BMT's Egg Bowl recap

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

and other than a few <17> you's ---no real big deal even though I was ringing my cowbell at a pretty good clip during most of it.
I did have a Grandma bear bump into me on the sidewalk and say to me pretty loudly--"Hey watch where your going" and 3-4 frat boys must have thought it was their grandma. I too like another poster here said that I have learned where and when to pick my battles and this wasnt one of them I wanted to get started-------a few beers later maybe, but I had no backup with me that I could rely on to help the situation.
I did see the most typical om prick however---some guy sitting under a tent in his chair, legs crossed like a woman, sweater vest on and scarf tied around his neck, holding a damn Pomerranian dog in his lap.
Wish i could have gotten a picture of that.
Asfar as om infighting---best of that was after the game and I'm standing around waiting to use one of the Hotty toddy poddies or whatever they are called and this girl comes walking by and she is talking loudly to "someone"--- about 10 ft or so behind her is boyfriend or husband pulling a huge cooler and she is still on his *** saying something about you acting an idiot tonight, etc. He tries to say something to her in a garbled, drunk voice and she yells back <17> You! -- He says something else and she turns again and says <17> You!! and keeps heading into the nightime abyss. I would be safe on saying he didnt have a very good night.

My family and I are lifelong Bulldogs and proud to be, we are regular tailgaters in the Junction and always welcome the opposing fans to MSU as they walk by our tailgate. We have not been to an Eggbowl game in Oxford in about 15 years, the last time we were there our cars got keyed and my five year old daughter was handed a plate with dog food by a rebel and told "here are some snacks for you".
This year we decided to go to the game and were invited by some olemiss friends to join them at their tailgate in the thicket (grove). So we arrive inOxford about 1:30and start walking around campus looking for our friends(we hear the usual comments "redneck, leg humpers, white trash"), we find themabout 2:30 and were warmly welcomed by all the olemiss folks around us. My wife, daughter, son, daughter in law and myself decided we would walk to the stadium and greet theBulldogs as they got off the bus, so we get on a sidewalk an start walking toward the stadium. The further we got from the comfort of our friends tent the louder the very obscene comments became. My son and I both had cowbells in our back pockets to ring as we greeted the team getting off the bus. Someone grabbed the cowbell from my sons pocket and he immediately grabbed the arm of that person and said "you do not want to do that" and thebear fanreturned the cowbell and my son begins to ring the bell.At this time I realized we were in trouble, we made it about another 20 yards and the crowd closed in on us with much verbal abuseand poured beer on my son and his wife of two weeks and several of them pushed my son to the ground and start punching him, my wife and I are trying to get them off him and get the hell out of there. He gets back on his feet and some 30ish year old punk hits him in the face with a drink and runs and hides behind his wife. I am trying desperately to get my family out of there but my son is determined to get the punks and to find his bell (yes his Grandmother did give him that bell shortly before she passed away).We finally find the bell and attempt to leave but are surrounded by a sea of sceaming red and blue clad idiots. As we are trying to work through the crowd some old lady grabs my bell out of my pocket and throws it into the crowd so I have to go back after my bell, with the help of a nice young man dressed in red I found my bell and somehow make it back to my family across the road.

I can assure you my Sonwas not drunk as said by "msu4life07". He was responding to verbal and physical abuse by ringing his cowbell. I agree that was not a real smart thing to do but he was not drunk. He loves MSU and will fight anyone for his cowbell.

His mom and dad on the other hand cant wait for the next 4 years to pass. I fully expect them to come back to the maroon and white side after he graduates. His mom cheered for both sides the whole game which brought some looks from the blue and red crowd and his dad told me after the game that "I hate this 17ing place".

I thought you said that his parents had gone full bore UM with the Red & Blue just a few months ago? What changed their minds and opinions? Surely they didn't think OM was just another State except with a different color uniform did they?

 

[BigMotherTucker]

have a condo in Oxford, haven't missed a game all year, and are 100% dedicated to their son and his happiness. That being said, his mom and dad are both State graduates and both love State dearly. I can tell the switch to OM has affected the mom more than the dad but like I said, I fully expect them to be back in maroon and white in a few years.</p>

 

[BigMotherTucker]

I felt really bad for your son and I truly felt helpless in the melee. I apologize about that. Like I said in an earlier post, your son is a big ole boy (I'm guessing 6'4" / 6'5" 280ish) and those rebs wouldnt have dared to pull that **** one on one with him.

/I'm glad we found his bell.

 

[JesterB]

the man that returned your bell was wearing a red shirt, I thought it I was there.

I returned someone's bell but I damn sure wasn't wearing a red shirt! I got that one(retreived 2)back from Todd Wade. Well, kinda. He threw it on the ground instead of handing it to me. I'm just glad he didn't take my head off with it.

 

[MSUBulldog58]

Iappreaciate your help finding the bell. I was worried about my families safety and about to leave without the bell then suddenly someone found it and gave it to us.I assume that was you and for that I thank you. We wandered into the wrong place at the wrong time with no intentions but to find the stadium and greet our team.I will never step foot on that campus again!

