivalry can extend to both academics and athletics, the latter being typically more well-known to the general public.

    Academics aside. I dont see us competing with them on a consistent enough basis athletically. LSU and UL fans don't like each other. Florida and LSU are rivals.

    The article refers to them as our "in-state rival".

    Would you consider them our "in-state rival"?

    I honestly am not sure. Here's why: In football I say no we are not in state rivals. When I look at just about all the other sports I notice we have teams that are capable of beating theirs and most of our fans have a certain hatred for LSU. But LSU fans dont feel the same. Like the article said, they(the fans) hate us but not for the same reasons. They see us as annoying and people who dont know their place (which is total BS, but trust me, this is how most feel). They never really look at us as much of a threat and see us as irrelevant in competitions. So is it an in state rivalry if one fan base doesn't seem to really see the other team as a threat? Again just to be clear I am talking about athletics. Academics and politics is a whole other story.

    We must be rivals. Two LSU guys own Walk On's and they have UL and LSU on the same wall. Remember; "A House United"..........

    We can play with them and maybe beat them in b-ball(I think that we ended the season ranked higher----In softball we are actually a better program----In baseball we kicked their butt at their place (we do not have a better program but yes we have won enough to have them respect us)----We aren't there in WBB and won't be with our coach----T&F they are way ahead------It is not only LSU but all the other schools holding us back-----If they only let us rise to a level we want to achieve and LEAVE US ALONE!!!!
