Thankful it was not at the egg bowl

Not a good look for a university of higher learning using football as it's brand ambassador

Goes to show how much as a society, kids look at social media and want their own video.

As timid as our Football Program is, we should plant a Peace Lily if we ever beat Ole Miss again.

If a team wants to plant their flag at their home turf, then no problem. It's their field, so they can do whatever they want.

However, if a visiting team ties to plant a flag on the home team's turf, then there's going to be a problem.

The coaches of the visiting team should know this and instruct their players not to do it.

Did all these teams watch the UM/OSU game because I’ve never seen so much flag planting on one day?

This is what Norvell seemed to be bitching at Napier about during their melee.

As confused as Hutzler is, he’d plant kudzu since it goes everywhere with no purpose and you just can’t seem to get rid of it.
You know, I just don’t see kudzu like I did growing up. As a kid that stuff was everywhere. I know a couple of ravines that are still overgrown with it but outside of that I’d be hard pressed to show you what kudzu is. Another thing is cockelburrs, growing up every fence row was covered with them and now I don’t think I could even take you to one.

So what exactly happens when the visiting team wins and carries a flag to the center of the field? Does that stadium now become property of the visiting school? Does the home school cease to exist and become a satellite campus for the winning team? Does the losing team and coaches get sacrificed to the sports gods?

None of that happens so it means NOTHING. You should not have lost the game. Congratulate them and let them celebrate.

No, when they plant the flag, a portion of that fanbase is converted. See all the kiffin and dart fangirls we have posting here now, that's the sowing from last year's win.

TLDR summary: Kudzu growth was always overhyped & a bug that kills it has made its way into the South.

So, I assume you are ok with bat flips and trash talking around the base paths.

However, not in favor of the next batter getting beaned in retaliation??

For those with short memories, the great State of Mississippi was recently a national embarassment with fighting at Memphis and several Egg Bowls of the recent past. Since ESPN moved us from the Day of Thanks [TM], we stand in solidarity boycotting any scuffles and kerfuffles, until we are allowed to play once more on Thanksgiving Day, so that we can freely hate and embarass our families on once more.

Glad that it was not us this time.

And quicksand. Not near the problem I was taught it would be. And ring around the collar has been solved evidently.

Every road win should end with the winners planting a flag. It would be a cool college football tradition, making home losses even more brutal. (Or maybe less if the fanbase is used to it.)

Imagine Zach Arnett and Mike Wright planting the flag at Arkansas last year!

100%. And I’ll be stoked to see the fight that transpires.
Ole Miss did it at Mullen’s last Egg Bowl in 2017. Our team did 17 all of nothing. Mullen directed them to the locker room and was announced as the Florida HC a few days later.

LOL, now that brings back a memory. Absolutely terrified of quicksand growing up. Never really knew what it was or where it was exactly but seemed prevalent in Tarzan/jungle setting shows and movies.
Ring around the collar on the other hand continues to exist in my world (even "scrubbing my neck" everyday)
