Tut, it is hard for LSU fans to understand an in-state rivalry because LSU doesn't have one. Actually, LSU doesn't have a true border rivalry either, though Ole Miss approximates one, and after A&M wins a few, they will be one.
The essence of an in-state rivalry is that it is never ending. It exists 365-24/7. Everytime some ole Miss lawyer makes a cow-college disparaging joke, or a cow-beller makes a reference to silver spoons in someone's private parts, it is reinforced. Try to picture the way many LSU fans view Alabama, cursing them day and night (an obsession Alabama fans don't return - despite what you believe - they have Auburn and Tennessee), then square that feeling and you might get close.
And generally, all the in-state rivalries take the same form... gentry vs the low-class farmers. Texas/A&M, Ala/barn, Mich/MichStae, OleMiss/State, OK/OkyState, etc., all do this.
It is a shame the Tulane turned its back on big time football in the 1950s. I still enjoy Tulane/LSU baseball however because there is not a lot of love and respect that gets shown...

I actually am a ole miss grad and have several degrees from there and even played football for them one spring. My dad was a booster/bagman and Archie manning actually used to play around with me and my friends when I was little as we lived next to them in student housing when I was small. The ole miss assistant coaches used to stay at my house when they recruited the coast. But I also lived for a decade in Baton Rouge my brother, brother n law, grandfather and probably 20-30 cousins nephews uncles etc all played at LSU.
When my dad was a booster and Jackie sherill was at state things were bad but no one would rat anyone out. And my Dad hated Jackie for using all that racist shite against ole miss. Believe it or not most of the ole miss and state booster knew each other and were friendly rivals.
Maybe just me but I never hated state or considered them a rival. They are just the argicultral engineering school down the road.
They are no threat to ole miss. Ole Miss has and always will run the state of Mississippi, much more than LSU runs Louisiana or even the machine runs Bama.
