Who was short programming in its infancy, so they showed Oregon Ducks football do a bunch of bored Yankee fans on New York State basic cable.<div>
</div><div>That, and the Nike money, resulted in the big *** Harrington billboard they became famous for.</div>

Don't get me wrong, you're still painting yourselves to look like idiots to anyone else outside of Mississippi, but if you're gonna push on with this thing, I do honestly love that they're adopting the most shameless route possible.

ESPN sells advertising in tiers, with ESPN3 being isolated from the actual TV broadcasts and vice versa. However, it's in the NCAA agreements that each university receive promotional consideration - they don't pay for those ads. What you saw was an error at the ESPN3 level, and I can assure y'all, talking to some of the folks who have or currently work in Bristol, Mississippi is Mars to them. There's no in-joke or sleight to one school, they just have their heads up their ***.

told different direction on how to get to their campus by the om coaching staff.
Maybe we should put advertisements on their jumbotron. Do they have a jumbotron yet?

The horse is out of the barn, there's no walking any of this back. We know we're going to catch hell the day y'all beat us so we may as well have as much fun with it as we can. If we can live through losing the recruiting championship every year then we can live with losing another Egg Bowl.

Just a couple of blocks form the square if that's the case. No ignoring that.

What if we just act like nothing happened? How will you react then?

I think that will be exactly what we do, because our administration know that's exactly what y'all hate the most...being ignored.

Just like they are now about the Egg Bowl losses, State's billboards, and everything that is MSU-positive. Instead of actually not caring and therefore simply not responding, OM fans are going out of their way to actively and repeatedly say they don't care. Making it SO obvious that the bear fans care a lot and really are bothered by it.

If Ole Miss finally does beat State and you actually do ignore it, that would only be good for us.

Because we didn't try to publicly humiliate you? Y'all have been seeking attention, so I don't think we should give you any.

And if the administration ignored us, Forward Rebels would spend thousands on newspaper ads, bilboards, radio spots, bus benches, and anyting else they could think of.

In Mississippi you have to get whatever attention you can so that recruits and students will recognize your program. That's part of the reason that you guys suck at everything right now...you think people across the country think you're relevant, but you aren't. So in the meantime, we are passing you by and have now left you in the dust. We Are the school in Mississippi, and you guys are watching us make you less relevant and are doing nothing about it. So please, Ignore Us if you beat us....that would be the absolute best thing for us that you could do. But you can't do it. Your fans want to act like they're superior (still don't know why or how they could think that), but if you really were then you wouldn't feel the need to come over here and say that you don't care and try to defend your ****** program.

I've got too many OM friends who are rational and willing to admit it for me to believe otherwise. Hell over the holidays while out I had a current OM student tell me he wants to burn down the billboards and that he hopes Mullen gets sone rare form of dick cancer.

and quit being pussies and do something, then maybe this rivalry can get its juice back and be relevant on a national stage. That would probably help us both. Alabama and Auburn sure aren't afraid to hate each others guts and admit that losing to one another 17ing sucks. Grow a sack.

We are metaphorically punching you in the face and daring you to do something about it. Since we started this marketing approach last season, all you've done is lay down and die on the field/court. Your basketball team just quit 5 minutes into the game today at LSU and will get thumped by 30. LSU is missing their two best players as well, and this is a game you should be very competitive in. Your "effort" against us in the Egg Bowl, I won't even discuss, we all saw it. No heart, both in football and basketball.

Maybe your failures have nothing to do with our marketing efforts, but they are happening concurrently. Until something changes, it is fair to assume our marketing has a role in the disheartened nature of your players. Pissing you off without any sort of reprisals thusfar is just a bonus. Thus, it's obvious why we love it.

It may be crazy talk, and it may not make any difference whatsoever. Maybe we look like a bunch of childish idiots. I don't know. I just know that your teams have done NOTHING in 2+years to silence us, but have done alot of quitting to enbodlen us even more. If you want us to shut up, start beating us...or at least start playing like you give a damn. Until that happens, you can expect constant escalation. That's the "simple" truth...

"The rivalry sucks, and always will"

You must not have been a fan for very long. It's just sucked since you boys took down Jackie and ironically fell from grace about the same time, and we've never managed to both get back at the same time.

From 1997-2000, it was one of the top and most-watched rivalries in all of college football. Hence Corso, Herbstreit, and Tirico every Thanksgiving in those days, when we were both winning programs for 4 consecutive years. http://youtu.be/vXxNuH7tKV8

Try harder.

1998. In Oxford. We played with a trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game on the line, which eventually put us within one quarter of playing in the Sugar Bowl.

If the rivalry means nothing to you, your team must mean nothing to you, and you should probably find another team. There are less than 5 rivalries in the country that have major implications year in/year out. The implications of a single game doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the rivalry. I don't care if we are playing you in women's water polo in front of 12 fans, I want to beat you in everything.

You guys are the same ole song and dance.

What about the year you had to beat us in order to win your "Co-West Championship"? You guys were playing for something then, right? I mean, I'm just assuming so since you hung a f*cking banner

The only thing the egg bowl has ever been is 1. One team playing for something and the other playing spoiler, or 2. Both teams blow, which is the norm.

There has never been anything on the line. Y'all bash our "LSU Rivalry" a lot, but at least we were playing each other to determine who won the west not too long ago.
