LSU's student newspaper say...

I'm always amused by the grandiose pronouncements of children. If the rivalry is only imagined on the Ole Miss side, then why do the Bayou Bungholes persist in showing a 50 year old film clip on their jumbotron every year? Their obsession with a half century old play is almost as bad as the legion of doofi who travel I-20 for the purpose of fellating a corpse with a houndstooth hat. In short, stupid article.

No, they lost the Sugar Bowl. That run was in the regular season. They won that game 7-3. We beat them later that year 21-0 in the Sugar Bowl, and I want to say they didn't cross midfield or something like that.
The reason they show it is because it is supposedly the run that won Cannon the Heisman that year.
it's only one of the most famous plays in college football history. Other than that, nope, no idea why they show it.
That is the exact type of article that pisses off the football gods. Jonathan Brooks, you just screwed the Tigers.
Also, is that the mugshot of Coleen ("We bawlin' baby!") in the "Stay Classy Bama" pic? If not, the photo spread is incomplete.

Really pisses me off. There are rivalries all over the country were the series record is lopsided. Michigan has a large lead in the series with OSU. So, is it not a rivalry now?
Also, there are very few rivalries where both schools consider each other to be the main rival. Who is Florida main rival? FSU or UGA? Who is Bama's rival? AU or UT? WHo is UTs rival? UF or Bama or Vandy? Who is Texas rival? OU or A&M? While we are it....does LSU even have a true rival? They may consider Bama because of the Saban issue. Maybe UF because of the success of each program lately. But I guarantee Bama and UF don't consider LSU a rival. So, this dude should just climb down off his high horse. It is just sophomoric journalism to try and to dismiss a school as a rival because you feel you are "better than them."

I guess OM and Valpo are great rivals.<span style="margin-left: -51px; margin-top: -57px; opacity: 0.25;" class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble smarterwiki-popup-bubble-active"><span class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble-body"><span class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble-links smarterwiki-clearfix"><span class="smarterwiki-popup-bubble-links-row smarterwiki-clearfix">

A real rivalry isn't based on a coach, or any circumstance that can change. To me it's more about a long standing series, an instate battle (or neighboring state), location proximity, things like that. And just me personally but I think those games should be played at the end of the year.</p>
Hell if Ole Miss and LSU want to be rivals let them do it, it'll take their mind off our game the next week. You see I'm not one who analyze wins and losses and woulda shoulda coulda - if Ole Miss is down when they play us and we win, who gives a **** we kicked their ***. LSU probably thinks less of them than Ole Miss does to them, but oh well that's just due to success and Ole Miss's failures. Swap the roles and the views will likely also be reversed.</p>
They do have pretty contrasting colors and cultures, albeit mostly stereotyped. I appreciate all college football tradition and I enjoy watching this game. To me the Egg Bowl is almost like the contrasting lifestyles within Mississippi, just different. More about neighbors and such.</p>

It's 74-36-5 in favor of UT. I'm pretty sure Texas considers A&M to be a huge rival. Hell, they have a sizeable advantage against Oklahoma too (59-40-5).
while he may be right about the ignorant racists at UM, I can promise you there are just as many racist coonasses waving purple and gold confederate flags at LSU. Also, being that my hometown is very close to BR and I actually attended LSU for a year, I can tell you through extensive experience with the coons that most of them consider Ole Miss a big rival. I know alot of MSU fans hate to acknowledge it, (which is kind of pathetic), but it's true.</p>

So then the argument that Ole Miss whipped ya'lls *** regardless of whether the players quit or not is NO EXCUSS. Ole Miss just whipped ya'lls lazy *** up and down the field and came away knowing MSUX was a sucky team that should have never played a down of football in the year 2008 anyway.
Look, I actually like MSU........but it just peeves me the way state fans think....making up excuses that the players didn't care or that they just gave up. Football players don't just give up. They may feel defeated that the team is not playing as well as it should, but each individual player did not just give up.
If ya'll kill us 50 to 0, then so be it. That is why they play the game.

My post was taking up for Ole Miss. Not sure where you got all the psychobabble about the way State fans think. I agreed with you, why did you get upset? Wife leave you for a State guy?
I love bashing Ole Miss as much as anyone else, but there was nothing in that link that resembled good journalism. And the LSU paper is usually pretty good.

Credit goes to WPman1 for the links.
The student body of each school started discussing the idea of an official rivalry game about a year ago. The two student bodies held a "Name that Rivalry" campaign for students to provide input on the name via text messaging. The Ole Miss and LSU student governments then voted in their respective Student Senates to name the rivalry the "Magnolia Bowl." The two student bodies have since worked together to create a "Magnolia Bowl" trophy and logo.

instead of just talking out of their rectal cavity. Good job, olemissbydamn! I tip my non-houndstooth hat to you. I don't understand why you Snarkvillians all harbor such seething hatred for Ole Miss, especially when there's a much better object for your hatred a scant 80 miles away.
is all that can remotely be considered legitimate. That's the only one of the three that yall claim that is recognized by the Football Writers Association of America, which is a part of the NCAA's "consensus" champion determination. From the NCAA's Official Record Books:
1960- Minnesota, under Murray Warmath, led in both polls before the bowl games but was upset by Washington, 17-7, in the Rose Bowl. That prompted the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) to conduct a post-bowl poll that named Johnny Vaught's Mississippi Rebels as champion. Minnesota remained the official winner in both AP and UPI polls.
There is no mention of Ole Miss under 1959 or 1962. But hey, one is better than none.
Edited to add: Also, if you look at the list of champions on your link (which is on NCAA.org but is not their "official" list) you'll find Alabama listed under 1941. And that, by rule of this message board, instantly discredits anything else listed on that page, or in your post.

I'm sure the teams and fanbases don't like each other, but anyone who claims that is the best rivalry in college football is stupid. You can't have a true rivalry with the "familiarity breeds contempt" idea. If you are a Michigan fan in Detroit, how many OSU fans do you see in a day. or an OSU fan in Cleveland? I live in Starkville and see Ole Miss fans every day, and I know it's worse in Jackson or Memphis. There's no way those two fanbases hate each other the way we and Ole Miss do, or Alabama and Auburn, or even Ole Miss and LSU. You just get upset seeing the bumper sticker or shirt somewhere. You can't build that kind of rivalry when you only see the enemy once a year.
20 games. That's pretty close. LSU dominated the 1970s and had a 6 year streak snapped last year. The main difference in LSU's 55 wins came in a long streak previous to WWII. I do think Rebel fans and players see this as a bigger rivalry than LSU players and fans overall, but it's a rivalry. I've been to many LSU-UM games and it's a rivalry.
