Listening to this Mullen interview on Finebaum...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
...I am slowly coming around the %%@# thing because it bothers Ole Miss fans so much. First of all, Mullen (as he said in the interview) thinks football rivalries are great and he sees it as a strength of college football. Secondly, Mullen has been at the pinnacle of college football and so he doesn't have an inferiority complex with them. Thirdly, because of all this talking, I seriously doubt we go to Oxford unprepared next year. We may get beat, but I bet we're ready to play.
My one criticism of poking them too much is that any time State rises off the mat in football, the crazies come out. We'll soon have an all out assault on cowbells, Xena will be finding NCAA investigators to seduce, and private investigators will be mobilized. I'm not sure he's aware of the level of crazy that he's dealing with with that fanbase when we start having some success at their expense.
Also, it's still pretty gay, and his yankee background has failed him in the trash talking department. I still prefer Jackie's 'Mississippi.'

as well, but T-SUN making Sportscenter had gotten quite a few Rebels I know in a tizzy...I think its hilarious and, as someone who thoroughly enjoys pissing people off, I say stick with it if it works. And it is.

I was given birth by 2 rebels, sibling to a rebel, brother in law to the biggest mississippi homer alive, and husband to a rebel.........and nothing, and i mean nothing gets them more fired up than when i refer to them as 'Mississippi' ......refering to them as @@+! just makes them laugh.....not to mention it just sounds gay to me.......but if it makes a few rebel fans get their panties in a wad, then its ok.....i will stick to 'mississippi'