 

[rem101]

But this was much later in the night, probably about 1:15, on the square. Was quite humorous.

Myself, girlfriend, 3 drunk friends, and 1 girl straggling along with a drunk friend, leave the library. After I dominate the last piece of pizza in Square Pizza, we look for a cab. Standing in the road, drunk friend 1 is oblivious to where he is. A tahoe pulls up and honks the horn at him, he just stands there. They roll down the window, throw out a few 17 you's, which he understands and drops a few back. They are in such a hurry to get 12 feet up to where it's bumper to bumper traffic. As they pull up and stop, drunk friend 2 tries to sneak up to their car. He starts unscrewing the caps on their tire valve. Of course their windows are still down from the verbal assaults that just happened. The girl in the front seat sees him and starts getting out and cussing him again. Guy in the back seat catches on and slings his door open, hitting the girl in the face. I laughed at this. But then he gets to drunk friend 2 and words are exchanged. Then punches are exchanged with drunk friend 2 landing the majority of them. I don't feel like going to jail so I pull him off. Girlfriend and random girl are freaking out, while drunk friend 1, who started most of this, just stands there in a daze. Drunk friend 3 then walks up beating his chest yelling something along the lines of "17 you mother 17er, I'll beat your *** and it's about to get real 17ing dirty." I laughed at this also, along with the rest of our friends. He then punches one of them and everything breaks up. Walking back down the street, a random guy about 3 cars back gets out and tells drunk friend 3, "I got ya back dog." And somehow drunk friend 1 still gets *** from the random ho.

Good times. I can not blame this on Oxford except for over serving my friend. And the trashy girl in the front seat.

 

[Trapper97]

That's pretty much how it happened. Except:
[list type=decimal][*]The Ole Miss 17er that threw the drink was also the one that started the fight by tackling a member of our group; and[*]My dad was actually released from the hospital Sunday afternoon. He saw the fight, was coming across University Dr. to get involved when he tripped and fell in the street. Though, at 64, he's going to be pissed to learn that he's now "elderly".
[/list]

 

[shoeless joe]

was the crew that i was with. we had a great time before and during the game. i did not sit with this particular black bear fan/friend of mine. his story was that a guy rang a bell in his face. my friend told him if he rang it again he was knocking himthe 17 out of him. the guy rang it, the black bear hit him and then jumped on top and layed a few hay-makers before he was put in cuffs and led out of the stadium. he was put in a cop car but after several minutes was told to calm his *** down and released. his wife was absolutely pissed that this had happened and they fought all nite and the whole way home the next day.

 

[Incognegro]

Then again, I wasn't wearing maroon either. Probably the worst I saw though was when we got into the stadium, they were showing the memorial to Nick on their jumbotron. At this time, my brother and I were trying to find our seat, so we were looking in front of us down into the bleachers right below us. At this time, one of the rebels who was obviously drunk, looked up and said something to the extent of, "They need to get this Mississippi State **** off the board and show more of the god damned Rebels..." I had to bite my lip to keep myself from saying something.

 

[o_fredgarvin]

Didn't see any fights, but I'm too old to listen to the crap I had to listen to in the East stands. I've only heard worse at a Yankees-Orioles game

 

[dawgfan42]

MSUBulldog58 is my dad and what he said was the truth. I was not drunk!!!! If I would have been drunk, the fight would have been alot uglier than what it was on both sides. BTW, I wasnt even going to say anything or even ring my cowbell until the first guy pulled it out of my pocket. After that happened, I started ringing my cowbell and started chanting "how bout them black bears!". I know that was not the smartest thing to do, but I was doing it all in fun. It is one thing to talk smack and have some laughs; however, it is another thing to physically put your hands on someone! I just wish I knew the name of the guy that threw his whiskey drink on my wife and I. The coward had the audacity to throw that drink on my wife and I, then he ran and hid behind his cow of wife. I think its funny that MSU fans are called white trash and hicks and rednecks, yet they are the ones that have fights 100 to 1. I know this kind of **** happens at every school, but its funny that Ole Piss is the most hated school out of the whole SEC. They have more rivals than any other SEC school. They think they are above everyone else. I think thats funny, considering they are the only school in the SEC West that have yet to attend the SEC Championship!! And yes, my grandmother gave me that cowbell!! I promise on her grave that if any Ole Piss fan tries to take that cowbell from me, I will kill them or I will die trying!! And one more thing, I wasnt saying anything to anybody while my family and I were going down the WoC. Not a word was said until that first guy grabbedmy bell out of my back pocket. And that is the TRUTH!! One more thing, after the whole thing was over, a women grabbed my dad's cowbell out of his pocket and threw it. Then they surrounded my sister and dad and started the Hotty Toddy and pushing and cursing him. Just to clear things up, a CLASSY red shirt guy did get the cowbell back for my dad. @BMT, thanks for helping me and my wife out with finding my cowbell!!

 

[SixtonPackerish]

for anyone to be that disrespectful, drunk or sober.

