Dear fellow members of the SEC,
Last Saturday the television announcers stated that Mississippi State now considers Alabama to be its major rival. In recent years similar statements have been made regarding Ole Miss, Arkansas and LSU as well.
We would like to thank you for your interest, but regret to inform you that we are not accepting any new major rivals at this time. As you are aware, we have our annual clash with Tennessee followed by the Iron Bowl against our agricultural step-sister across the state... games that require significant focus and concentration from our loyal fan base. With SEC Championship and National Title hopes also in our future, certainly you can understand how this leaves very little time for new projects.
Thank you again for your interest in our program. While we appreciate your desire to remain (or in some cases become) relevant, we are simply unable to accomodate you at this time.
Sincerely,
The University of Alabama

Iron Bowl against our agricultural step-sister across the state...
you must mean the university with better academics, a better athletic department, and winners of 7 of the last 9?

Parts, why do you think all these SEC teams are scheduling bye weeks before playing Bama. All of them consider themselves to be our rival and wants to beat us.
Four damn SEC west teams except Arkansas and Ole Miss have scheduled an off week before playing Bama next year. Tennessee and South Carolina from the SEC east too.
Damn our rivals sure want to beat us. And as a sign of respect, they feel it takes two weeks to get ready for us.

I can't wait until we kick your asses next year. I'll have to let the whooping that Florida puts on you in the SECCG hold me over until then.
Hell, maybe Auburn will rise up this time around. You guys' pissy attitudes wouldn't be so galling if the media weren't playing your game. Florida and Alabama do not have a lock on the SEC.
Just wait a little while.

Found this on SI, very funny.
Auburn fans asked who their biggest conference rival was.

Of the 542 respondents who identified themselves as Auburn fans, 512 identified Alabama as the Tigers' biggest conference rival. The other 30 should be deported to Georgia.

Living in Alabama for years I have always thought it was odd how my fellow LSU fans consider Bama a rival when I know for a fact Bama has never really considered us a rival really.
Tenn & Auburn were always the rival games for Bama. 3rd Sat in Oct and the Iron Bowl.
Sure the LSU game is a big SEC game but thats it as far as Bama has awlays been concerned.
Dont me get wrong. I cant stand Bama but facts are facts. We have never been a rival for Bama.
