LSU needs a rival to reciprocate the hate. It thinks Alabama is a rival, but the Crimson Tide obviously has Auburn, and to a lesser extent, Tennessee. LSU thinks Ole Miss is a rival, but it has Mississippi State. LSU thinks Florida is a rival, but it has FSU and Georgia. Arkansas wanted a rivalry with LSU to blossom, but LSU has tried its best to ignore the Razorbacks.
@@DNSKansas Right! Isn't Tulane LSU's old rival? Guess that's over with since Tulane left the SEC in 1966. I am a Razorback fan and I don't think we can win enough games with LSU to get LSU to respect us enough to have a real rivalry which is pretty much what you just said. Our real rival is Texas. Always has been. It was red-hot when I was growing up in the 60-80s. Don't think Texas will ever respect Mizzou enough to consider them a real rival even if Mizzou continues to play well. I sorta doubt Ark. can give Texas enough run for their money anymore to get the rivlery to be what it was, but the history is still there, and Hog fans still go absolutely crazy when we get to play them.
@@ruckanitepreacher5618I can’t wait for Texas and Arkansas to play again! I grew up in the time right after Arkansas split for the SEC but I was raised on the stories of the SWC from my Arkansas father.
I can see LSU becoming an instant rival, especially in baseball. The game in Houston at the College Classic a couple of seasons back felt like a CWS game, and when they do meet in Omaha it is always titanic. I imagine the in-season games are going to be SUPER intense.
LSU will dominate us until we get a real coach and not some hack who melts down when it matters most. Guy sucks at recruiting as well. Best thing about joining the SEC for me (as someone who loves texas baseball) is this fraud can't hide behind a crappy baseball conference. He'll last one year in the SEC and we'll finally be rid of this idiot.
@@lorenzohaynes3886 ain't no NEW rivals. Rivals is about history, Tradition, teams that have been hating each other for years that's a real rivalry. These days they are trying to force new rivals
As a UT fan, we don't view tu as comparable to us in any sport. We've kicked their ass in basketball the last two years (thanks for Rick Barnes by the way), your baseball team sucks ass, and your football team is barely relevant (Nico > Arch).
As an LSU fan, I was a little surprised that the SEC didn't schedule LSU vs. Texas for the upcoming season in Tiger Stadium. Hopefully, we will get that game in 2025. Great video. Keep it up
As an alumn of both UTs, I would love to see a friendly rivalry between the two schools. The states have so much history together that I consider them sister states. The schools themselves have a lot of similarities as well. Texas/Tennessee has my vote! Go Big Orange & Hook 'Em Horns!
The new schedules will be much better than the last expansion. A&M still hasn't completed their first home-and away at all the teams in the old Eastern division. That was crazy.
LSU vs Mississippi State is probably the closest thing to a friendly rivalry in the SEC, if you can call it that. We have a ton of respect for each other on the diamond as the blue blood programs of SEC baseball, and we are unified in our dislike of Ole Miss. I was happy to see them win the baseball title in 2021. And I agree with this video that LSU-Texas will become a rivalry very quickly. Our fans will grow to loathe Texas even more than we’ve grown to loathe A&M. It won’t take long.
Yeah I think Texas fans of a certain age feel some type of way about Alabama because of the 2010 National Championship - you can trace the downfall of the program to the season after that game. For me, the win over Bama this year was cathartic because it seemed like we’d come full circle.
Only one I think could develop into rivalry is LSU. Had a great match up a few years ago. Neighbor states. Huge public schools. And both very relevant in football and baseball.
I agree. I went to a Texans-Saints game a few years ago and saw more New Orleans fans than Houston. And Houston high school football has deep ties to LSU and the SEC generally, as opposed to the Longhorns. UT will look to change that going forward.
IKR? why does the T have to be golden? The Orange is right there. I could picture the hypothetical trophy having a pedestal painted white, and the T would have one side being blocky and painted burnt orange, and the other side is smoother and painted Tennessee orange.
Strong takes. And even though we'll all hate each other soon enough, let me say I'm really glad you guys are here. My only wish is that IF a new rivalry is forged between us (LSU, btw), i hope it happens organically. I remember when Arkansas first joined in the 90s, and they forced this artificial rivalry between us (last game of the year, Friday after Thanksgiving, "the battle for the boot", the ugliest trophy in history, etc.)... And in almost 30 years, im pretty sure that no one ever circled that game on the calendar.
