I don’t know about y’all but I feel the same way towards our Rivals as I did in 1987 or 1997 or 2007.

But I think I’ve detected a measurable cause for this rivalry being “toxic” and “unhealthy”. I recall it got “toxic” under Sherrill. Of course, it’s described as such again.

The diagnosis, it seems, is State being a 15+ favorite in the Egg Bowl is what causes the rivalry to become “unhealthy” and “toxic”.

Maybe, this is more evidence that they’re fanbase is nothing but petulant school girls.

It only gets toxic when it seems State has the upper hand. The rebs can’t handle our success and lash out.

And after Sherrill won the West, their boosters CULLUDED in hiring private investigators to follow our staff around and funnel information to a ROGUE NCAA investigator. This is documented fact; not Spirit message board conspiracy.
I agree that it gets toxic. Because they can’t handle losing and lose their minds.

It wasn't very toxic with Felker or Croom. Wonder why.

Honestly, we haven’t seen a level of toxic yet that compares to what’s coming. If we beat their *** like I think we will (making it 2 years in a row) and they get their sanctions given to them next week on top of it......... toxic is gonna be a whole other level like we’ve never seen. For a long time.
