Major League Baseball there is the New York Yankees vs. the Boston Red Sox.
College basketball has Duke vs. North Carolina.
And college football has Michigan vs. Ohio State, Auburn vs. Alabama and LSU vs. Arkansas … or Ole Miss … or Florida … or, Alabama.
The list goes on.
While LSU provides one of the most unique and exciting atmospheres in college sports, one thing the football program has lacked in recent years is the presence of a big-time rivalry - the single game fans and players alike look forward to every season.
Some players mark the day of the Florida game on their calendars, others the Auburn game, and others circle the day after Thanksgiving when the Tigers traditionally battle Arkansas for the Golden Boot.
Ever since LSU and USC split the national championship in 2003, Tiger fans have developed hatred for the Trojans, developing a "rivalry" based not on head-to-head wins and losses but on polling decisions by media members and coaches.