Thank you! You're spot-on about the golden boot. It looks like the league kept that in mind when scheduling the next 2 seasons. Everyone plays everyone! So it'll be fun to see what develops.
Good discussion. As a UGA Alum/fan I would guess that LSU would be the most likely. I would think that it would need to be teams that either touch the state of Texas or at least west of the Mississippi River.
You forgot to mention the Rick Barnes angle in the Tennessee-Texas rivalry. As a long time Tennessee fan, I am looking forward to seeing this basketball rivalry escalate.
Texas & Alabama already have a pretty good rivalry.. we beat them in 2009 for a national title and beat them in a really close game with Bryce Young and they got us last year
Alabama: two historic programs with great competition during their last two matchups Georgia: The big dawg that gave Texas their “Welcome to the SEC loss” Tennessee: Battle for the moniker UT. Whoever wins the game gets to hold onto it until their next matchup.
I think your analysis is spot on with Alabama and LSU. I was so disappointed that the pandemic canceled the trip to Baton Rouge in 2020. But Tennessee is such a long shot. Like most schools, Texas will be their big game and rival but I just don't see the fans caring about Knoxville
Honestly speaking Tennessees big games are Alabama, Florida and Georgia. Neyland would be rocking bc Texas is a rare opponent but it wouldn’t be considered “their big game”.
Texas acting like they would be in the top 4 rivals for the Vols is hilarious. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Kentucky all are higher and no one in Knoxville cares at all about Texas hahahaha
It's going to be the old traditional rivalries vs OU, A&M, and Arkansas for sure! They might develop some temporary rivalries with other SEC teams, like Alabama, Georgia, or LSU, but they won't last but a couple of years. Their annual rivals will always be those first three I mentioned ... especially OU.
Spot on analysis, in my opinion....We can't wait to FINALLY get to host the Horns in Baton Rouge. We were all robbed of a good time, back in 2020. It will be a great time when they finally get to appear in Tiger Stadium. And that's just talking football. A huge baseball rivalry in on the way next spring, as well......Instant classics incoming!
You mentioned that Tennessee and Texas share Sam Houston and David Crockett, but the man at the very core of Tennessee football was Brig. Gen. Robert Neyland, for whom Tennessee's stadium is named. He is from Greenville, Texas.
I completely forgot about Auburn. They have struggled as of late, but you just never know which Auburn will show up.....the crap team that has been seen much of the last several years, or the team would have beaten Bama if not for the 4th down miracle.
This is a good list, I can definitely see Bama being a rival especially with how the last 2 times they’ve played each other went and obviously the last national championship against each other. As long as both teams are good it will be fun to watch
Obv OU and little brother will be the rivalries. But I want UT vs UT to be a rivalry bowl game for the bragging rights of who’s the real UT. The UT bowl would be amazing. Plus both stadiums are over 100k.
I would say Georgia, Alabama, and LSU, with the possibility of Ole Miss and Tennessee, but while Ole Miss will be good in 2024, they lose a ton after 2024 and have to prove building a program through the portal is sustainable. Tennessee has to prove it can return to the level it was at in the 90's.
@ammoniawilder4451 While I get that point in theory, it doesn't seem to apply in practice. Even though both Ole Miss and Texas seem to be on a similar trajectory, Texas has been given the benefit of the doubt that "they're back." And they may very well be. Good coach. Good returning qb. A lot of pieces are there to make a run. Also, Texas has the benefit of "brand" and the fact that they've been to the mountaintop. Ole Miss has never been an elite program or brand. They're kind of in the same boat as Missouri right now. They finally had really good year, now they have to prove they can sustain it. I'm gonna say that both teams make the playoffs this year. And Tennessee??? Well... I hear it's lovely there.