 

[onewoof]

I don't know about you guys but reading this thread is like the best of Jerry Springer. I know we have our share of idiot fans and they have theirs, but I read this with no apology for the guilty pleasure I derive from some of our brothers and sisters acting a fool.

 

[Xenomorph]

Cowbells... A certain segment of OM fans absolutely lose their **** when cowbells are involved in any way.

 

[whistlerdog]

Something about the mere sight of a cowbell being rung or not makes the black bears go ape **** crazy. A horrible old ugly bear ***** in the north end zone was calling security right and left and even had the rent a cop take a little girl's baby pink bell up... They hate our guts - just like the old days.</p>

 

[FlabLoser]

Over at the Templeton Troughs on Auburn week, I had a Auburn fan get irritated at the fact that I was holding a bell standing in line for the pisser. He got smartassy and tried to tell me I wasn't supposed to have a bell at the game.

I was right there with you man. I was already so pissed off about thefight thatI 17ed with that lady the rest of the night!

 

[Incognegro]

It got under my skinmore so since I knew Nick. The way I looked at it though, regardless of what I said or did to him, the fact that he is an ungrateful, pathetic dumbass isn't going to be changed. Instead of stooping down to his level, I just proceeded to find my seat and acknowledge that anything he had to say about the situation wasn't going to ruin the memory the me and others had of him.

[ScaldedDawg]

We just need to go back to ***-whippin and fill up the emergency rooms like the old days. There's a deep seated hatred between us, that'll probably never be civil.

 

[statefan10]

I just wanted to add a much needed detail about "the fight." By the way, I am the daughter of MSUbulldog58 and the sister of dawgfan42. I don't do the whole message board thing (this will most likely be my first and last post) but thought I would share some information while we were on the subject. Everything my dad said is 100 percent true. 100 percent! However, he left out what I think is one important detail. So here goes.... One of our ole miss friends that we were tailgating with gave us directions to what he considered to be the bestway to get to the stadium to greet our bulldogs. His exact words were to follow the walk of champions down, you'll see the stadium, and the team should be getting off the bus to the left of the stadium. I'm guessing our ole miss friend gave his fellow fans the benefit of the doubt and thought theywould act in a respectful manner. Anyways, we followed his directions and stepped into trouble.I'm saying this because I want people to know that we were not out looking for trouble that day. We simply were there to watch the egg bowl and have a good time. We love our bulldogs and support them through thick and thin; however, we have rung our cowbells at TSUN for the last time.

Hope to see everyone at the bowl game! GO STATE!!

when you said that you don't do message boards, but you then refer to Ole Miss as TSUN.... that has me rather intrigued..

 

[jcdawgman18]

Oh yeah....Dan.

 

[Incognegro]

I never heard anyone outside of a message board actually use the acronym TSUN. Matter of fact, the main people that I even hear use that phrase to begin with frequent message boards. That's all I'm saying.

 

[whistlerdog]

that I ought to post - she was ducking down trying to hide. Was not at the WoC altercation but my wife was and said that the "Grenada Man from the Junction" was helping you out - evidently we tailgate right by you guys.Glad you got your bell back. It was an extremely hostile environment.

 

[skip dog]

I do business w/ alot of TSUN people, I use it on a regular basis through out the year just to needle @ them. We have alot of fun w/ it.....granted I do try not to schedule TSUN appointments during eggbowl week & the week after, especially after we win, I do have some respect for TSUN good bears.

Have you watched ESPN lately when they discuss TSUN football. ESPN has had alot of fun w/ it over the past few weeks.

Even better, Some of my TSUN acquaintances have, for the better part of the last half of the season, referred to themselves as TSUN out of disgust for their season.

Maybe not in your circles, but it has gotten plenty of mileage outside of the realm of a message board.

 

[dawgfan42]

when you said that you don't do message boards, but you then refer to Ole Miss as TSUN.... that has me rather intrigued..

Did you not watch the Eggbowl. Do you not watch ESPN with PTI and SECGridIron. Apparently you have no life! Trying to call out another MSU fan is pretty low! But you keep thinking your cool and all!

 

[LewisNixon]

Let me share my experience as an Ole Miss fan in Starkville in 1999. My wife and I had a bourbon and coke (glass included) thrown on us from the stands as we stood at field level. Once the game was over, as we were trying to leave, I had two young MSU idiots run up to me screaming obscenities. Cowards ran when confronted. I saw a Maroon clad guy run a key up and down the side of a black Tahoe that had Ole Miss flags in the windows. And the worst part was I saw an MSU fan push an elderly Ole Miss man down from behind and run away. I assisted the man who turned out to be okay. The guy was at least mid 70's, lucky he was not hurt badly.

So get off your damn high horse, dumbasses exist on both sides.

 

[MSUDawg25]

A state fan purposely shoving an elderly person and running away? Did he also strangle a kitten and urinate on a baby? I'm not saying you didn't see it, I'm simply saying there is probably more to tell. I'm invisioning a drunk student bumping into an older guy causing him to go off balance and fall while the drunk in question continues on blissfully unaware.

 

[oxbow.sixpack]

maybe Im thinking about someone else
