Dear Student Body,
The Ole Miss and LSU student governments have partnered together to
sponsor a campaign entitled Name That Rivalry that truly emphasizes the
established rivalry between our schools. In this campaign, we will
create a name for the Ole Miss vs. LSU game, and we will also create a trophy
for the winners of the game. With naming the game, the first step involved
the Senates of Ole Miss and LSU collaboratively selecting 5 potential names
for the game.
Now, it is your turn. The Ole Miss ASB is requesting that each member
of the student body place their input into selecting the name. To vote, go
to http://www.olemiss.edu/asbvote. Sign into myOleMiss and then click on
the link to take the survey. You can vote on one of the 5 potential names
that were selected:
Duel for the Delta
Magnolia Bowl
Magnolia Classic
The Duel Under the Oaks
The Battle for the Golden Magnolia
If you do not like these names, you can make your own suggestion in the
"Other" box. You can vote as many times as you wish. The last day to
vote will be next Monday. Don't miss out on your opportunity to make
history as you get to name a new tradition.
Sincerely,
Artair Rogers and Matt Hopper
ASB Co-Directors of Student Involvement

The Shitass vs. Coonass Bowl
The Cocaine N Whiskey Bowl my personal fav The 2003 SEC West Champions Bowl Since they both seem to claim the title even though LSU beat them |

LSU/OM is more more like an abusive relationship than a rivalry. They meet up every now and then, get as <17>-ed up as possible, and before the night is
over LSU beats the crap out of OM.
How about the "Thank you sir, may I have another" Bowl. Oh wait, I think we were going to use that for our Arkansas game. |

If true - This shows how desparate they have become. | #8 | ||
|
Ole Miss defines the idea that if you tell yourself a lie long enough it eventually becomes true. They "pretend" to have a sports history, they
"pretend" that their athletic facilities are something special, the "pretend" that MSU is inferior, etc...

Actually, this idea originated I believe with the LSU student newspaper. So it's not coming from our end. LSU doesn't have a true rivalry game, so they
have been searching for rivalries. They have a fabricated rivalry with Arkansas, and they hate Alabama and Auburn (much in the same way State and OM hate Bama
and Auburn), but none of those games are true rivalry games.
Either way, it's a stupid idea, and the names they have for the rivalry aren't any good. |

Why do so many MSU fans happily play humble servant to OM? I've never been able to figure this out, but its so true. The only explanation I can come up with is that the older ole miss crowd derives its pride from past football success. The older MSU crowd was lucky if State won 6 games in their 4 years. |

There was an article a few weeks ago (this whole thread is seriously Germanic) about the LSU student government contacting the Reb student government about
doing it...don't remember where I saw it linked...nafoom, maybe?
Not that UM folks aren't deluded about the whole "rival" thing...but this one isn't on them. LSU in this day and age just doesn't have that "hate" thing going on with anybody...doesn't really work with Arky...Bama sort of...Auburn sort of. Hell, maybe they should shut up and be happy they don't have the one true rival thing...doesn't seem to hurt the chances at winning NCs. Edited to add: Damn, now I'm a little creeped out that I essentially posted the same thing as Bruiser.

This is not "pretend" | #13 | ||
|
I went to LSU for undergrad and Ole Miss for grad school. I grew up in Oxford with family in Louisiana.
THIS RIVALRY IS NOT SOME RECENTLY CRAFTED INVENTION! The effort to do this is a joint effort by both student governments. You think if there weren't a shit ton of history here that LSU would choose to do this with a school whose got 15 football wins in the last 4 years? I'm all about poking the seemingly dead corpse of Ole Miss football with a stick to see if it still has a pulse, but get your head out of your ass. Nobody is saying that Ole Miss's biggest rival is LSU. But to act as if the football series between LSU and Ole Miss is not one rich with tradition and a circled game on the schedule for the fanbase is wrong. |

Why do so many MSU fans happily play humble servant to OM?I have never noticed that. The only thing that Ole Miss has going for it is the friggin' square in Oxford, and it's a damn cool place. Having all those bars right there close is sweet. But nothing else up there is better than what State has. And the Main Street deal and Cotton District is giving Starkville a unique feel too. Not to mention the development going on around town in general. Many Ole Miss people, even grown ass men, have the mistaken mindset that Ole Miss is better. That sort of thing is a character flaw in my book. Me, personally, I'd rather beat Auburn any day before Ole Miss, partly because I live here. I guess we could just start telling ourselves that we have a rivalry with Alabama and start believing it? It's true in basketball, anyway. But yes, it shows desperation. Especially on the part of people like Vampireb.

And when will you be throwing your $50 into the nafoom pot? Will you wait until your season is over? Or will you wait until the end of the CWS?

Good stuff... | #20 | ||

I'm partial to the "Our Annual Asswhipping Bowl," however, State may have already cornered the market on this one. Corndogs and Candelabra's
has a nice ring to it..
I've made a huge mistake.

The Bourbon Bowl actually makes more sense than any of the other names on that list.