@liamk1977 The difference between Texas and Ole Miss is Texas has had much stronger HS recruiting classes, and Ole Miss is built through the portal. Their projected starting QB, RB, TE, all 3 WRs, 8 of their top 10 OL, entire starting DL, 1 LB, and 2 DBs are all on their last year of eligibility, with little proven talent behind it. Tennessee has the HS recruiting. Huepel has done better in his first 3 years at TN than Kiffen did in his first 3 years at OM, Also, Tennessee has historically gotten more talent than OM and we will have to see how Iamaleava does at QB. Texas is trying to get back after 15 years Tennessee after 25 Ole Miss after 60
Alabama vs Texas will be competition on who is the true king of the south. Both states represent southern pride: Texas: Believe their lone star state rule the south base on history and strong political influence. Alabama: Has strong core southern culture and tides to the southeastern region. What Northerners, Europeans, and etc. think of the South of USA it's either Texas or Alabama. Texas vs Texas A&M reborn rivalry will be exciting. Battle of Texas!
I think Georgia will be our newest rivalry. Atlanta already has a rivalry with Houston and Dallas. Lil Flip vs T.I., Young Thug vs Sauce Walka, The Braves vs Astros, the Von Erica vs the Freebirds, Texas Country vs Georgia country music. Texas and Georgia both want to be the most influential state in the South.
In addition to the 3 known rivals I can see LSU or Alabama. Because of historic Tennessee-Texas connection and Tennessee’s “Decade of Darkness” being over then Tennessee is a viable rival for either Texas or A&M.
Texas new rivals will be the old rivals - OU and Texas. Texas has no rivals among their new SEC opponents. As a Texas-ex, I don’t even consider Arkansas as a rival.
@@Mark-zx2bq she is saying Arkansas is not a rival of Texas despite their history. It sounds like she is a Big12 Texas fan. She doesnt know the true history of Tex-Ark from the 60's-70's.
Texas and Oklahoma have built in rivals, for sure. However, one cannot be "designated" in advance. A new rivalry will simply happen, and it is likely a team not currently on their radar. A guess? Texas vs. Georgia/Tenn. Okla. vs. Bama/Ole Miss
I think you're spot on with the schools you chose as new rivals, and you have very good reasons for these new rivals... I'm so ready to see if my cousin Lil Ryan will get significant playing time his freshman year at Bama... #RollTide🐘
As a Georgia fan, I have to say that I don't see our teams being natural rivals. There have been some great games between the teams, and I think there is mutual respect, but Georgia has more than enough rivals, we don't need any more 😆
@3:35 that LSU Longhorns game was not close. They just hung around forever. But yea there will be hatred cuz we are total opposites as fanbases. Im not gonna talk trash cuz i acknowledge how good their team is every year but we do things COMPLETELY differently
Wrong. That was a 6-point game with 2:27 left in the 4th. LSU had to convert a 3rd and 17 from their own 39. Unfortunately for Texas, LB Jeffery McCullock just missed a sack and DT Keondre Coburn arrived at Burrow half a step too late. Burrow threw a duck, but it was a completed duck for a 61-yard TD on a great run by Jefferson. LSU won the game, congrats. But don't act like the game was a blowout...it wasn't.
It’s Texas vs the World, period. Name any school that wouldn’t circle and get up for a game against Texas with ALL our hype and history year after year!! Oh wait, we found one that took us lightly…Georgia in the 2019 Sugar Bowl…my bad, but we took care of them Dawgs! 🤘🏼🤨🤘🏼
Not a Texas fan but they already have rivals with Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. I do think Alabama, LSU, and Tennessee could be interesting for them (the latter can be a battle of the UTs).
Imma clear the air about the 2019 LSU at Texas. I was on the sidelines (LSU sideline) and in the visitors tunnel before that game taking part in pregame festivities. There ABSOLUTELY was water on the LSU sidelines as I got water from a jug out out for their cheerleaders before the game. I can honestly say that there absolutely WAS a/c in their locker room as well as I walked right by their visitors locker room door and there was a waft of cold air that came out the door. Coach Ed O needed excuses for his team’s lackluster performance that day and straight up lied all around to cover his team’s flaws in that game. Even the LA Tech coach from the week before confirmed he was lying. I can absolutely see a hate rivalry between LSU and Texas based simply on the lies the 2019 team and coach spread.
