My personal opinion, not shared by everyone, is that I'd rather beat them than you guys. So in my mind, they're our true rival. But I've lived amongst them most of my life ... not necessarily a pleasant thing when they're so good year after year. I have a feeling that we're not their rival though ... so far beneath them in their minds that we're almost totally insignificant. There are many here, in a town less than 200 miles from Starkville, who don't know the difference in MSU and Ole Miss. I've had several ask me, upon me telling them I went to MSU ... "Is that Ole Miss?" And it was a serious question.<div>
</div><div>I view the rivalry with Ole Miss mostly as fun (there are nuts on both sides, of course) but the arrogance of almost every Alabama fan, from lawyer and engineer to toothless redneck in a trailer with an exposed fat belly, really gets old.
