Brief Shout-outs for the Weekend's Participants
I know he says he won't--he does this all of the time--but Whiskey Wednesday will get around to writing a post game report. It'll be mean. You'll love it. But, in the mean time, I'd like to give props, ups, or whatever the damn kids are calling it these days to the various personalities we Cuppers either had the pleasure of or misfortune to encounter over the past 48 hours or so.
- First, to Oklahoma State, Clemson, Georgia Tech, and other ranked teams who embarrassingly lost to their in-state, unranked rivals: this sucks. However, I do take some sort of solace knowing that the Rebels weren't the only team to suffer such misery today. It's like group therapy. We'll suffer together.
- Next, to the aged gentleman at the employ of the Canton, MS package store: I know you don't see many young suburban whites in your store, but don't look at us like we're up to no good next time. WW and I just wanted a lil' whiskey for the tailgate is all. Don't let us startle you. I will say though, you run a fine shop, sir. I'll be back.
- To good FotC Smeargle and his family: thanks for letting us use your fantastic digs for the weekend. WW and I undeservedly got to stay in this palatial home just off of campus; twas posh and convenient. The folks who live there even brewed us a pot of coffee and filled our bellies with biscuits and jelly the morning of the game. Afterwards, they dropped us off no further than 100 feet from the RedCupRebellion.com tent. Y'all is good people.
- To the barkeep at [BAR IN THE COTTON DISTRICT]: Thanks for being cool to an otherwise unruly group of Rebel bloggeurs.
- To the two young girls who invited themselves into our car: You left your cheesy gordita crunch wrappers all over the floorboards. Also, I'm sorry WW and I had to take Smeargle back to his fiancee. (An Aside: Whiskey Wednesday and I have decided that we have far too many friends who are either married or engaged to be so. We need more friends who aren't such. Tryouts will be in a few weeks.) We would have assuredly continued to party wherever it was that you were partying had we not been obliged otherwise. Also, if Smearlgle is able to upload the audio he took on his iPhone from the Taco Bell drive thru line, that'd be prime fanshot material.
- To Ivory Tower: Thanks for waking up über early to drive yourself and our tent up to Starkville the morning of the game. That was unexpected, yet a great move.
- To Juco All American's wife: Your bacon and egg casserole, or whatever that damn thing was, is divine.
- To Rhodestar (I don't know what all goofy symbols you use for your name): You're terrible. Your father, on the other hand, is not. Thank you for bringing him around. He's a damn riot.
- To the Mississippi Highway Patrolman who told us to "give 'em Hell" : I would have, had I been out there. I'm sorry our team played without any real effort whatsoever (OK I MEAN IT NO FOOTBALL TALK THAT IS WW'S JOB HERE).
- To the ticket scalpers: You can't fool me. I said thirty bucks and I'm paying thirty bucks.
- To the architect who designed Davis-Wade: I hope you've died by now. Society doesn't need you and your absurd structures. Why couldn't State just bowl around the part of their stadium with the goofy bleachers and their mini-screen? Why'd they feel the need to build a structure tall enough to see all the way into Tupelo?
- To the mangy-faced, curly-headed ginger sitting two rows in front of us: Fucking fuck off. Don't keep turning around and glaring at us after seemingly every single play just to see how we were taking it. I'm sorry that a few Ole Miss fans bought some tickets and decided to--egads--root for a team you hate, especially within earshot of you, no less! We're not animals in a damn zoo. Cut the eyeballin'. Also, until you can grow a real beard, shave that shit off of your mug.
- To the folks selling concessions at Davis-Wade: Y'all are nicer than the folks at Vaught-Hemingway, that's for damn sure.
- To the guy who confronted Ivory Tower as we were on the way back to our tent: You suck. I don't care that you're a good Rebel fan who didn't like the stuff Ivory was saying. I didn't like the stuff he was saying either, but I didn't get aggressive with the guy over it. I also don't care how big you think you are, because there were fucking four of us and one of you. I'm glad you weren't too drunk to step any further than you did.
- To the State fans with good senses of humor (this really is a good majority of them): Y'all are fine by me. We ribbed you before the game, and y'all got us after. We each had a cheap laugh at the expense of the other and went about our separate ways. That is, ideally, how this works.
- To the other motherfuckers: Die. In a fire. I'm sorry that we didn't let your petty, unoriginal nonsense get too far under our skin. "Hey Ole Piss whooooooo RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE we beat youuuuuu whooooooo RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE." Well. You did. It sucked. I was there. Hopefully we'll kick the horse shit out of you next season. Have fun watching us on television come New Years. "Hey whoooooo RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE you are a fag whoooooooo." Look, dude, stop. You're just being annoying now and have crossed the line from "rival fan talking some smack" to "antagonistic asshole." I'm sorry we're not bitches. I'm sorry we didn't cry, throw a tantrum, or stick our heads into the sand when you came by with your cowbells looking to start something. If the greatest thrill you can get right now comes from angering strangers whose football team just lost to your football team then you're pretty pathetic.
- To Stella at Strombolis: You're a doll. You brought us delicious pizzas and cold beer. You put up with Smeargle's lame Streetcar named Desire references. You cleaned up after our mess. And you did it all with a smile and a good attitude. Next time I'm in Starkville (NEVER), I'll buy another one of your fine pizzas.
- And finally, to the folks who participated in the game's open thread: thanks for the laughs.

