the 'Magnolia Bowl'...
1 - This strikes me as LSU trying to add another notch to their belt for recruiting. If they can claim another trophy it gives them more bragging rights, and especially if that trophy is something intimately familiar to recruits in neighboring states. I think OM got suckered there...
2 - Isn't it interesting how the OM faithful who came on this board to praise and defend this fluff cite RECENT history when discussing this 'rivalry'? Compared to our own rivalry, which usually ends up with some OM fan dusting off their old newspaper clippings that read something like 'Yea verily, twas quite the struggle twixt the Universities of yon glorious state on this pulchritudinous Medieval afternoon...EXCELSIOR!'
