Why Hate State?

We, my friend, have a lot in common, about the mutual “in state” hate. I ,remind you, am the good rebel that led you to the piece of gold that is state’s last trip to the promised land where the famous “we drive tractors and they sue people” quote came from.
I , As a matter of fact, am about twelve deep in starkville, and am dealing with the “well if ron polk coached football” mess, but

Fuck Mississippi state. Seriously. Fuck them in the fucking gay assholes (no offense BigBam or anyone else. Seriously). When we win tomorrow, I hope that I don’t get any “next year will be different!!!” Mead bullshit.

Seriously am thankful for RCR and the fact that it is a really good blog and all… But the Bin and all their mess is sad: “if tyson were 5 inches taller we’d have beat LSU and Houston and GT”. How-fucking-ever… There happens to be a few hardcore rebs that want a double 45; 90 to nothin this year hahahaha….. I’ll take a vic. Amywhichway at all

My mother is one of the more gen-teeeeeel of the Southern wimmenfolk. She’s 85 now and never misses an Ole Miss game. Still, growing up in New Albany and graduating from W.P. Daniel High, she learned early of all things maroon and white. (They used to get the used, worn out band uniforms from moo u for their high school.) So she has worked hard to shape my emotions toward moo u in the general “love ’em ’til we play ’em” style.

It didn’t work.

Now, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping they’d beat bama…because I HAAAATE bama with a white-hot, seathing hate. But in the end, it didn’t bother me that they lost to the West Alabama Idol Worshipers.

Every year something classless comes out of moo u that helps solidify my hate for them. Several years ago it was the big fit they threw after they won on a last-second field goal and then this big-ass, cow-jockey lineman hit one of our cheerleaders (a sweet girl from Tupelo, whom I shant name because she might not want it mentioned w/o her permission) so hard she went smack down into the mud and then refused to help her up.

Where I come from, that’s assault.

I guess the big, strong, frightening cheerleader in the pleated dress and bloomers scared the wittle 300 lb lineman! Smooooth.

And of course, we can’t forget the pre-game brawl back in the Tuberville days that was broadcast to all the nation. Such style! Such pinache! These are the ways of the maroon and white!

So, sorry Mom. I just ain’t got no love in my heart for the hicks from redneck tech!

I went to a rural Pine Belt high school. I was one of maybe three Ole Miss fans there. I remember all to well those years when MSU would win the Egg Bowl and I would be harassed about it for an entire year. Stll, that isn’t where my hate comes from. I suppose I can understand that an inferior school gets a lot of pleasure from beating a superior in-state school. While it is really annoying, it at least makes some sense. What really annoys me is the year Arkansas beat us in 7 overtimes. I was reminded of this game by State fans for several years after that. That is what makes me hate MSU. The fact that the only thing that matters to them is that we lose. Honestly most weeks I don’t know State’s final score until I read it on ESPN by accident. I don’t feel any happier when they lose or sadder when they win. I cannot understand why they define themselves by everything we do. They are a sad group really. They down our Powetron by building a one foot bigger one for themselves… It sounds so much like an inferiority complex. They constantly talk about the Ole Miss stereotype and try to make being successful somehow sound like a bad thing. None of this makes sense to me. They even care about us when their season is over. Ghost can vouch for this story. This past summer when we lost to UVA in the super regional I received a text message making fun of Ole Miss from a State friend. I quickly refuted his stupidity by pointing out State wasn’t even in a super regional. He said that didn’t matter. Then I reminded him of the Egg Bowl score, to which he responded, and this is where it gets real crazy, “if just a couple things had gone differently State could have won the Egg Bowl.” That is pure insanity. I understand wishing the best for your team. I am always an optimist about Ole Miss. However, there or times when you just accept being destroyed and move on. The Alabama game this year is a fine example. Our defense kept it close for much of the game, but we never had a chance. State should accept that. In order for the Egg Bowl’s outcome to be changed by a “couple” things an asteroid would have had to hit our locker room and our most athletic practice team players would have needed to contract the swine flu. That’s just how it was last year. It happens. They’ll probably win the game again one day, I hope not, but they probably will. However, last year they didn’t, and nothing suggested they even showed up.

I’m going to get off my soapbox of hate now, but State fans have annoyed me into hating them. They’re like emo kids. They feel so sorry for themselves that you just start to hate them for sucking so bad.

…getting the fuck out of Starkville and watching the Egg Bowl from the comfort of Rebel-friendly territory. Goddammit I can’t wait to get tenure. I know, I know, if I were a good Rebel I never would have applied for a position at State, much less interviewed for and accepted one. YOU try saying no in this economy…I can’t even openly cheer for my team on Facebook! This sucks.

it’s another game that if we don’t blow out the other team it is considered a failure on our part. we should hate them for wasting our time ever year. and those fucking cowbells, which they only bring because their crowd would sound pathetic without them.
