I’ve seen way too many state fans

I fall squarely into the case of multiple things being true for me with this.

1. My wife and her family are all Ole Miss people who for 20+ years have been incredibly kind and supportive of me and my obvious and demonstrated fandom for Mississippi State, being incredibly gracious to me and any of my people who have traveled to Oxford with tailgates and anything else, and are genuinely happy for me when MSU does something good. On that account I am always very happy for them when their team accomplishes something good and I am usually even able to want it to happen for them. We do not trash talk each other and are pretty objective in analysis of the other's side (except for my 8-year-old nephew who once made amends by mailing me a hand-drawn and colored M-State logo in apology for some Egg Bowl trash talking).

2. I fully recognize what a complete and absolute insufferable nightmare it would have been for Ole Miss to win a national championship amongst the majority of that fanbase, and I am not at all sorry that I don't have to deal with that.

These two things exist simultaneously within me, and I think that's fine.
They are lying to you. They joke about how much they have you fooled behind your back.

I had to listen half a bar full of Ole Miss fans actively cheering against us when we were playing the final series of the '21 baseball Championship. Several of them literally purchased Vandy gear and wore it. When we lost the first game to Vandy they repeatedly did their Hobby Lobby chant. Last night one of them had to nerve to try to shame me into cheering for them. I told them I'm not pulling for them but i'm not going to be an ******* about it like they were in '21. To prove I'm not a miserable dbag i watched the game in silence but couldn't resist a quiet slow cap after the final play. I got several 17's thrown my way and loved every second of it. I hate those miserable 17ers.

I had a similar experience when we were in the SEC title game back in 98.
