Fair enough, and yes I am < 50. But if you have to start an argument as to why a rivalry is good with "if you were >50" well...
There is no argument. LSU and OM have hated one another for decades, far beyond the normal flow of grudging respect for conference foes. For much of the past 3 decades, it was rare for both teams to be contenders, largely due to the decline of Rebel football after the 70's, though LSU had a couple of dry spells along the line. If OM sustains several years of being a contender along with LSU, we may well see the national public ranting about the rivalry once again.

Am also under 50 and also didn't even know Ole Miss and LSU was a "rivalry". Both teams are pretty mediocre historically, so maybe that has something to do with it. There is never really anything at stake.
