I assume the countdown clock was stolen...

[DowntownDawg]

Nice.

 

[8dog]

they are meant for fun things like calling your rival TeeSun or bulletin board material.

They are not meant for xena and rich j.

 

[Coach34]

just say it..."yes Coach, State is our rival, we hate losing to ya'll too, and Mullen is doing a good job...we were wrong in getting on you guys last year for this and it's good motivation for this season"

You can do it...c'mon Bruiser..I have faith in ye

Exactly one poster in the thread appears to even realize it's a joke.

 

[Hanmudog]

The physically superior team stomped the hell out of the team that played a weak schedule all year. The way we punched them in the mouth all game was not a fluke. If not for Torchbush's defense it would have been 41-14 or so.

 

[jacksdawgs]

I would hope you're more creative than that.."know your enemy" really?

 

[RebelBruiser]

We hate losing that game.

We also hate losing to LSU. The rivalries are different, but both exist.

I do think Mullen is doing a good job. It remains to be seen how he'll do in the long run, but he did a pretty good job last year.

However, I will still say that one board is still very different than what Mullen does. Nutt makes the occasional reference to MSU, often indirect at best, and he put up a bulletin board to help the players not forget that game. Mullen had a countdown clock, changed a security code to 4500, put up Egg Bowl "Champions" posters in the locker room for every year you won the Egg Bowl, had an announced spring game attendance of 34127, has a cute nickname for us and uses it at every chicken dinner and press conference possible.

It's a different approach, and one bulletin board and the occasional mention doesn't approach being similar to the way Mullen approaches it. Mullen made the Egg Bowl his main focus. This bulletin board doesn't approach that, no matter how much you may want to say it does.

I wonder where that little peckerhead hgsmith is today? Figure he'd chime in with his rational explanation.

 

[Daddy Rabbit Dawg]

especially, if the Dogs beat the **** out of Ole Miss again this Fall.

 

[KurtRambis4]

the freaking same. That's the point y'all are missing.

Coach A: Gets team fired up about particular game

Coach B: Gets team fired up about particular game

[spacecataz]

its perfectly okay for them to do this, and not hypocritical at all b/c Mullen also refers to them as TeeSUN.

They set some grade A double standards, that's for sure.

we have managed to come up with the solution to keeping idiots similar to diamondreb et alfrom commenting the whole day, almost. This is a miracle. If only we could figure out how to do it on every thread.

 

[natchezdawg]

Whoever is behind that has to much time on their hands, and takes obsession to the next level.

using the Egg Bowl as a motivation. I haven't heard about the security code change but either way, it is a constant reminder of what the loss felt like. Using that as a motivation to practice/play even harder is not a bad strategy. Whatever it takes to make your team even better.

 

[Hotel Roosevelt]

Even if it won't keep them quiet for long (they'll have it rationalized out by tomorrow morning), but at least we get a few hours of peace as they try to reverse positions without feeling like fools.

It's all a marketing / motivational ploy, and it's working.

Yep. They knew what was coming, and to say they didn't makes them look either a) completely unprepared for not even knowing what Relf does when he gets the ball, or b) extremely stupid for trying to justify getting hammered again, again, and again, on every play all day.

[SwampFoot]

Then there are those who buy big billboards and mention their rival by a code name in every public appearance. After announcing the *******'s full.

In this case, the "enemy" is whatever team we just played.

The irony here is that no, you didn't catch Ole Miss doing what you do. You just caught yourself needing very badly the idea that Ole Miss is as obsessed as you are.

Quite funny.

 

[SwampFoot]

Might as well be State.

It's not that we don't care about State, it's just that we don't need your love or hate to exist.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Are you telling me Nutt gets a professionally-made bulletin board with the score and school logos installed in the locker room every week during the football season?

 

[8dog]

and calling it as we see it. I think its you that's trying too hard.

 

[GrooGruxDawg]

that you are so arrogant and stuck up your own *** that you have to make excuses to make yourself believe that Nutt's way of going about things makes him a better coach than mullen. please enlighten me and tell me just exactly what it is nutt has accomplished at ole miss or arkansas? he's nothing but a worn out retread who will never get you to atlanta.

If the Egg bowl once gain reaches the status it once had, you will have Dan Mullen to thank for it. His mentioning of UM, be it by another name, makes news on ESPN, or wherever it may be mentioned, and brings attention to the rivalry and both schools.

Gotcha. I will check back with you then. Until then, head on back to the spirit so you, Mississippi Kite, zricz, and the rest of the clowns over there can continue to convince yourselves that it is now okay to bring in someone with a lot of baggage. Hopefully it will b=work better for you than Hornsby did

It's like Roseanne Barr spitting on Tom Arnold. They hate each other with a passion, but, unless they're catfighting, nobody gives a F about them individually.
