Pete reminding us of the important stuff. Old school Sam photos are dope.
Arkansas and LSU used to play the day after Thanksgiving annually, but that changed in 2012 when Texas A&M and Missouri joined the SEC. The schools still play for the Golden Boot.
Arkansas and LSU have been playing in the ‘Battle for the Golden Boot’ since 1996, but the schools have a history that dates back to 1901, when LSU defeated the Razorbacks 15-0.
When Arkansas joined the SEC in 1992 in football, the schools started playing annually for the first time ever.
LSU holds a 19-10 lead in that time frame, and a 42-22-2 all-time advantage.
The schools have had some epic games in the last two decades, however, and we will rehash them here.