You're welcome
wish there was more to laugh about. In the end it turned out Arkansas and Southern Miss ALSO lost today, my hubby forgot the carrots for the pot roast , Dirty Jobs got too gross once the “Raw Dog Food Factory” segment started, and “Wonder Boys” was overrated dreck. On the bright side I did get at least one more Christmas gift ordered, as well as the rest of the Christmas cards.And after crunching the numbers we’re 4th overall in the SEC, just behind Bama, Florida and LSU. So dxf04 was right, it WAS better they lost. If we’re lucky we’ll be in a somewhat warm place for a bowl, or at least climate-controlled.
Finally, another Hate Week is over. I can honestly say as an employee here that most people who actually work for and attend MSU aren’t that bad. The coeds put on their overpriced Nike shorts one leg at a time just like any other coed. Like most fandoms, it’s the redneck bandwagoners that make it suck for everyone else. Hope you had a little fun in Starkville, or at least as much as one can have here.
Jesus I can’t wait for next year’s Egg Bowl, so I can go to Oxford and cheer my fucking lungs out.

Actually
dxf04 was wrong. If Ark would have won, we would’ve finished 3rd in the SEC because all Ole Miss, Ark and LSU would have 4-4 conference records as does Tennessee and we beat all 3 (Ark, LSU, TN) of them.
If Ark would have won…
1 or 2: Florida
1 or 2: Alabama
3: Ole Miss 4-4 (beat on the field those below with same record)
4 or 5: LSU 4-4
4 or 5: Arkansas 4-4
6: Tennessee 4-4
DAMN IT TO HELL!!! I WAS going to say something nice about LSU... but my clock ran out.

Ah well shoot.
I was just going by over-alls, you’re right Bim Bam. Forgive me, it’s been a bad weekend for me. Two out of three of my alma maters lost, the third barely escaped, and now I’m worried for a team-that-shall-not-be-named on Monday.

I wasn't wrong.
I never said anything about conference rankings. I was simply talking about bowl placing. There’s a difference between being third in the conference and getting the third bowl pick. There’s no such thing as a tie-breaker for bowl placement, i.e., the head-to-head wins over LSU and Arkansas don’t hold as much weight as you might like. But, with the Arkansas loss, you’re in a toss-up for the Cap One and the Cotton. Had the Hogs won, you would have been in the running for either the Cotton or Liberty. All things considered, I think you’ll find that you prefer Arkansas losing, even if it means you’re not “third in the SEC” anymore, which is pretty meaningless. All that matters is first and second (the BCS bowls) anyways.
I officially
throw my name in the hat for your new friends, as I am pathetically neither married nor engaged….
There's a darkness on the edge of town.
And pathetically soliciting internet friends.
If you are that lonely, try one of those dating sites.
Breaking the no football rule, but...
Shay’s TD catch made #1 play on SC. Props to the dude.
audio iPhone footage is up
check out the recent fanshot, thanks for a blast of a weekend to the cuppers that were there….despite the loss, i had a helluva time
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL YAKNAWIMEAN?
I hate state fans
after Alabama Miss State game
state fan: so what did you think of the game?
Wade: well it went about as I expected, everyone’s been great. I really like how the tailgate is close to the stadium like this
State fan: well I think Alabama fans are obnoxious douche bags
yea because ringing a cowbell for three straight hours doesn’t make you an annoying fuck tard
Mr. state fan, it appears that you are a KA. I know this because I stole your cowbell with it’s cute little KA sticker and handle.
Terrence Cody eats your field goal!
I, too, have dined on delicious Stromboli's pizza
after a pitiful loss to MSU.
Lord help me…
Lee Corso: How would you describe tailgating at Alabama?
Kirk Herbstreit: Barbecue and Ralph Lauren
Hey, they're damn fine pizzas.
The cheese and toppings are run-of-the-mill, but that crust is legit. I know how goofy that sounds, but good crust on pizza is like good bread on a sandwich: it really does make that much of a difference.
