Lot of folks on this board have apparently never witnessed Bama & Auburn fans going at it. Understandable though, and I'm sure other rival sets are brutal as well, but those two fan bases would probably be okay with a meteor hitting the opposing team's stadium/college to some extent.

No, I have a lot of AU friends and neighbors and while we do go at each other a lot, it is just not the same as the raw hate I have for Tennessee.
But I'm probably an older fan than most (by rant standards)

Some quick notes from the SC/Clemson rivalry:
Nothing is too long to read if you have the time.
quote:
World War II produced one of the most bizarre situations in the history of the rivalry. Cary Cox, a football player of the victorious Clemson squad in 1942, signed up for the V-12 program in 1943 and was placed at USC. The naval instructors at USC ordered him to play on the football team and he was named the captain for the Big Thursday game against Clemson. Cox was reluctant to play against his former teammates and he voiced his concerns to coach Lt. James P. Moran who responded, "Cox, I can't promise you'll get a Navy commission if you play Thursday, but I can damn well promise that you won't get one if you don't play!"[57] Cox then went out and led the Carolina team to a 33-6 win against Clemson. He returned to Clemson after the war and captained the 1947 team in a losing effort to Carolina, but Cox earned his place in history as the only player to captain both schools' football teams.
quote:
The 1946 game could be the most chaotic in the football series. Two New York mobsters printed counterfeit tickets for the game. Fans from both sides were denied entrance when the duplicate tickets were discovered, which led to a near riot. To add to the wild scene, a Clemson fan strangled a live chicken at midfield during halftime. Fans from both sides of the rivalry, many of whom who had been denied entrance, along with fans who poured out of the stands, stormed the fences and gates and spilled onto the field. It took U.S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, who attended the game along with Strom Thurmond, to settle down the hostile crowd. Once order was restored, fans were allowed to stand along the sidelines, with the teams, while the second half was played to the game's conclusion. The Gamecocks eventually won by a score of 26-14.
quote:
The Southern Conference almost brought the longstanding rivalry to an abrupt end when it ordered Clemson to play no other league team other than Maryland as punishment for both schools accepting bowl bids against conference rules (both Clemson and USC were members at the time). Upon request of both schools' presidents, the S.C. General Assembly passed a resolution on February 27, 1952, ordering the game to be played.[59] The Gamecocks won the contest 6-0. The S.C. law still stands in the books today requiring both teams to play each other every year.
quote:
In 1961, the USC fraternity Sigma Nu pulled what some have called the greatest prank in the rivalry's history. A few minutes before Clemson football players entered the field for pre-game warm ups, a group of Sigma Nu fraternity members ran onto the field, jumping up and down and cheering in football uniforms that resembled the ones worn by the Tigers. This caused the Clemson band to start playing "Tiger Rag," which was followed by the pranksters falling down as they attempted to do calisthenics. They would also do football drills where guys would drop passes and miss the ball when trying to kick it. Clemson fans quickly realized that they had been tricked, and some of them angrily ran onto the field. However, security restored order before any blows could be exchanged. The Carolina frat boys had also acquired a sickly cow they planned to bring out during halftime to be the "Clemson Homecoming Queen", but the cow died en route to the stadium. Carolina won the game 21-14.
quote:
After an 0-5 start to begin the 1992 season (USC's first in the SEC), freshman sensation Steve Taneyhill led Carolina to four wins in his first five starts as Gamecock quarterback. With Clemson needing a win at home to become bowl-eligible, Taneyhill led his team to a 24-13 victory and famously signed his name with his finger on the Tiger Paw at midfield following a key second-half touchdown.
quote:
The South Carolina-Clemson brawl during the 2004 football game is the most recent eruption of hostilities in this rivalry. It is also the last time Lou Holtz coached, having retired shortly thereafter. Clemson won the game 29-7. Each team had won a total of six games that year and were technically bowl eligible. However, both schools elected to forfeit their postseason because of the unsportsmanlike nature of the fight.

And to expand on what I mean... I almost always pull against AU but I don't like them to lose embarrassingly. I prefer AU to beat the really bad teams and I will occasionally catch myself pulling for them against some of the nobodies and MSU type teams.
On the other hand, I hope Tennessee never wins another game and is embarrassed in every single loss until the end of time. period. the frickin end.

OM/State easily. Huge fight in 1927, then huge fight between players in 1991?
Easily overlooked due to mediocre records when playing.
State is the most generic school in the SEC other than Arkansas. Boring town, boring mascot, ugly colors, cocky coach who has done nothing. Copy OM in everything. Could go on and on.
Sorry for rambling, but I disown my kin when its egg bowl week.

1 - SCAR/taterheads
2 - Bama/Auburn

And I've watched the ESPN special on UA/AU and the bullshite HBO special on Mich/OSUe.
Child's play next to what goes on between SCAR and the taterheads every day of every year here in SC among our fans.

Everyone else not even close. Might as well be in its own category of hate.

Ole Miss was founded in 1844 and charted in 1848. It was The University of Mississippi and all of the gentry of that period went to school there. UM used to also be the AG school or Land Grant instituion, but had ZERO enrollment as the "non" gentry refused to attend. With that said, another "College" was formed called Mississippi A&M College in 1878 for all of those folks that hated the gentry. Ever since that "College" was formed on the basis of hatred for UM, the insecurities and inferiority complexes of those masses have been on the forefront of what they base their existence.
On the other hand, we Ole Miss folks just laugh at them for being the rubes they are.
