I think it's kind of obvious what's happening here...

[dawgstudent]

LSU is becoming our real rival.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I hope we (and by we I mean all State fans) remember all this come next year when Miles returns to Starkville

 

[hatfieldms]

So Ole Miss is fourth?

LSU
Alabama
Auburn
Ole Miss
****

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Agreed, they've replaced Auburn in my book

 

[dawgstudent]

If LSU finishes with 8 wins or less - he might not be in Starkville.

 

[was21]

Pure hatred as much as a rivalry on part of some if there's a difference

 

[BiscuitEater]

Nice !!!

LSU is becoming our real rival.

Only reason that OM claims LSU as their 'real rival,' is ... they have a 3-3 record over the last 6 years.

They sure don't want to admit that State is 'it' ... Mullen 'owns' them with a 4-1 record since his arrival. Shucks, Vandy has won 6 of the last 10 meetings with the bears.

And, they sure don't want to bring up Bama. Vaught avoided Bear like the plague. Last time OM won @ Tuscaloosa was '88.

 

[Seinfeld]

It will not be forgotten by the fans and if I know Mullen like I think I do, Dan will not forget it either.

 

[was21]

History wise, OM didn't play Bama nor Auburn anywhere near the times we played them (which was every damn year) Vaught was a master at scheduling cupcakes inside and outside the conference...gotta give him credit for that.

 

[FlotownDawg]

1988 is the ONLY time OM has won in Tuscaloosa

Last time OM won @ Tuscaloosa was '88.

OM has played Alabama about 40 times less than we have, but their winning percentage against Alabama is worse than ours is. OM has only won EIGHT of 61 games played against the Tide, and have only won twice since 1988. Flagship indeed.

 

[Sapsdawg]

Whether or not that's case, I don't know, but Mullen should be sued for negligence or coaching malpractice if he does not turn a tape in of LSU for what they did during the game. There should also be a GA studying every frame of the aTm game this weekend and turn them in. If this is what you idiots (Ole Miss and LSU) want we'll have 30 SEC players a week suspended. Les Miles just declared war and I would go all out. I personally think Day did it on purpose but you can't prove it based on those videos and so how could you suspend an entire game on that, I don't know. LSU player purposefully tried to take Dak's head off, that can't be accidental and no comment from anyone. I hope Mullen doesn't just take it. It can be done without the fanbase knowing about it publicly.

 

[klong-dog]

Yep, per (Paul BB) best friend that's still living told me the Bear and JV had an agreement not to play one another for many years.

 

[Shamoan]

its nice to have a new super bowl. the other rivalry was getting stale and was too one sided.

 

[jb1020]

In thread question

now that LSU has become our real rival, what do we call the matchup and what kind of trophy do we play for next year?

 

[121Josey]

Need a good name for it like Bermuda Bowl.

 

[campshelbydog842003]

I bet Dan doesn't take his foot off the gas again. Reading between the lines in his interview yesterday, if we get up on someone else that is pretty good, he is going to leave our starters in and leave no doubt, Herman Boone style.

 

[Sapsdawg]

I would suggest the CornDawg trophy, a bulldog with a corndog erection.

 

[MeridianDog]

what do we call the matchup and what kind of trophy do we play for next year?

Gumbo Bowl

I will furnish the trophy. I have a spare gumbo bowl in the cabinet. I just need a board to mount it on and some construction adhesive , which I will gladly donate.

I'll write our name on it for this year if that is ok with all here.

 

[ultra dwarf]

Include Auburn as the other team Vaught avoided. MSU has played alabama and auburn about 85 more games than tsun has.
