It should be sip, corndog and pig. There is no other way.

Pig hates us so much that they pretend to be bigger rivals with sip, which is hilarious.

Give us these 3 rivals or go to Hell.

That is what I would prefer too. However, it was supposedly Miss St instead of Arkansas the last time this was discussed.

Give us our three actual rivals: Texas, LSU, Arkansas.

I don't see why it's not possible for us to get Arky. If the idea was to give Arkansas to Oklahoma, why not just give MSST to Oklahoma since OU doesn't have three true rivals in the SEC anyways?

This list I've seen seems to maximize rivalries:

Alabama: AUB, TENN, LSU
Arkansas: TEX, A&M, MIZ
Auburn: BAMA, UGA, MSST
Florida: UGA, TENN, SC
Georgia: FLA, AUB, SC
Kentucky: VAN, SC, MIZ
LSU: BAMA, A&M, MISS
Missouri: OU, ARK, UK
MS State: MISS, AUB, OU
Oklahoma: TEX, MIZ, MSST
Ole Miss: MSST, LSU, VAN
South Carolina: UGA, FLA, UK
Tennessee: VAN, BAMA, FLA
Texas: OU, A&M, ARK
Texas A&M: TEX, LSU, ARK
Vanderbilt: TENN, UK, MISS

(I posted this list once already in another thread, so this will be the last time I post it to not be a broken record.)

Don't tell Pig, you're an Ag. Have them fooled into thinking you're a fan of some other program not named A&M or t.u.

Now, ask them to list which programs they hate the most and order them.

You won't like it. Their reasoning goes back decades ago. They'll mention "game of the century." They played each other when conference championships were on the line, or playing for a national championship was implicated on who won.

I learned this from a Pig over 15 years ago.

It seemed to during the Stoops fiasco.

The more things change, the more they stay the same!

Doesn't feel like the SEC if a third of our games are from former SWC and '80's/'90s opponents.

One of many reasons I didnt want t.u in the conference or on the schedule. But, here we are, we now have a SWC/Big 12-Lite schedule again

sip will get to pick its rivals first of course. This is why we'll be stuck with Miss St or some other bum school.

Who cares. Let's just make the playoffs at some point. The easier our permanent opponents are, the better.

Everybody knows the longer you hang around Texas the more and more likely you're gonna get screwed.

No way Texas isn't going to be one of our 3.

I can't believe y'all all want to just abandon our traditional rival, South Carolina. Does the Bonham Trophy mean nothing to you??

You're probably right, but one can hope.

The first goal is to maintain traditional rivalries but the secondary objective has to be competitive balance. I think our three most logical permanent opponents are tu, arkansas and lsu. I think both lsu and arkansas would be considered secondary rivalries and are interchangeable. Playing in Baton Rouge every other year is a competitive disadvantage. Even when LSU is down it's hard to win there. Give me tu(primary rivalry), arkansas(secondary rivalry) and msst(competitive balance choice) as the best permanent opponents for Texas A&M.

True. But why make it hard on us. Play Mizzou or miss st instead of Arky.

I expect our rivals to be LSU, MSU, and tu.

If the conference goes strictly by "traditional rivals", MSU would be out, Piggy would be in.

I don't care who the 3rd team is after LSU and Texas but I'm not sure why you are propping up the hogs as being that strong. Mizzou is by far a better team than they are at this time.

Is this how you get LSU included in that list? We don't even know if pig will be our third rival either. Even if they are, this is great news because we'll see all 10 of the old guard SEC schools twice every four years.

I have a lot of LSU cousins and they hate Florida more than us, Bama, or especially Ole Miss.

I think that's the problem. Not every fan base is going to be happy. ou only has us and tu. They are going to force State down our throats because of Jackie and Ag school.

The best part of this will be listening to LSU fans complain about playing us.
Having nothing to do with wins/losses - they just hate it because its US.

Because it doesn't make sense, Bama, Auburn, Ole Miss, or Florida are bigger rivals. It's forced
