Hate to give Kellenberger the clicks, but...

Are these guys serious? They act as if they've owned us in basketball. Two of the best teams in their history went 3-2 against two of our worst teams (SEC record wise) in history. I would have been OK if our players danced in the locker room after beating Jackson State last year.

For the better part of the last two decades, our basketball team cared a lot more about beating the Kentucky's, Florida's, Tennessee's, and Alabama's than Mississippi. Their biggest games those years was trying to beat us. Which they sparingly did.

To put things in perspective, since SEC expansion (the first one) we own nearly a .640 win percentage against them in hoops. Stans owned them. Hell, I've made several trips to Oxford and seen us beat them on their home floor.

Does two years, a rivalry make? Just absolute delusion on their part, fueled by Kellenberger.

If you just ignore him it will be best. It's like a young kid starving for attention

What's the expiration date on that narrative? They really need a new one, but I will hand it to them, when it was original it was pretty good. Any protest on our part, even when supported with facts like their field rushing after the 2012 Egg Bowl, was spun as us begging to be relative. The fatal flaw is that relevance is a status that they neither have in quantities larger than us, nor that they can confer.

I find it hilarious that they're somehow fluffing up their basketball program while they are the ONLY team in the SEC that hasn't won a regular season SEC championship, for real. 14 teams, and they are the only ones without a legit conference championship. I would be embarrassed, especially considering how they pretend they are so far about everyone else.

Of course it's not a big rivalry game for them when they consistently lose the game more often than they win it

I love it when they use that narrative. That always means we just beat their ***. They never just lose to us. The only way we win is because they don't care about us. But yet they feel the need to constantly remind everyone they don't care about us.
