This does not appear to be a notable rivalry. Cited sources do not establish it as a rivalry, and a cursory search doesn't turn up much either. Jweiss11 (talk) 16:46, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. They have played 44 times in the past 76 years, but this has been a one-sided affair with Southern Miss winning only five games on the field and only twice in the last 40 years (1993 was a forfeit). Not finding SIGCOV or other indicators of a rivalry or historically notable series. Cbl62 (talk) 18:33, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per nom and Cbl62's comment. I don't see this as an established rivalry. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:48, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This was a main stay rivalry down here during the 90's and early 2000's. Jeff Bower made sure his Eagles were always ready to play Alabama and the same goes for Alabama. For someone that did the research for a week and made sure everything was fact checked and sources provided, this is so wrong of you all to do this. You know nothing about Alabama or Southern Miss football and have no right to delete anything on that page. BTW to CBL62, if you look at the Ole miss, Alabama rilvarly it is also mostly one sided as well... but let's not look at the facts. Slickrick53 (talk) 16:40, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete agreed, not a notable rivalry; at least not for the level of notability that we require here. Lots of games played, an enthusiastic editor may wish to try another wiki such as an online sports almanac.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:16, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Cbl62's assessment. Frank Anchor 03:19, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
