Okay, so I’ve heard that people from Texas dislike people from Oklahoma and people from Oklahoma feel likewise. Can the OT baws from both states explain why this rivalry exists? When did it start? What are some of the causes of this?

Are there any examples of neighboring states loving the shite out of each other?

One Texas Aggie joke is a place to start:

The Texas Aggie moved from Texas to Oklahoma and raised the IQ of both states.

Aggie joke
An Aggie traveling to a new job didn't show up on the first day. His supervisor called and asked what happened. The Aggie replied, "I'm stuck in my motel room. There are only 3 doors in here: one is the closet, another is the bathroom, and the last one has a sign on it that says DO NOT DISTURB".

Pretty much everyone around here that was raised in Oklahoma claims to hate everything about Texas, except the Cowboys. They're all Cowboy fans.

I'm not from here so I don't care. I just don't want them buying anymore property here in Oklahoma. Stay on your side of the Red.

This is why we’re a republic and not a democracy, and why State’s rights are so important.

Speak for yourself. The huge out migration says otherwise.

Texas is full of obnoxious assholes and anyone who lives in a nearby state gets tired of dealing with them.

In the movie Stalag 17, about American airmen in a German POW camp, there's a scene where they're all standing around listening to the morning announcements by the ranking POW. "All men from Texas are to meet by the water tank at 1100 hours" to a chorus of boos by everyone else.

Some won't agree but it has to be a sports thing. I promise you, no one in NETx spends a second thinking about an Okie unless you're playing them. Texans spend ungodly amounts of money in OK from the casinos to Beavers Bend. Arkansans as well.
