Real rivalry is built upon on-field beat downs and nail-biters and the general ebb and flow of decades of competition. Trolling is somewhat humorous but after a while wears thin. As a longtime Mizzou fan I watched an always hot rivalry with Kansas descend into something ugly. It reached a point of no return long before Mizzou bolted for the SEC. I'm glad it's over and hope it's never rekindled.
It's over when you arrive at a mindset that devalues any accomplishment your rival achieves. For a rivalry to be meaningful there should at least be mutual respect.

Shouldn't you be outside trying to prevent others from burning your neighborhood down right about now?

Is this your way of explaining why nobody in the SEC is willing to be your rival?

Well said, but Kansas isn't a bunch of cheaters like AU.

When you mention rivalry with Kansas, I'm assuming you're more interested in basketball.
With that, does it make the rivalry worse, or better, by playing twice, possibly 3 times, a year, instead of just once in football?

I actually agree with this. For example, Harvey Updyke had so much respect for Auburn's plains that he cleared the trees off before it became a jungle.
