If you interacted with older OM fans you wouldn’t be so shocked. On any given game day you’ll still hear go to hell LSU. We’ve just sucked for so long that it’s lost it’s flavor to the younger crowd plus State under Mullen ramped up the rhetoric to all time hate levels. We also stopped playing in October when we traditionally played for reasons. If we are ever good again consistently we would be LSU’s top pick too.

Lakers-Celtics hasn't been a thing for what...40 years?
It was based on fan responses, and the Lakers and Celtics have played in the NBA Finals twice in the last 11 years.

Gotcha
I knew it was a Rivalry
Just thought Miss State would get over 50 points for sure
But you learn something new everyday

Maybe it's one of those older/younger fan things.

I’m more curious about where the other points went
Arkansas maybe?

So basically every school in the SEC is a rival with every other school - just to varying degrees?

You could say that

Not trying to make a case for Minnesota/Wisconsin to be included in this article, but it is a little-known / underrated rivalry on a national-scale. The two are rivals in athletics, but everything extends off the field because of the sharp cultural similarities:
1. Tuition reciprocity allows for HS students in each state to attend Minnesota and Wisconsin at the cost of an in-state student. Kids, naturally, want to get away and this one way of doing so. For as many kids within each state going to their flagship university, many of their peers will cross state lines for university.
2. Folks from each state find work in the other state after college in the major metropolitan areas (i.e. Minneapolis / St. Paul, Madison, Milwaukee).
3. Both states have strong German and Scandinavian roots.
4. Both states are similar in culture (i.e. recreation in the North Woods, access to 10,000+ lakes, etc.).
5. The two states border each other, almost entirely, north/south. Plenty of crossover with residents working in the other (i.e. commuting from Hudson to MSP, Winona <-> La Crosse, etc).
6. Minnesota and Wisconsin sports, not including CFB, are more-closely tied when you consider strong college hockey traditions (both men and women) and Packers/Vikings.
In all, the rivalry between the two schools is about as natural as it gets.

The best rivalries are the ones between a traditionally decent team and a traditionally mediocre team possibly flipping back and forth. There’s just a little more desperation in the mix that way. A slight difference in quality of programs is definitely optimal but you don’t want the disparity to get too wide. I just think rivalries lose a bit when they go from regional to national.

That rivalry got an aggregate of 96

It’s not Among the top ten in aggregate but it’s a higher score
Here’s the site

On average Wisconsin fans gave Ohio State 20, Iowa 16 and Mich State 8

That all might be true but then why is it Gopher fans chant "Who hates Iowa? We hate Iowa!" at every single sporting event, concerts, graduation ceremony, etc. Football, basketball, hockey...Iowa doesn't even have hockey yet Gopher fans hate us so much the chant persists.
The Big Ten West is what we Iowa fans call the "Quadrangle of Hate". Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern. Iowa is caught in the middle and the hate flows in all directions.
