Enemy No. 1 for State?

[POTUS]

Here's an article where some ESPN writer/AI Bot says two OM players I don't even remember are our most hated enemies.

But who is our actual most hated enemy?

My bad. I didn't see that. How do I delete this?

Its okay, we'll just read it twice.

None of those in the poll really resonate any public enemy vibes with me. I am indifferent towards all 4. If I think any people are our biggest “enemy” it would be our completely incompetent administration that couldn’t care less.

 

[CascillaCountryClub]

Larry Templeton would get my vote.

"We are our own worst enemy"..... We actually say that out loud a 100 times a year....

I think it would actually be whoever ultimately decided to not pay Cam Newton. MSU could have won the natty in the 2010 year if we didn't continually fall on the "we going to do it by the rules irregardless of what everyone else is doing" sword.

 

[Herbert Nenninger]

John Fourcade?
Maybe Matt Corral?

 

[SteelCurtain74]

Dick Pace and/or Billy Brewer should have made the list.

 

[GloryDawg]

Why can't the entire oLe miSs fan based.

I ain't reading anything even once

A Bulldog’s true enemy…

Yea, none of the survey options blew a 17 pt 4th qtr lead against UTA.

 

[L4Dawg]

Johnny Vaught.

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

Dick Pace and/or Billy Brewer should have made the list.

If you don’t have these two on there you’re not even trying.

 

[ckDOG]

People that think we need to reallocate resources in order to succeed in football.

 

[Duke Humphrey]

Should be Cecil Newton

 

[patdog]

Ourselves.

Whoever is responsible for losing Vic is mine - greatest ambassador for the school ever

I don’t think you quite understand that story. We were absolutely going to pay Newton. He just chose Auburn, and however they got him is still up for debate.

The other problem is that we allowed the story to leak out mid-year, which made us look like bltches. I’m still convinced that the Alabama machine got to John Bond and them and got all that publicized. We should have just let it die.

 

[dstatechamps]

I was never a fan of Trae Elston.

 

[Maroon13]

AJ Brown, Billy Brewer... are top two.

Brown came to our spring after signing with OM just to troll. 17 that guy.

A Bulldog’s true enemy…

Always has been. When this fact finally is internalized, you see our world much more clearly.

 

[The Peeper]

I think our worst enemies right now are in our own camp.....

But who is our actual most hated enemy?

This might be the worst poll options ever

 

[Negative Waves]

The guys that fired Allyn McKeen should be the most hated. What a bunch of idiots they were. Intentionally running the program into the ground just so they could feel in charge.

 

[SoJxnVol]

Dick Pace and/or Billy Brewer should have made the list.

I am asking this with no knowledge of the guy. Who is dick pace?

 

[RebChuck]

No fog machine? Outback is back on the menu?

 

[85Bears]

Peterson and the boosters who called all the shots after 2022 should be on the list.

They are still there, they didn’t go anywhere. Our football fanbase is still heavily RuNdAbAwL and of course, all decisions revolve around what Ole Miss does.

It’s not even about Leach. You have to be able to throw the ball. The rules dictate that. The way you approach that can vary, but the goal has to be an open pass game.

I actually think Lenny understands this, but he’s just got too much bad influence around him.

No, it’s not all about Leach, 30 years ago what they did would be fixable, but in this age of nil/money arms race it was devastating. Basically razing a program to the ground(one that was solid coming off 9-4 , returning a ton of senior starters) and then having no plan or money to rebuild it on the fly.

massive hole to get out of

He was the referee who threw the pass interference flag on State toward the end of the 81 Egg Bowl. Absolutely horrible call. There's probably a video of it on YouTube.

Oh I agree with that. You never waste a season, even if the success is temporary. That’s why it’s criminal what we did that year, and really 2018 as well.

But hey Ole Miss is doing it now by promoting Golding and not letting this season go to waste by changing shlt all up, so we will probably start doing it now too.

 

[Ranchdawg]

I vote for the SEC front office and their officials. Our demographics lead them to insure we are only successful enough to keep the doors open.
