We've been in the same conference on and off since the 1930s and played each other every year from the mid '40s to early '70s. It was during that run that one of Tech's coaches originated the "Rivalry in Dixie" name.

The series went cold for a while, and it's a bigger deal to them than it is to us, but our side of things will heat up if and when they beat us a few times.

Again here, people complain that we don't have rivals and the conference is too spread out with too many schools with no history, but give them a division game with a school with a history paralleling ours in a neighboring state whom we've played 44 times, and all they can say is, "I don't get it."
