Some Mostly False, Subliminally Bigoted Nonsense | The Daily Mississippian
Why did I even link this? Oh well, another regrettable decision in a long line of such for The Ghost of Jay Cutler, it seems. If reading this doesn't make you hate Ole Miss, even a little, deep down inside, then you're likely a pretty stupid person. The Cup will continue her vailiant fight to promote the apparently insane ideal of having people admiring our university for things like athletic achievement, academics, and alumni successes. Crazy, huh? Chancellor Jones, I publicly (as publicly as an "anonymous" bloggeur can) support your efforts to combat the ignorance which breeds the harmful stereotypes harbored by not only Ole Miss, but the Deep South in general. Thank you, sir.

Lookin' good, if you ask this guy. Not only will the basketball practice facility provide our mens and womens roundballers with the types of amenities afforded to the football and baseball teams, but it also occupies a patch of campus which was once the parking lot in which Alabama fans parked their RV's. Two birds, one very large stone.

SEC Suspends Officiating Crew | ArkansasSports360.com
Good, because those guys suck. I also think many of the rules which they're shackled by suck--such as excessive celebration. The whole system sucks, but at least Mike Slive recognized a shortcoming and fixed it. That guy is the best league commissioner in major American athletics, period.

Second Half Outlook: Ole Miss | ESPN
Chris Low says we'll repeat last year's record and make it to the Cotton Bowl once again. While somewhat disappointing in that it will have meant we showed no improvement from year to year, it should still be exciting for Rebel fans. Lest y'all forget, we have not appeared in two consecutive NYD Bowls since color television. Also, here's Arkansas' outlook.

Huh?

Why would I hate Ole Miss because some idiot student wrote a stupid letter to the DM? If having stupid people associated with the university caused me to hate it, the Spirit board would’ve done that a long time ago.

I don't hate Ole Miss per se.

If I did, I wouldn’t run this website. I hate the fact that I’m forced to be associated with these morons. I also hate the fact that people use the things said and done by these morons to judge me.

When I first read that letter to the editor

I thought it had to be a joke. Just look at the title. It might as well be, “they turk ouur jubs.*” I was convinced hat no one could seriously make that crazy of an argument. Then I read the whole letter. I was wrong, but fortunately that idiot is convinced that this should make him stop supporting Ole Miss, which in my mind is a good thing. So if this decision makes a bunch of dumb people stop acting as dumb people do while be associated with Ole Miss, I say win!

On our team...

if we go to another Cotton Bowl, that’s a success for me. We had some pre-season hype this year, but in reality, we are not a nationally elite team this year. We don’t have the OL or the depth.

And as far as year to year progress, that’s not going to happen. Improvement isn’t linear in college football because players can only play 4 years and you have to replace them.

We’re going to take a step back in 2010 because we lose about 13 starters off this team. Ideally, we’ll build back up in 2011 and hopefully hit another high in 2012. I could accept two NYD bowls back to back for the first time since integration.

As for the first article, I hope that guy transfers and gives his loyalty to another school. It’s guys like that who make me want to go over to the student section and punch everyone in the face who says TSWRA.
