Check out this thread on the buzzard board discussing the 22nd anniversary of the USM winning the NIT. They're talking about it like we talk about going to the Final Four. It's pretty good comedy.

...for those of you who don't remember, the USM/OM rivalry was even more bitter and angry than State/OM. In the early '80's, it was classic "the Snobs vs. the Slobs". I don't know if what was more dangerous....George "Too Tall" Tillman knocking the **** out of John Fourcade, or one of the fistfights in the stands.

But coming from them, totally expected. At least there were a few people in that thread that "get it".

What's even worse is that that's the only thing they have ever done in basketball. Ever. What are they, 0-2 all-time in the NCAA tournament? They've never even been to the NIT but a few times.

And people wonder why State & Ole Miss fans look down on them.

...the fact they are crowing about the 22 year anniversary of finishing 65th in the nation, the details of their trip to the "big city", or they are still bragging about beating Mississippi in basketball.

was that one poster's "proudest moment" was hailing a cab on 5th Ave. Kind of puts the whole "achievement" into perspective.

Beating us in basketball in the late 80s is nothing to crow about. We were awful back then. This past season we had where we went 16-15 even with the injuries, would've been considered a great success for us in the late 80s/early 90s.

is that there are people walking amongst us on Earth that are that stupid.

He probably honestly and seriously believes that.

I almost pity those polyester-wearing bastards.
