The Ole Miss-Mississippi State rivalry is a little different compared to other SEC rivalries in that the schools are often confused for each other by media and merchandisers alike.
A Wal-Mart store in Batesville, Miss., doesn’t seem to have that problem, as evidenced by selling these team koozies at different prices.
The photo comes from Ole Miss alum Alex Beene, who says his cousin sent him the photo Wednesday.
Batesville is about 25 miles west of Oxford in a region dominated by Ole Miss fans. The markdown on the Mississippi State koozie likely has more to do with sales (or lack thereof) than any perceived slight toward the Bulldogs or an arbitrary determination of what a logo on a piece of foam is worth.
