The Shitass vs. Coonass Bowl

The Cocaine N Whiskey Bowl

my personal fav
The 2003 SEC West Champions Bowl
Since they both seem to claim the title even though LSU beat them

LSU/OM is more more like an abusive relationship than a rivalry. They meet up every now and then, get as <17>-ed up as possible, and before the night is over LSU beats the crap out of OM.

How about the "Thank you sir, may I have another" Bowl. Oh wait, I think we were going to use that for our Arkansas game.

Ole Miss defines the idea that if you tell yourself a lie long enough it eventually becomes true. They "pretend" to have a sports history, they "pretend" that their athletic facilities are something special, the "pretend" that MSU is inferior, etc...

What bugs me most of all being a yankee transplant is how MSU fans buy into this garbage when the true flagship university is MSU. I moved here not knowing Ole Miss from MSU from Southern. The grades, the test scores, the cultural mix is all in MSU favor and that was what I went with. Why do so many MSU fans happily play humble servant to OM? </p>

Actually, this idea originated I believe with the LSU student newspaper. So it's not coming from our end. LSU doesn't have a true rivalry game, so they have been searching for rivalries. They have a fabricated rivalry with Arkansas, and they hate Alabama and Auburn (much in the same way State and OM hate Bama and Auburn), but none of those games are true rivalry games.

Either way, it's a stupid idea, and the names they have for the rivalry aren't any good.

I've never been able to figure this out, but its so true. The only explanation I can come up with is that the older ole miss crowd derives its pride from past football success. The older MSU crowd was lucky if State won 6 games in their 4 years.

There was an article a few weeks ago (this whole thread is seriously Germanic) about the LSU student government contacting the Reb student government about doing it...don't remember where I saw it linked...nafoom, maybe?

Not that UM folks aren't deluded about the whole "rival" thing...but this one isn't on them. LSU in this day and age just doesn't have that "hate" thing going on with anybody...doesn't really work with Arky...Bama sort of...Auburn sort of. Hell, maybe they should shut up and be happy they don't have the one true rival thing...doesn't seem to hurt the chances at winning NCs.

Edited to add: Damn, now I'm a little creeped out that I essentially posted the same thing as Bruiser.

I went to LSU for undergrad and Ole Miss for grad school. I grew up in Oxford with family in Louisiana.

THIS RIVALRY IS NOT SOME RECENTLY CRAFTED INVENTION!

The effort to do this is a joint effort by both student governments. You think if there weren't a **** ton of history here that LSU would choose to do this with a school whose got 15 football wins in the last 4 years?

I'm all about poking the seemingly dead corpse of Ole Miss football with a stick to see if it still has a pulse, but get your head out of your ***. Nobody is saying that Ole Miss's biggest rival is LSU. But to act as if the football series between LSU and Ole Miss is not one rich with tradition and a circled game on the schedule for the fanbase is wrong.

I have never noticed that.

The only thing that Ole Miss has going for it is the friggin' square in Oxford, and it's a damn cool place. Having all those bars right there close is sweet. But nothing else up there is better than what State has. And the Main Street deal and Cotton District is giving Starkville a unique feel too. Not to mention the development going on around town in general.

Many Ole Miss people, even grown *** men, have the mistaken mindset that Ole Miss is better. That sort of thing is a character flaw in my book. Me, personally, I'd rather beat Auburn any day before Ole Miss, partly because I live here. I guess we could just start telling ourselves that we have a rivalry with Alabama and start believing it? It's true in basketball, anyway.

But yes, it shows desperation. Especially on the part of people like Vampireb.

And when will you be throwing your $50 into the nafoom pot? Will you wait until your season is over? Or will you wait until the end of the CWS?

I propose that the Mississippi State Student Body initiate a dialogue with Sewanee and reinvigorate the heated rivalry between our charter Southeastern Conference institutions.

I'm partial to the "Our Annual Asswhipping Bowl," however, State may have already cornered the market on this one. Corndogs and Candelabra's has a nice ring to it..

Again, how does it show desperation? This idea was initiated at LSU. They're the ones looking to give it an official name. They were the ones to contact us about naming the thing.

I think it's gay to try to name the thing through a vote. Maybe it'll work, but for at least the next 30 years, it'll seem somewhat fabricated.

For me, I grew up hating both LSU and MSU. It is possible for a school to have multiple rivalry games. Just ask Tennessee (Alabama, Kentucky, and Vandy), Auburn (Georgia and Alabama), Alabama (Tennessee and Auburn), Florida (Georgia and Florida State), Texas (Oklahoma and Texas A&M).

The LSU-Ole Miss game has been a very competitive rivalry over the years and has a lot of tradition. It doesn't make the Ole Miss-MSU game any less of a rivalry. In fact, if you look at the overall record of the Ole Miss-LSU series, it has been pretty competitive, especially when you consider that we've played them about 20 more times in Baton Rouge than we've played them in Oxford and Jackson combined.

my only question is the names....why in the heck would they have Magnolia in the name? The Battle for Magnolia? Only one team is in the magnolia state. Seems kind of dumb. Other than that, who cares?

Just make it the battle for the Mighty Mississippi or something. At least the river divides them......or, every other year, when it is in Baton Rouge at night, it can be called the Jonestown massacre....
