If We would have had an ad like this in our paper about Ole Miss do you think they would be calling us obsessed?

after you swept the basketball series about pulling a school year sweep. I think it was determined that neither school had ever pulled an "Egg Bowl" sweep, and I don't even think it was common for either school to only win 1 game in a school year.

Obviously it won't end up happening this year as we've already won the Gov's game, but we did it to LSU in the major sports and a lot of the minor ones as well this school year. The only sports they got us in this year were volleyball and softball.

It's odd for someone to put an ad in the paper about it, but I did see it brought up this past weekend after we swept the DH going into Sunday with the possibility to go 6-0 on LSU.

As I understand it, this ad was taken out by an individual who apparently thought it would be cool for our fanbase to pat our collective selves on the back. I think most Ole Miss fans do not believethat this is cool, but I could be wrong.

But wasn't it actually MS State, ie. the actual university,that purchased the "many happy returns" billboard on I-55 near Batesville, the newspaper ad after the Egg Bowl, etc.? The actions of a single fanare not necessarily representative of the fanbase, but it's a little different when it's the actual university.

Regardless, I'm not a fan of taking out ads to rub it in someone else's face.

that's some good pwnage of LSU.

But it looks stupid, how much Ole Miss tries to associate themselves with LSU. Nobody else in the country but Ole Miss fans consider it a rivalry worth watching - unless both teams are ranked, liked the past two years. Everybody knows the Egg Bowl. So if we wrote that article, nobody would care.

LSU might consider you their biggest rival, no doubt. But it's really just another game to them.

I think it is total obsession. Kind of like that bumper sticker when Ole Miss beat Florida.
To think their real rival is LSU is a joke, especially now that MSU is beating that ***...

but not a lot was made out of it other than to note that Arkansas hadn't beaten us in any of the major sports since Houston Nutt coaches his first football game at Ole Miss. Just a funny footnote to jab at the Hog fans. They did win one of the basketball games this spring though, but that's still their only major sport win since Nutt coached his first game.

You can hang that up no matter how bad you want it. LSU don't give a crap about you. Maybe in the 60's but notnow.
