Aggie and Arkansas were forced on us when they came into the league.
How old are you? Both of these schools had played LSU a significant amount of times before joining the SEC. Arkansas around 35 times and A&M around 50. They’re your 6th and 7th most played teams all-time. There’s nothing forced about those games at all.
The games were not forced. The "rivalries" were. That doesn't make either team a "rival" in comparison to other SEC teams we have played on an annual basis for almost a century.

I do agree that the battle of the boot was forced and many LSU fans were irritated as a result.
At the time LSU didn't have a rival and Arkansas sacrificed rivalries from the SWC to join the SEC.
It was a big game but nothing serious.
