So am I alone in rooting for the Rebels

[Shadow34]

I know they aren’t on our side but when it comes to having teams numbers...... we have the bears and the Hogs have ours. And I am baseball guy and it would make MS look pretty damn good.

 

[FreeDawg]

Yes

 

[Shamoan]

i would rather not have to play arkansas, although i think we can beat them, but omaha needs to be o.m.a.h.a.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Yep.

Looking forward to the Ole Miss vs. Arkansas/Mississippi State game at 3.— Karen Howell (@karenehowell) June 10, 2019

Arkansas would hurt ticket availability in Omaha more. Ole Miss will bring a respectable crowd, but nothing like Arkansas would.

You be like....

 

[tatedog]

That retweet about our arrival in Omaha was pretty funny.

 

[Seinfeld]

I’ve struggled with it because after all, we’re 4-0 against the Rebs this year versus 0-3 against the Hogs. Even basic logic would indicate that we should be pulling for Ole Miss

That said, as much as it will sting if we get knocked out in Omaha, there is absolutely nothing that’d be worse than us getting knocked out and OM somehow winning it all. That cannot happen, and I’d rather that awful thought just be out to pasture this afternoon so that we can focus on bigger and better things

Without a doubt. OM is clicking on all cylinders, and if we happened to face them, they'd be due for one or two. It'd be great for the state, but I'd rather not experience that.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

If you are thinking long term.... you should never cheer for Ole Miss in anything.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

It was. Here it is:

Sounds like a very lively environment, with very vocal fans for both teams. I hope they are all miserable and beat the crap out of each other, until Arkansas wins it in 15 innings.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

So, the thought pattern in this thread is the same old MSU BS mentality of it's all about Ole Miss. Foil them at all cost. Screw UM and everybody else in the field, we are playing to WIN this thing. Sabermetrics say we should beat UM but some of you want to take the hard road against Arkansas just so Ole Miss can't win. Damn, whether we are just badass enough to win on our own merit or the stars and Indians are aligned right I don't care as long as we bring home the trophy. We need this championship.

 

[Dawg_4_lifes]

Im rooting for an earthquake.

 

[thatsbaseball]

With all due respect. Why the 17 would anyone on this board pull for OM to have a shot at a natty in ANY sport.

 

[FreeDawg]

Don’t overthink this. 17 Arkansas, 17 their fans, and 17 the WPS chant nonsense. Nothing about Arkansas isn’t terrible. Remember when they denied Bully stadium entrance? 17 all those people. But they are playing Ole Miss. If you made me recite Dixie with my hand on my heart or hurl myself in traffic, an interstate is getting a temporary speed bump.

 

[dickiedawg]

They're on opposite sides of the bracket, shouldn't effect us much until the second weekend.

This is the only acceptable answer.

 

[Dawgzilla]

Nothing good can ever come from a UM victory. I would rather have lost the division title than have that damn "Thanks, Rebels" headline. Screw them.

I'm not sure what would happen if we met the Rebels in the championship series. They might have to call in the National Guard.

I’d rather have a sister in a ***** house than a brother at ole miss

 

[BiscuitEater]

Without a doubt. OM is clicking on all cylinders

After Bottom of 2, Hogs 4 Baby blue sharks 1 … and, the Hogs are spanking the ball.

 

[Shadow34]

I’m of the opinion that would be fun as hell... an egg bowl national championship. Yes it would be near impossible to stomach if they won it.... but I would love our chances. Arky however may hungrier than we are to win a natty after last year. And we seem to suck against them.

UMISS peaks and valleys so much that you never know what is about to hit the field. I get what you're saying about them possibly being due, but to counter that, I have the following:

[archdog]

I want it to come down to us versus them. IF we were already in the finals and Ark/UM were to be the other game to get into the finals, I would consider wanting UM to be our competition. Unfortunately, it is too possible although unlikely that they could advance to the finals and us not. That possibility can not be allowed to happen. Go Hogs.

Good point. Debate over. OM still has no business in Omaha.

<time datetime="1560192503">2 hours ago </time> VIP via Mobile Admittedly today is my birthday. Last time we won to go to World Series it was my birthday too.

I feel good about today!




Only Problem with the post is … Ole Miss beat ULL on 9 June to go to Omaha and today is 10 June.

 

[Drebin]

This is really the answer. It's fun to poke them for never getting to go to Omaha.

 

[MagnoliaHunter]

From the stories about their library, it's the about the same thing

I’d rather have a sister in a ***** house than a brother at ole miss

except Sis gets paid.

 

[MagnoliaHunter]

long term, short term, middle term, any 17ing term.

17 'em.

 

[Pilgrimdawg]

I would not be for the bears f they were waiting to play the loser between Syria and Iran in an elimination game, and that is the suger coated version of how I feel.

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

GTHOM ..... enough said!

I'm sure he's one of those divas that celebrates his birthday over a multi-day period, i.e. however long the opioid bender lasts.

The Mayor would put the smack on that RebShark ***.

 

[Go Budaw]

A small part of me did want them to get there, just to see if the #RallyBooger would become a thing. Looks like it wasn’t meant to be though.

 

[dawgdr]

There was a time not so long ago that they had the better bb program in the state when we had Polk 2. So not all about om. About wanting my school to have the best program far and above anyone else. Want recruits and world to know!

 

[AFDawg]

We can cross the Arkansas bridge when and if we get to it. We'll have to win hard games regardless. Might as well enjoy Ole Miss losing today.
