As readers of The Daily Reveille surely know, the Ole Miss Rebels swept the LSU baseball team last weekend.The debacle capped a forgettable year for Tiger athletic teams against their foes from the Magnolia State. The Rebels have dominated LSU in athletics since November 2009, including a last-second (literally) win in football, a four-game sweep in men’s and women’s basketball and of course the recent baseball sweep.To make this indignation even worse, our friends in Oxford saw fit to remind us with a column on the Web site of the student newspaper, The Daily Mississippian.”After being ridiculed all preseason long, regardless of the sport, about inferior facilities, talent and coaches, Ole Miss fans are able to enjoy any moment when they can say they are better than LSU,” the column said.An Ole Miss alumnus piled on an advertisement in the newspaper trumpeting “The year the Rebels yelled and the Tigers whimpered,” which added men’s and women’s tennis and men’s golf to the aforementioned Mississippi mastery during the past year.”Thank you Rebel coaches and players for making this a banner year for Rebel fans who view LSU as our biggest rival,” the ad proclaimed.The “Hotty Toddy” hollerin’ harlequin behind the ad declined to comment for this piece, but we at The Daily Reveille have comments for him and all of his ilk.We, as students of LSU, have little time for this “rivalry.”Sure, it’s true the baseball team is slumping, the basketball teams’ seasons left a bad taste in the mouth and football has fallen far from our lofty (and perhaps unreasonable) standards.    That said, we at LSU measure our athletic success in championships. The football team boasts three consensus national championships, 10 Southeastern Conference titles, a Heisman trophy winner and the best tailgate experience in college football — that’s right, better than The Grove.We aren’t impressed by a tree-riddled lot on your campus. We tailgate whenever and wherever we please.LSU basketball, while not as accomplished as its gridiron counterpart, posts quite a resume of its own. The Tigers have 10 SEC titles, have been to 20 NCAA tournaments and have reached four Final Fours. Pete Maravich and Shaquille O’Neal called Baton Rouge home. The Lady Tigers made five consecutive Final Fours and have been one of the premier women’s programs in America.Baseball speaks for itself. The Tigers have ruled the diamond for the better part of two decades with 14 SEC titles, 15 total College World Series appearances and six national championships.The reason we bring up all this winning history is because it’s exactly what Ole Miss does not have.The Rebels have never won a College World Series — their last appearance came in 1972. They have also yet to even reach a Final Four or a BCS bowl game. They have no Heisman or Naismith winners to worship — only a supreme debt of gratitude to the Manning family for most of their athletic success.Since the SEC split into two divisions in the early ’90s, Ole Miss is the only program from the SEC West to never make the exhilarating trip to Atlanta for the SEC championship game.That’s right, Rebs — even those cowbell-clangin’ Mississippi State fans you scorn so much have managed that feat at least once.It’s true we also aren’t quite sure whom our true rival is, but Tiger fans tend to focus our acrimony on places like Alabama, Auburn and Florida — schools that make noise on a national level, contend for championships and challenge us to be better in all athletic endeavors.We simply don’t have time in our busy agenda for a program and a fan base that hasn’t won a football championship of any kind since the Kennedy administration — and no, that SEC West Co-Champions banner from 2003 you have hanging in your football stadium doesn’t count, seeing as how LSU won in Oxford, won the SEC and went on to win the national championship that season. Nice effort though.If anything, the main motivation for beating Ole Miss is to avoid hearing “Hotty Toddy” from a plethora of overly excited Rebel fans.So, to wrap up this verbose retort, congratulations on your sweep and your moment in the sun, Rebels. The frustration of being bested so thoroughly this semester has given us a terrifying glimpse into your world.We hope to see you in Omaha this summer for the College World Series, though we won’t hold our breath, given your well-documented struggles getting there. We also eagerly anticipate your arrival in Baton Rouge on Nov. 20 for our annual football tilt, considering we owe you two in that department.Until then, and forever after that, Geaux to Hell, Ole Miss.—-Contact the Editorial Board [email protected]
