I'll help them pack! But wouldn't they lose their REAL rival*

 

[Shamoan]

maybe it would inspire lsu to leave too.

 

[dog12]

I agree completely with this guy . . . that Ole Miss should quit the SEC and join the Big 12.

Hopefully, more Bears will jump on board and this idea will gain traction.

Ole Miss doesn't have to put up with being "kept down" by other SEC members.

By leaving the SEC for the Big 12, Ole Miss will improve their situation.

Again, this is brilliant. ***

Baylor and Ole Miss in the same conference.

Bear **** everywhere.

"It would provide the conference with potential to upgrade their football presence and establish a foothold in the Southeast."

Reality check: In 2010 there were more than a few State fans who had feeling similar to those expressed in the first three paragraphs.

How was that received in bearland?

 

[PBRME]

Go back a few years further and we had fans wanting to join CUSA.

I think I remember an old genespage article circa 2004-2005 about this.

A Declaration of the Immediate Causes which Induce and Justify the Secession of the University of Mississippi from the SEC.


In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the confernce of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.


Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of amature football-- the greatest entertainment interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of entertainment on earth. This entertainment is peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the southern athlete can bear exposure to the tropical sun. This entertainment has become a necessity of the world, and a blow at amature football is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the SEC, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin. That we do not overstate the dangers to our institution, a reference to a few facts will sufficiently prove.


The hostility to this institution commenced before the adoption of the new rules, and was manifested in the well-known Head Coach Responsibilities Regarding Compliance, in regard to the NCAA.

They would fit in nicely in the land of the old southwest conference.

 

[rem101]

We were competing more at a SWAC level at that time.

 

[VillagepeopleDogs]

What would they do with all their championship hardware.

 

[Dawgbite]

It's time they went all the way and yanked the bandaid off the scab that is Ole Miss. They have been pulling it off slowly for years but this fresh start gives them the opportunity to reinvent themselves. No more Ole Miss, they will only be known as The University Of Mississippi. No more Rebels, only Black Bears now. No more red, blue, and gray. The new colors will more closely reflect their true image, maybe envy green and cowardly yellow.The ones that will complain, "The Old Times There Are Not Forgotten" group are the ones that got them in the mess they are in now. It is time they are cast aside upon the NCAA trash heap.

 

[BossDawg78]

Some of them now have pipe dreams of leaving the conference and destroying the SEC, just like what happened to the Southwest Conference at the end of the SMU scandal.

They WANT to be that important, and that would be their "See! Told ya!" moment.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Their big offense no defense mentality fits the Big12 more so I say adios!

 

[bulldognation]

THE UNION IS DISSOLVED!

Party like it's 1860, Johnny Reb.

 

[xxxWalkTheDawg]

Um fans still holding on to secession. Will wonders ever cease

Their sense of relevancy in this world never ceases to amaze me.

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

Oh ok, so that's why they were burning lower case T's in the grove*** time to leave

Conference USA welcomes you, Rebel brethren. Just sign on the dotted line and you'll get to play the likes of Rice, La Tech, Marshall, and Western Kentucky. Of course, you'd have to put up with USM referring to you as "little brother", but at least that mean old SEC would leave you alone.

They could always join the Ivy League, their rightful place. ****

Some other 'more than a few' moments....

More than a few couldn't wait for the next chance to **** on Steve Robertson before he was seemingly 'born again' into credibility

More than a few on this board proclaimed that Ross Bjork was a great hire before he went all twitter badass

More than a few thought Bracky Brett was the reason MSU was being held back from playing the game we needed to play

And still, more than a few think that Mullen CANT recruit rather than understanding how important it was over the last 3 years to not draw the NCAA's attention from where it was.

Yes, you've uncovered it. all fanbases have dumbasses.

Which certainly mitigates rebellions lunacy***
