Personally, if it's two teams I don't care about, it'd better be an exciting good back'n'forth type affair for me to watch. Plus the Bayou classic just isn't the same anymore. Zook doesn't provide near the foil for good'ol'boy Bowden that Spurrier did for all those years.
Not sure how it's a race thing, though I'm sure you're joking on that one
Now if you were to talk about Grambling vs. Jackson State, that'd be another issue
