MSU-Ole Miss Head to Head Series (MSU Admin needs to view)

[615dawg]

Seriously. Boone and Stricklin need to get on the phone with Cellular South or another Mississippi company and sponsor a series similar to the Ford Bedlam Series, the State Farm Lone Star Showdown and the Hy-Vee Cyhawk Series

Why?
1. It would be unique to the SEC.
2. It would deepen the rivalry
3. It would call more attention to the minor sports. The crowd at the tennis match was amazing

The particulars can be worked out, but if we used a similar scoring system as the others, this is what the series would look like right now.

*XC, Golf and Track uses results from the SEC Championship. Baseball and Softball series winners receive 2 points max (even with a 3 game sweep).

As you can see, we are kicking their *** this year. We are likely to pick up 2 more points in track and field and at worst could lose 2 points in baseball, so we would have clinched the series already.

along with Learfield. Also, Learfield is even willing to find a sponsor but Ole Miss and Telesouth are saying no. Ridiculous if you ask me.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

...in Oklahoma, Iowa, and Texas?

Just wondering if it's simple "Why didn't we think of this" envy or "Want to keep all the sponsorship bucks" money...

I'll research the past few years when I get a chance this week. I'd bet we have won 4 of the last 5, maybe 6 of the last 7.

The Directors Cup awards equal points for all sports I believe, and Ole Miss has finished a long ways ahead of us the majority of the time for the last several years.<div>

a little different from getting 20 points for tennis every year and finishing ahead.

one is innovative and one just likes to stay with the status quo.
