 * Comment. I would think that for a rivalry to be notable, there should be sources which specifically discuss the two teams as having a rivalry. I didn't check all the cited sources, but of the sources I checked, none of them specifically mentioned a rivalry. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:41, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:V. Just because two teams are in the same conference and therefore play each other annually does not make them "rivals". Nothing presented suggested that they are, indeed, "rivals". – Muboshgu (talk) 17:29, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete not an actual rivalry. SportingFlyer  T · C  17:34, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence that this is a real rivalry. Trillfendi (talk) 20:59, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:V. There are no reliable sources that actually mention a 'rivalry.' Taewangkorea (talk) 22:28, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per others. Does not meet GNG since no source even mentions the topic of the article. Think it is snowing here.  J947 's public account 23:28, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete topcic not supported by sources. Not only fails GNG and WP:V, this is also WP:synthesis. Snows gettin' deep. Steve Quinn (talk) 05:33, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete In addition to a lack of sources that this is a rivalry, anecdotally, I graduated from UK and never once heard it called as such. - Amatheur (talk) 17:21, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. This game is a big deal to both Mississippi State and Kentucky fans and players. The games are hard-fought and memorable.Jhn31 (talk) 03:25, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
