when State accomplishes something and fans talk about that then mention Ole Miss
Ole Miss fans do the same thing.
LSU fans do the same thing w/ Bama and A&M (with about 10x the intensity of any other "rivalry").
Bama fans do the same thing w/ LSU and Auburn.
Clemson fans do the same thing w/ South Car.
It's part of college sports, and it's one of the reasons college football is better than NFL. If it upsets you, then you should switch to NFL.
Think about it this way: MSU and Ole Miss are likely never going to get in the playoffs or even win their own division. If they do, it will likely be a one season-in-decades type thing. This reality is true for an overwhelming majority of college football teams in the country.
However, Mississippi State and Ole Miss will always have each other. An 8-win season will never look good compared to what Alabama achieves every season, but if your rival hasn't achieved that in years, it makes that season pretty sweet. Conversely, the bitterness of a losing season can be mitigated with a win over your rival in the most exciting game of the season.
If you don't see the point in these rivalries, then college football honestly isn't for you. You'd be much better off picking a good NFL team and watching that.
Most people cheer for Mississippi State or Ole Miss because they went to that school or had family that did.

Have y'all ever considered putting aside your hate and merging to form one university system? A single AD for MS would be a national power in pretty much every sport

It’s hard to take you people seriously when you cling to farm equipment so religiously

I went to school there. I was born and raised in Mississippi. I still don't see the point of mentioning a rival when an accomplishment is made. Until this changes then my consensus will be that many State fans are obsessed with Ole Miss and can't succeed in anything with mentioning their rival. It will never make sense to me why. Again, I am all for trash talking but not in that type of situation.