Half of south texas are pretty much LSU fans . The Houston classic last weekend had 2 to 1 LSU fans vs UTa and the actual University of Houston. It's going to be lit
As far as football, really surprised Texas’ lack of in conference strength. If Texas had an LSU, Ole Miss or even TN, then i could see a new rival; especially LSU. Texas has one of the weakest in conference schedules in the SEC and that will only hurt them in the event of tied records at the end of the season. Hope more of the SEC gets on a rotating schedule over the years
Texas plays two preseason Top 10 teams & four Top 20 overall. Not the toughest schedule as others (see: Florida); but throw in Michigan in nonconference & it's a very commendable schedule, w/three Top 10 teams, including the last two NCs.
Barring Oklahoma I’d say it’s 1. Texas A&M, a whole lotta bad blood here after the SwC and big 12 days; 2. LSU, geographic proximity makes this a shoe in but Texas A&M already plays them during rivalry week so it could get a little weird having two Texan rivals; 3. Tennessee, Texas is kind of Tennessee’s little brother and I mean that in a literal sense, tennesseans like Davy Crockett and Sam Houston were instrumental in forming Texas and breaking away from Mexico so the two states are connected by blood beyond just sharing the acronym of “UT” and that could make for a good brotherly rivalry; 4. Arkansas, this would mostly be rehashing the old SwC rivalry but Arkansas kinda sucks at football right now so it wouldn’t exactly be competitive; 5. Alabama, money.
@@richstex4736 probably because he died at the Alamo and became a symbol of Texan-American unity during the Mexican-American war, especially because he was a former congressman. Crockett didn’t spend years in Texas but his impact was felt for just as long had he been there for years.
Their rivals are going to be the same one they've had for the past 100 years, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Arkansas. And maybe are LSU since its a border state.
They think they can make rivals overnight rivals come with years and years and years of playing against each other close games not saying hey you wanna be our rival!! Arkansas and Texas is always been a kind of rivalry game but I think Oklahoma and Texas has the actual rivalry game
Pretty obvious OU, A&M, and Arkansas. Cause they played each other when all 4 was in the Southwest Conference then I think Arkansas left before it became the Big 12.
As a Texan, I cant wait for Texas vs A&M
Nearly everyone in Texas is.
Welcome, the SEC IS the best, little different in my experience though.
Texas holds a roughly 2-1 series edge. Us Horns look forward to beating them again starting this season.
In an era with some many rivalries dying left and right, it's nice to see some great rivalries restored such as Texas vs A&M and Texas vs Arkansas
As a Tiger id like to see that game
LSU and Texas fans have a genuine dislike for each other. I hope LSU will become a huge rival

Texas is trying to get back after 15 years
Tennessee after 25
Ole Miss after 60

Alabama vs Texas will be competition on who is the true king of the south.
Both states represent southern pride:
Texas: Believe their lone star state rule the south base on history and strong political influence.
Alabama: Has strong core southern culture and tides to the southeastern region.
What Northerners, Europeans, and etc. think of the South of USA it's either Texas or Alabama.
Texas vs Texas A&M reborn rivalry will be exciting. Battle of Texas!
100% agree. Well said!
For Texas. OU, Arkansas and atm.
For everyone else. Texas. It’s always been like this
tennessee is the real ut. no questions. the TRUE orange and white.
Yeah ok.
@@clifftondouangdara6249 If it wasn’t for Tennessee Texas would be Mexico.
@@justinwashington7076 Please elaborate.
@@richstex4736 Just look up the Mexican American war in 1848 when 30,000 Tennesseans volunteered to help fight.
I think Georgia will be our newest rivalry. Atlanta already has a rivalry with Houston and Dallas. Lil Flip vs T.I., Young Thug vs Sauce Walka, The Braves vs Astros, the Von Erica vs the Freebirds, Texas Country vs Georgia country music. Texas and Georgia both want to be the most influential state in the South.
Excellent points!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Ole Miss could be another good rival for Texas in multiple sports (football, baseball, and even track & field).
It could be. I remember a lot of exictement when the Rebels came to town in 2013. And with Lane Kiffin at the helm...anything's possible!
UF and Texas could become a rivalry considering they’re 2 of the big 3 football states but that starts with keeping the recruits in state first
I can see an Alabama or Georgia rivalry in football, LSU for baseball, and Tennessee in basketball.
