Separating fact from fiction re: The Egg Bowl

[Faustdog]

I keep hearing from bear fans (usually in their awkwardly whiney and effeminate voices) that Mullen and MSU care more about the egg bowl than Freeze and the bear team.

The facts just do not back this up. During the five seasons the bears have been led by their increasingly unkempt and disheveled looking beaver of a coach, they have managed a 3-2 record against us. During this same timeframe they have only managed to finish above us in the SEC standings one time.

It is them who put more emphasis on this one game, as they have clearly overperformed since the arrival of Job the beaver millionaire.

PS: Do you guys feel like we were playing out of love Saturday? I don't, and I'm completely ok with that.

Just recycling old excuses. They are people that, for the most part, spend their whole lives in faux reality. Fits the MO. Don't spend any time trying to change it -- it will be wasted.

 

[Philly Dawg]

They rushed the field after an egg bowl win. Nuff said.

 

[fishwater99]

LSU is their real rival.

Funny how we only care more about the game in the years we win it. I'm sure that's just a coincidence though. Their players sure seemed to care about it when they tried to start **** in the warmups before the game.

 

[Shamoan]

Funny they say that when they lose.

 

[Shamoan]

Btw, you took their bait. It's a stupid argument.

 

[Shmuley]

They only care about championships. -Fancy

They need that last game just as much as we do. They needed it last year to get their damn soon to be vacated Sugar Bowl.

 

[Faustdog]

It is a stupid argument, no doubt. I've just heard it so often I thought some basic facts needed pointing out. I also just really wanted to work Job The Millionaire Beaver into a post.

I had one long long long aged bear tell me that it was just another SEC West game Saturday so it didn't really matter ETA: He also mentioned that they gave the game to us anyway.

That's fine, but losing by 35, regardless of opponent, should piss you off and ratchet up your give a 17 meter a little bit.

 

[GloryDawg]

They are piss and hate the fact that they got their butts handed back to them by State. This is their way of denying the pain.

This bear might be long aged but he is resorting to the most childish excuse in the book. They were so desperate for 6 wins and a bowl they burned the redshirt off of a blue chip freshman QB with just three games left. Now your bear buddy is going to tell you with a straight face that with their last opportunity to get that 6th win they just gave us the game?

I agree they ultimately gave us the game after we bludgeoned them into quitting.

 

[Junction John]

Agree. They are piss.

I hope your friend is right. $4M a year is way too much money to pay our coach if he doesn't want to win the last game of the regular season badly. I actually can't imagine being OK with my coach and team losing at home, the last game of the year, and against an instate team because of a lack of motivation/effort/give a ****.
