Visited a site who shall remain nameless, and came across this gem as to why the MSU/UM rivalry has gone to far...to the breaking point.
"When MSSt started having success on the field while we floundered, we doubled down on the OM air of superiority, pointing out how Oxford (the Grove, Ole Miss, attractive women, etc) were nationally acclaimed destinations, while Starkville was a last in class ****hole, that was an embarrassment to the SEC. Then the product on the filed got better. They had NOTHING to make them think they were equals. The Gameday, Bama beat down and Katy Perry luv fest followed by us mocking their GameDay slobberin' AFLAC cow and drunken bum Papelbon guest picker was the breaking point for them."
I will agree with one thing; I never thought we were their equals, not by a long shot.