For Longhorn's new rivalries, I am thinking AL and LSU. For OU, it'll be Razorbacks (similar to Nebraska--a gentlemen's rivalry), Gators, and Auburn.
In addition to the 3 known rivals I can see LSU or Alabama. Because of historic Tennessee-Texas connection and Tennessee’s “Decade of Darkness” being over then Tennessee is a viable rival for either Texas or A&M.
We have enough rivals
Texas new rivals will be the old rivals - OU and Texas.
Texas has no rivals among their new SEC opponents.
As a Texas-ex, I don’t even consider Arkansas as a rival.
same here....I am on the fence about A&M--Texas renewed. Yes they are our rivals, but it is not the same as OU-Tex
Wtf are you talking about?
@@Mark-zx2bq she is saying Arkansas is not a rival of Texas despite their history. It sounds like she is a Big12 Texas fan. She doesnt know the true history of Tex-Ark from the 60's-70's.
@@darrylbrown8253 Texas A&M?
@@darrylbrown8253 Hell, you stated, yourself, that you aren't even sure about A&M. Smh
Texas and Oklahoma have built in rivals, for sure. However, one cannot be "designated" in advance. A new rivalry will simply happen, and it is likely a team not currently on their radar. A guess?
Texas vs. Georgia/Tenn.
Okla. vs. Bama/Ole Miss
I think you're spot on with the schools you chose as new rivals, and you have very good reasons for these new rivals... I'm so ready to see if my cousin Lil Ryan will get significant playing time his freshman year at Bama... #RollTide🐘
Thank you! Your cousin's commitment was a HUGE win for Coach DeBoer. I suspect he'll be seeing a lot of PT this season.
As a,Missourian I hate that they screw up our division we don't play Georgia
As a Georgia fan, I have to say that I don't see our teams being natural rivals. There have been some great games between the teams, and I think there is mutual respect, but Georgia has more than enough rivals, we don't need any more 😆
Spot on 🤘🏻
An Alabama vs Texas rivalry would feed families
@3:35 that LSU Longhorns game was not close. They just hung around forever. But yea there will be hatred cuz we are total opposites as fanbases. Im not gonna talk trash cuz i acknowledge how good their team is every year but we do things COMPLETELY differently
Wrong. That was a 6-point game with 2:27 left in the 4th. LSU had to convert a 3rd and 17 from their own 39. Unfortunately for Texas, LB Jeffery McCullock just missed a sack and DT Keondre Coburn arrived at Burrow half a step too late. Burrow threw a duck, but it was a completed duck for a 61-yard TD on a great run by Jefferson. LSU won the game, congrats. But don't act like the game was a blowout...it wasn't.
It’s Texas vs the World, period. Name any school that wouldn’t circle and get up for a game against Texas with ALL our hype and history year after year!!
Oh wait, we found one that took us lightly…Georgia in the 2019 Sugar Bowl…my bad, but we took care of them Dawgs! 🤘🏼🤨🤘🏼
Georgia didn’t care about that game. They had multiple starters opt out that game. Yall beat UGA backups.
@@justinwashington7076 Don't forget crooked refs.
Not a Texas fan but they already have rivals with Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. I do think Alabama, LSU, and Tennessee could be interesting for them (the latter can be a battle of the UTs).
Imma clear the air about the 2019 LSU at Texas. I was on the sidelines (LSU sideline) and in the visitors tunnel before that game taking part in pregame festivities. There ABSOLUTELY was water on the LSU sidelines as I got water from a jug out out for their cheerleaders before the game. I can honestly say that there absolutely WAS a/c in their locker room as well as I walked right by their visitors locker room door and there was a waft of cold air that came out the door.
Coach Ed O needed excuses for his team’s lackluster performance that day and straight up lied all around to cover his team’s flaws in that game. Even the LA Tech coach from the week before confirmed he was lying.
I can absolutely see a hate rivalry between LSU and Texas based simply on the lies the 2019 team and coach spread.
That coach is gone. It would be great to see a respectful rivalry, akin to Texas-Alabama.
