This series has always been something of a monument to the history of the program. And turbulent that it may be, it's underrated by most. Largely because it's used to fuel the lazy message-board narrative of B.S. (before Saban).
And one of those pieces of history that's really been lost in the modern era, is the rivalry with Tulane.
The Setting:
- LSU entered Rivalry Weekend in 1986 8-2, SEC champions and ranked fifth in the country, with a pair of home losses to Ole Miss and Miami of Ohio (???!!!).
