Discussion Can new rivalries be made

Georgia and Alabama have had some crazy games over the past 20 years or so. We've had some of the craziest games. They had our fucking number but we're finally turning the tide on them(no pun intended lol) We won our first national championship in 40 years against a team that shut our shit down time and time again.

Yet people keep telling me this is not a true rivalry. But it's the team and game I look forward to the most now fuck florida. So I want other people's opinion, is this not the biggest rivalry in the SEC at this point or what

Florida and LSU werent really rivals till the 2000s but it got as toxic as any other rivalry we have

Especially the hurricane game

I’d consider the 2007 game where the lsu students got tebows number and the 5 4th down conversions on that last drive to be the real tipping point where everyone on both sides decided “I fucking hate those guys”

True, and then hurricane game brought up a lot of collective trauma in both states which put it over the top
