Just reading that makes me laugh. It embodies every homerific characteristic about Ole Miss. "Our rivalry with LSU is like you rivalry with Ohio State"...just get the 17 out of here. By the way, good first post.

he could have just said, "we hate them, they hate us" and been done with it.

from what I can tell from the last couple of meetings. Their biggest rival is Vanderbilt.

First of all this letter is in and of its self proof that we are your "real rival" otherwise this letter would be to Texas A&M.

The truth of this letter is hidden behind the false bravado saturating the paragraphs. As I read about the numerous reasons why MSU hates Ole Miss, I came to realize that the majority of these reasons were given so as to give the writer a chance to build up his crippled Ego. Losing to MSU for two strait years coming off the heels of two Cotton Bowls has left an obvious bad taste in the mouth.

Probably more upsetting is the fact that UMiss lost to Vandy by two TDs at home and also lost to an FCS school. Ole Miss has absolutely nothing to throw in our face. You want Michigan to beat us because it will feel so good to you. Why? Because we are annoying? Losing to 17ing Vandy by two TDs at home is annoying. Losing to the people you hold in such low regard, your "little brother", folks not "cut from the same cloth", folks"in your shadow", losing to people who "rely on you for their very existence", no that's not annoying, that eats at your very soul. The essence of your being relies on you being better than us. This is admitted in the post-script "<span style="">And, even if you do lose, you'll have the
same solace we do knowing that, regardless of the outcome of a football game,
you're still <span style="">better</span>."

</span>I don't hate Ole Miss. But Ole Miss sure hates us. In the student section of this years Egg Bowl i heard plenty of "17 State"s. It was surprising. If I was to believe the Ole Miss faithful, then we are simply "house keeping". In reality Vandy and Jacksonville State are housekeeping. In Ole Miss fans' warped psyche they feel the need to hold us out as trash so that they don't have to come down off their high horse and admit that they aren't that special.

Ole Miss - LSU is a annual matchup on a football schedule. Michigan - Ohio State is a rivalry.

The term "Flagship" who truly believe they are cut from a different cloth than us. A bear friend of mine once said that he though Mississippi southern should be considered the flagship because they were the largest school in the state and have he most business majors. I quickly pointed out that STATE had the most students enrolled and told him Dr. Z said it best when he said if they are the flagship, we are the spaceship.

That's a pretty big thesis to your quasi-rival's bowl opponent. If he speaks the truth, and the corn dog nation is their rival, I'm terrified to read the novel that Texas A&M receives.

The writer mentioned Ole Miss and Michigan as having the "largest endowments". Now I am going to avoid the obvious joke there, but Mississippi State receives more funding than any other institution in the state of Mississippi. In fact, in terms of Federal funding, there is no other public university that receives more fed funding than Mississippi State. Number two is Ole Miss (you can thank Thad Cochran for that).

Ole Miss is, without a doubt, an older institution. We have more students and more funding. Enough said for me.

Dr. Z is the greatest.

Even though there is no love lost for the Wolverines nor the Rebels, the Spartans and Bulldogs know, somewhere deep inside through a few subcutaneous layers of adipose tissue and cheese, that their very identities rely on our existence, survival, and success.

And that, my friends, is the greatest reason for their hatred towards us.

Someone please let me know when a blogger from another school visits RCR or some other UM site and compares their rivalry game to UM-LSU. Or UM-State for that matter. Then maybe this kind of babble won't seem so pathetic.

treating agriculture like a legitimate scientific discipline is grounds for scorn. Of course, that stance requires some phenomenal cognitive dissonance since their campus is home to a USDA lab, a lab that grows low-quality cannabis, and a center for "natural resources" (don't you DARE call it agriculture) named after a Senator (because they're classy). Using their logic, universities should be four years of social grooming and incubators for ironically elitist asshats and nothing more.

Last time I checked, Mississippi State was almost twice the size of Ole Miss, with more earmarking than any other school in the United States of America. That's called political power.

In sports, Ole Miss has had limited success over us in the past 10 years. Grasping for something over 10 years old is desperate.

The best landscape agriculture program in the country: "Of course, MSU grads cut grass for a living."
One of the top 5 vet schools in the country: "Of course, MSU grads hang out with pigs and cows all day."
PGM: "Of course, MSU grads are the Bill Murray's of the golf industry."
Architecture: "Yeah, but it's not even half as good as it used to be. Ole Miss should start an architecture school."
Engineering: "Did you know Ole Miss has an engineering school? MSU doesn't even have geological or petroleum engineering anymore."

Don't even get me started on the business school. Or the fact that more MSU grads attend Ole Miss law than Ole Miss grads.

Once the football team becomes consistent in winning and the economy bounces from enrollment and lesser alcohol laws, there won't be an issue with these pricks.

Let me preface my comments with this: I am a PROUD native of MS. And thus, I find it quite comical how those idiots us all sorts of agricultural monikers for State and our fanbase. These are fellow MS-ans, and they pretend that they're from some metropolitan area that wouldn't dare step on anything other than concrete, carpet, or highly manicured grass. They act as if their campus was some urban retreat in the NE. These are people who, I'm pretty sure since they are also from MS or at least attending school in MS, rely on farmers and agriculture for their day-to-day endeavors. People who I'm sure know perfectly well what cow manure smells like. And the fact that they act as if State only offers an education in bovine sciences shows their true ignorance. Good gosh at the business majors, accountants, poli-sci, and even scientists that State puts out there. It's like a bum making fun of another bum.
Again, I love MS very much and am truly proud to be from there, but for them to act like their heritage and class is exclusive to them is truly a huge personality defect. This is another perfect reason to loathe those imbeciles. It reminds me of the saying about polishing a terd. It's still a terd.

same result, probably about the same amount of bandwidth. And that would have been over in about 4 minutes.
