The Ole Miss and Mississippi State rivalry is one of its own. The hatred that builds up between the two schools is inevitable. You are either born wearing red and blue or maroon and white. They will never mingle.
We at Ole Hotty Toddy have put together a list of 101 reasons why Ole Miss fans hate Mississippi State. Some of these are facts, some of them are not. All of them are in the intent of a joke for Ole Miss fans to have a good laugh. In no way are we intentionally insulting direct people, Mississippi State University, or the town of Starkville.
Hope you enjoy!
