As an Ole Miss fan, I am glad to see our rivalry with LSU is becoming competitive again. While the hatred has always been there on both sides, this rivalry had lost some of its luster because, well we were really bad. But the past few years the games have all been competitive and it seems the trash talking and intensity is back. To me, this is one of the great rivalries of the SEC and I am glad that it is a game that Ole Miss and LSU fans and players will be looking forward to each year. What rivalries do you want to see come back?

For me, the other 2 are UT/Bama and Miami/FSU. I used to always love watching these 2 games because the games were always heated and the teams were filled with NFL players. UT and Miami haven't held up their end of the rivalry lately, but I think both could come back and these games can be fun again. What do yall think?

Miami as a major program is pretty much over. The eggheads killed it.

I agree. yes, I hate you (or at least ole miss) but it hasn't meant much for a long time.

when I was a student at LSU, we had "hell week" where we celebrated the ole miss game the whole week. we even had panty raids at the girls dorms. we went dancing at a local hotel and it had several full wall murals of great plays in the history of that game. these plays were, of course, plays that LSU made to beat ole miss.

TSIO is prone to streakiness, it's been that way for a while.

One of the few times I've ever laughed during a football game.

I like to see these too. It's what makes college football special. UT has been down, which I have enjoyed, but when they are up there is not many better atmospheres in college football than that game. It is electric.
I watch AU and Georgia every year just simply because of how much it means to each school.
Ole-Miss and LSU has always been one I followed. When I was kid growing up in the 70's this thing was intense. Football wasn't covered like today but I could sometimes pick that game up on the radio and it always came down to a last second play, similar to today. Remember names like Warren Capone, Andy Hamilton, Bobby Moreau, Bert of course, John Fourcade and Steve Burkhalter.
Iron Bowl goes without saying and looks like UGA and Tech is starting to build up some attention nationwide as Johnson has been a bit of a problem for the Bulldogs. Egg Bowl, underrated rivalry in America as well.

That knee was unintentionally 10x more insulting than running up the score.

LSU fans tend to forget that the reason Miles chose to take a knee was because Nutt had Sneed take a knee at the lsu 2 yard line 2 years before when we had the game won and he didn't want to run it up after the game was decided.

I'm also glad the Ole Miss rivalry with LSU has been rekindled, because it's taken Arkansas off the mind of LSU fans a little.

Game winning field goal at home vs getting kneeled on at home preventing a 50+ victory.

LOLMiss.

There are three UM grads that I know in real life and all three loathe Hurricane football and have advocated shutting down the program since the mid-90s at least. Three is obviously a small sample size but according to them its a widespread feeling. Miami is kind of unique in that respect. Virtually all Hurricane fans are sidewalkers, alumnai would shut down the program if they could.

I kinda get it, Miami got a reputation that its football success was built on thugs and convicts and they no longer wanted the association once the big cheating scandal hit.

Does kinda drive me nuts that they want to throw away a legacy that us Aggies would basically sell our firstborns into Fedex slavery to get.