Gonna be fun
Texas had one good season and everybody acts like they’ve been in Alabama the whole time
I was thinking the same thing
texas-scar in womens hoops is gonna be cinema. and we aint forget about kim mulkey were the og haters
Half of south texas are pretty much LSU fans . The Houston classic last weekend had 2 to 1 LSU fans vs UTa and the actual University of Houston. It's going to be lit
I Will say that you guys do pretty much everything better than us except sports. That's why so many of us are on y'all's side of the border lol
As far as football, really surprised Texas’ lack of in conference strength. If Texas had an LSU, Ole Miss or even TN, then i could see a new rival; especially LSU. Texas has one of the weakest in conference schedules in the SEC and that will only hurt them in the event of tied records at the end of the season. Hope more of the SEC gets on a rotating schedule over the years
Texas plays two preseason Top 10 teams & four Top 20 overall. Not the toughest schedule as others (see: Florida); but throw in Michigan in nonconference & it's a very commendable schedule, w/three Top 10 teams, including the last two NCs.
Alabama seems to be the best choice, given the recent history.
Not playing Tech sucks
For them.
Getting some of the old big8 matchups again Texas A&M Arkansas and Oklahoma I’m sure new ones will emerge also
It's interesting that the SEC has 1/4 of the old Big 8, 1/3 of the old SWC, and 1/3 of the original B12. Rivalries everywhere!
It will be a rivalry renewed with A&M
It has got to be Texas A&M. Although I can see Arkansas also as a possibility.
Tenn vs Texas
Texans vs Titans
Barring Oklahoma I’d say it’s 1. Texas A&M, a whole lotta bad blood here after the SwC and big 12 days; 2. LSU, geographic proximity makes this a shoe in but Texas A&M already plays them during rivalry week so it could get a little weird having two Texan rivals; 3. Tennessee, Texas is kind of Tennessee’s little brother and I mean that in a literal sense, tennesseans like Davy Crockett and Sam Houston were instrumental in forming Texas and breaking away from Mexico so the two states are connected by blood beyond just sharing the acronym of “UT” and that could make for a good brotherly rivalry; 4. Arkansas, this would mostly be rehashing the old SwC rivalry but Arkansas kinda sucks at football right now so it wouldn’t exactly be competitive; 5. Alabama, money.
Hate to burst your bubble, but Mr. Crockett was in Texas only a few weeks & was consumed by matters other than forming a new republic.
@@richstex4736 probably because he died at the Alamo and became a symbol of Texan-American unity during the Mexican-American war, especially because he was a former congressman. Crockett didn’t spend years in Texas but his impact was felt for just as long had he been there for years.
@@motivationallizard6644 Please cite references to Crockett's influence as a unifying symbol during the Mexican-American War.
Vandy. They'll be fighting it out for next-to-last every year...
🤣
Ole Miss even though we arent keeping the original SEC West.
Definitely a&m, ou, Arkansas and probably bama now honestly
Texas doesn't care. Texas is always a conference leader and uniquely relevant in every sport.. SEC is going to get some hard learnin'.
Yep. What you say has some truth to it, but all teams in the SEC are equal, with 1 vote
Texas A&M revival
They develop a Texas LSU rivalry
Vol Nation in a sports kind of way, not personal kind of way, but a sports kind of way there's no such thing as a friendly rivalry

Ole Miss by damn.
Their rivals are going to be the same one they've had for the past 100 years, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Arkansas. And maybe are LSU since its a border state.
They think they can make rivals overnight rivals come with years and years and years of playing against each other close games not saying hey you wanna be our rival!! Arkansas and Texas is always been a kind of rivalry game but I think Oklahoma and Texas has the actual rivalry game
OU, A&M and Arkansas.
This is no brainer who is the real UT
We have enough rivalries to create more
Pretty obvious OU, A&M, and Arkansas. Cause they played each other when all 4 was in the Southwest Conference then I think Arkansas left before it became the Big 12.
Arkansas and A&M left for the SEC in 1992, before the Big 12.
@@jonh7480 A&M did not leave for the SEC in 92…..Arkansas left in 1990
@@Foxracing1205 Your right Texas A&M left in 2012.
The last time OU was a Southwest Conference member was in 1919, so technically you are correct.
