Extra - Ole Miss is now referred to as the "The Team Up North" by anyone or anything when it comes to the MSU football family. Even scores of the Egg Bowl are reflected as: MSU 17 The Team up North 14.

This is so terrible.

Or just in general? I agree, the saying is stupid. I wish Mullen would quit using it. As Jackie was able to prove, "Mississippi" is a much more effective way at getting under a UM fan's skin.

Certainly, the athletic department isn't printing that or using it in any sort of communication/advertisement? That would be embarrassing.

Mullen's use of that phrase is to de-emphasize Ole Miss as a performance standard for Mississippi State. We should not judge ourselves on how well we do vs them. We should judge ourselves on how well we do vs the conference.

Be stated like that. Not sure if it'll be on the scoreboard, media guide or what. Still pretty gay regardless.

The implication that we're "Northerners" from a guy born in Pennsylvania who went to high school in New Hampshire is Kiffinesque, but if that's as bad as it gets with him you're doing pretty well. Nothing will ever bother Ole Miss fans more than Jackie's use of "Mississippi."

I honestly haven't seen anyone call Ole Miss that. But then again, most of the people I hang out with have a brain.

Where are you seeing this? Like Panola said I have seen it on the Junction boards but that's really the only place. Nut sacks like Backer say that, and to make it even gayer (if that's possible), they say TSUN (the school up north). It should be stopped immediately. It will not get under a UM fan's skin, in fact they would laugh their *** off at anyone using that phrase. I have had UM friends of mine tell me before that they could not stand when Jackie or anyone called them Mississippi. Therefore, that is the only thing that we should be calling them.

Although it doesn't really bother me that it's used. The Genespage bunch thinks it's absolutely hilarious, and it does get under the skin of some OM fans. Mullen was on The Sports Drive last night and made the TSUN reference. Some Reb sent Wyatt a text that quoted Mullen, saying it must be that "little brother syndrome".

That's just the problem to me. If he is singling us out and using a nickname for us and us only, then I think it does even more to emphasize us.

Calling us Mississippi, as Jackie did, would be more effective, because it's actually our name, and the purpose of using it was because Jackie thought Ole Miss was a nickname that people used affectionately for the school, and therefore he wasn't going to use the nickname.. Calling us a different nickname I think puts further emphasis on us than already exists.

I recall in the week before an Egg Bowl, former MSU LB Daniel Boyd was interviewed for TV - Jefferson Pilot or something. He said in his interview "after you play here, for the rest of your life people are going to ask you how you did against Mississippi".

Its like The Kang instructed his players to go out and use "Mississippi" whenever possible. Great move. We should still do that.

The fact that anyone from State would go out of their way to call OM anything other than who they are is funny. It shows that folks are thinking about OM way too much. I doesn't make anyone I know mad or hurt their feelings....in fact, it's fairly ghey.

I recall Stuart Scott leading into the '99 Egg Bowl highlights when he said "Mississippi State - Mississippi, lots of i's, lots of s's, lots of fun".

Both are gay. I knew as soon as he called UM "the school up north" or whatever he said, it would be used ad nauseum.

What about the Ole Miss clowns on the spirit and wherever else that like to use MSUX when talking about state,or any of their other ridiculous nicknames. Does that mean thse fans are think about MSU entirely to much and is equally as gay? I would have to say yes

The School Up North: 45

Mississippi State: 0

To me that would suck all the humor out of it.

I could go all day. I, along with the majority of this board, could honestly care less about what Ole Miss does or whatever made up ghey names people come up for each school. Do you really think it bothers me that someone calls my alma mater MSUx? or Leghumpers? Grow the 17 up.

And what in the hell do you mean by this ****?
"The fact that anyone from State would go out of their way to call OM anything other than who they are is funny."

Take that holier than thou **** elsewhere, douche.

And I would agree....you can also throw in LSUX, Turders, M$U and on and on. OM has fans that do 'em all and it's a bit old.

I was saying that the point of calling us TSUN is to imply that we are inferior to State or not worth mentioning. At least I assume that's the point to the humorless people who think that its funny. But if there is a lopsided score like the one last year, then it makes it all the more foolish to imply that a team is inferior to you who just crushed you so completely. I would understand it a little more if State dominated us every year or something.

....in the EE dept, used to tell students on the first day of class that if you were caught cheating on a test, that you and he would go have a talk with the dean about the prospects of continuing your education at a "lesser university up north".

The School up North 45--State College 0. I think you are right, the score dosen't sound nearly as bad when you say it that way. Thanks Rosebowl.
