I don't know...it was not like Tubberville became any less of a douche while he was at Ole Miss.
The only thing LSU likes about Ole Miss are the girls in the Grove anyway...and Tubberville ain't one of them.

Beat us in Tiger Stadium in 1997 the week after we had just beaten #1 Florida, jumped into the top ten and become the favorite to win the SEC West. It was supposed to be our watershed moment, the game that stamped us as a legitimate contender both in the SEC and nationally. But it all came crashing down the next week when Tuberville used a little-known QB named Stewart Patridge to shred the LSU defense in a 36-21 upset. The '97 team was never the same after that game, and of the course the total collapse of the DiNardo regime occurred over the next two years, helped by another loss to Ole Miss in Oxford in '98, in OT after we made a 3-TD comeback in the 4th quarter.
In all honesty, I think it was those two games, but mainly the '97 one, that made LSU fans hate Tuberville. The rest was all justification, not cause. LSU fans (some, not all) already hated him before he even went to Auburn, and going there, then beating us in his first game while there, only made it worse.
