The powers that be in Baton Rougeended the series abruptly in 1995 much to the chagrin of both fan bases. Both programs had a lot of respect for one another and I think both schools could benefit from reopening the series especially in this 12 game season college football world in which we now live.
You probably won’t see it anytime soon as only time may mend the bridge that LSU seemingly burned. With that in mind, Houston would be a great neutral site for these teams to play even if A&M would be more favorably represented. It might be a way for LSU to bury the hatchet and get on the Aggies’ good side.
Between all the “Tigah Baits!” and the “Whooooops!” being yelled out, this would be like visiting a foreign country without you having to bring your passport.
Penn State-Pitt (PSU leads series 50-42-4)
Who wouldn’t love to see Joe Paterno in his 124th season coaching taking on the Wannstache?
Well, unfortunately I think Paterno himself is the answer to that question. The two teams haven’t played since 2000.
Pitt fans say it’s a grudge held by Paterno for Pitt joining the Big East way back when. Some say Pitt got their feathers ruffled when PSU offered a 2 and 1 series in which Pitt would host one game to Penn State’s two.
I’m just a southern boy so I’m not well versed in this rivalry but college football will be better for having this rivalry start up again. According to Panther fans, that won’t happen until Joe Pa hangs it up.
Alabama-Texas (Texas leads series 7-0-1)
I was trying to think of two storied programs with great fan bases and national attention that I would like to see play and these two teams popped into my head.
Then I looked up the head to head series score which I thought would be close. Wow! You see that Bama fans? 0-7-1. This score must be settled!
