Who is Ole Miss's different and better rival?

The may not be better, but the hatred between Ole Miss and Miss State runs deep and its nasty.

Miss St vs Ole Miss seemed to me to be more of a "natural" rivalry than LSU - Ole MIss, but I should have said "most opponents", my bad.... but at the same time, I didn't know LSU claimed Ole mIss as their biggest rival, they seem to talk more about the bama, florida, texasam, ark, games, etc.... point is should just be one, for all.

I think we dislike and/or want to beat several instate schools all about the same. I still consider Tech and Tulane the two instate schools I want to play and beat. ULM gets the distinction of being a conference opponent and we're forced to play them. If we were not in the same conference, they wouldn't be on our radar at all. As far as a conference opponent I think we see as a good challenger and that most educated athletic fans want to play and beat - as a barometer of our status in the Belt - Ark State.

I do hope to someday have a short consensus answer to the "who is our rival" question. If that devolved into ULM... we have failed.

Middle Tennessee was UL's best rival till they broke the "We're Not Ready" pinky pledge.

I never hated MT. You could say they were our closest friend of the initial SBC lineup.

I hated WKY. They were a real rival in basketball.

Back then, we really had no football rival. Today, that is stAte. Definitely lots of bad blood back and forth here.

Still, nothing compares to the rivalry we will have with Tech once we play every year again.

LSU vs Ole Miss has always been the big rivalry for both teams. Much more history of both being good teams playing at the end of the season than Ole Miss vs Miss State.

Remember, Billy Cannon's punt return was against Ole Miss.

thanks I didn't know... but that is LSU's view, the answer would be how is it viewed by Ole Miss? Same with our situation..... if we declare Ark st who might they see as an alternative? I don't think s.alabama has anyone else nor does ULM (but I would like to get away from it being ULM for other reasons esp name) .....a rivalry has to be a two way street. LSU could claim Florida is their rival all day long, (just like they claimed fisher wanted to go to b.rouge).....but Florida will never care more about LSU than the world's largest cocktail party or gators-noles

Exactly which one is the UL football program's biggest rival these days — ULM or Arkansas State?

Full disclosure, I went into this little project with my mind made up that the answer was Arkansas State ... and my opinion hasn't changed.

But as you peel back layer after layer, it becomes very obvious that the question is an even better one than I realized.

i guess that would be exception to only having one, maybe have two... one you hate (maybe ULM or La Tech) and then have one that is simply competitive and fun competition (maybe ark st - if this episode that happened this yr fizzles??)

As a long time fan, the team in conference that is the biggest rival across the board in all sports is South Alabama. stAte is the biggest in conference in football, but overall, it is USA. The biggest rival, though, is tech; you know, the school in rust-on that we hate so much that we would all rush up to S. Arkansas with wieners and marshmallows if the place was on fire.

This is how I feel as well
