Let's write the 30 for 30 on Ole Miss for ESPN

[AssEndDawg]

We all know that if we leave this up to ESPN the story will be about how Mississippi State coach Hugh Freeze cheated after losing 3 EggBowls in a row to Jackie Sherrill and Johhny Vaught at Ole Miss. So before they get a chance to butcher it how about we spend this holiday season building the story and gathering up material for them.

I certainly don't know everything that has happened so feel free to tell me where to add things or move things to make it more accurate. Also, if we can pull videos or pictures I will add them in the appropriate place so we can see the entire episode in one post. Let's have some fun...

I wish someone can find the post Egg Bowl talk with Freeze to his players in 2013. The one where he basically threw the current team under the bus and said they werent good enough by telling them that he was going to go out and get the talent so this would never happen again. That video was so telling of what was about to take place. The desperation was at an all time high.

Freeze's talk starts at about the 9:30 mark.

i'm thinking that #2 might oughta be the good ol' boy network that operated in 80-90s and later, after getting their asses beat consistently, morphed into....The NETWORK!

and the leadership of ah-chee deserves a special section of its own. he is golden to those people. there is a large group of former players his age and younger who got buck$ and like to get results that rallied to the call. the Bears used to get recruits to sign promising em that if they'd come play for 4 years, they graduate em from the free law school and set up in a firm after 3 more years school (according to a guy who played for em).

I'd also like to see a list of who people think will get dissociated from the Bears as a result of all of this....

What if I told you institutional control was optional? That the Grove and the Square are considered a treasure by some but a veil for underhanded recruiting by others? Where William Faulkner meets Sugar Bowls and Sanctions.. a new 30 for 30: "How the South Fell Again"

Can Sandra Bullock return to star as one of The DisAssociated?

You have to start it back with their glory days and take it to the time when they became irrelevant in the SEC and nationally, while teams like Alabama. Auburn and LSU (their real rival) are playing for national championships.
