re: Do you legitimately hate your rival program/school?

I think despise is the more appropriate word. I very much dislike Mississippi State and think they make our state look like a bunch of inbred retards who are really into cattle. On a personal basis, I can like a guy who went to State just as much as one who went to Ole Miss, but on average, they are simple degenerates. If I truly hated them, I'd want something bad to happen to them, and aside from their teams sucking, I have no ill will in this department.
