So when did state fans care about your team getting beat in the ONLY game on that night mean they care more about it than our game later on this weekend. You are obviously of the delusional breed of UM fan that truly think like that.Also i realize that WE are RIVALS but if any of you have facebook please go take a look at how many state fans are more concerned about Ole Miss losing than about playing #7 LSU in your own backyard.
What kind of facebook statuses do you expect two days before our game even kicks off? There's not a lot to say. "Ready for the game!...in two days..."ReidRebel08 said:Also i realize that WE are RIVALS but if any of you have facebook please go take a look at how many state fans are more concerned about Ole Miss losing than about playing #7 LSU in your own backyard.
That pretty much sums it up right there, and any Ole Miss fan that tries to deny that is really delusional.tommyboy1520 said:What's really happening is projection. You guys are projecting a stronger rivalry than there really is because you think it will boost your standing in the SEC and in college football. LSU is a big time program. State is not. And Ole Miss is not. But you think that if you can convince the world of college football that LSU is your real rival, then it will elevate your program up a notch. Try consistently winning year in and year out. Do that for more than a decade and the reputation of your program will start to rise.
Looks like some of you have forgotten what the legendary coach had to say.The arrival of John Vaught in Oxford in 1947 changed everything for the Rebels, who embarked on a dominance of the Bulldogs (Mississippi State adopted the nickname in the early '40s) over the next two-plus decades, as the Rebels became an SEC and national power. "(Vaught) always said, '<span style="font-weight: bold;">Never forget that Mississippi State is your rival,</span>'" Alford says. "And he wanted to beat them."
