Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

What's on? October 7

Ole Miss is playing NAU which is basically an excuse for those of us out of town to "watch the game" while lazily grilling the delicious, fatty portions of some walking hunk of corn-fed biomass while drinking a few cheap cold ones and [ILLICIT DRUG USE REDACTED].  Those in town will half-fill the stadium, leave at halftime, then eat cold chicken tenders in the Grove while immediately regretting the decision to spend money on travelling to and from Oxford in order to watch the Rebels play a cupcake opponent in November.

So yeah, we'll watch it, albeit unenthusiastically.  What else is on though?  As far as I am concerned, I will be watching:

(maybe) Northwestern @ Iowa

Sakerlina @ Arkinsaw

Ellessyoo @ Allabammarowtahd

Navy @ Notre Dame

Ohio State @ Penn State

(maybe) Vanderbilt @ Florida

My hate of Nick Saban and all things Alabama have me rooting for LSU today. I’m a bad Rebel. :( I’ll probably try to watch it at home and leave the Ole Miss game early enough to go to Brass Monkey, get a 6 dollar pitcher of Blue Moon, and watch the SEC screw Vandy from that game (in the small chance that the game is close).

I'm so torn!!!

My hatred of LSU is even worse than what I have for MSUxx, but Nick Satan and the red elephants are waaaay up on my shit list. Fuck it, I’m going for Bama so I don’t have to listen to the idiots I work with from LSU.

i didnt hear TSWRA

during the pregame announcers gig….granted i could barely hear the band in the background, but the fact that the “nation” couldnt hear it on the WIDE broadcast of CSS against NAU could be considered a plus

They haven't said a word about the whole thing...

…tonight.

I heard the sweet sounds of FDWL, but I believe it might have been a cd. They use the Band’s cd for bumper music sometimes coming in from and going out to commercial breaks, so it MIGHT have been the recording.

Of course

there had to be those 5 students with the DIXIE letters painted on their chests and TV just had to have a closeup of that.

What’s wrong with some students painting up DIXIE? It says nothing in support of TSWRA but only in support of keeping Dixie as the fight song for our beloved university.

You don't think

the rest of the nation equates Dixie with racist south? Ok then…

Dixie has never been the Ole Miss fight song.

Forward Rebels is the fight song. I’m not anti-Dixie per se, but I think Bim Bam has a point.

by The Ghost of Jay Cutler on Nov 8, 2009 12:32 PM EST up reply actions  

I know Dixie is not the official fight song but nothing gets the fans pumped up like Dixie. I guess if the nation equates Dixie with racism that will be the next tradition to go…And no I don’t think TSWRA is a tradition I hope this is the end of that issue.

by UMReb on Nov 8, 2009 4:48 PM EST up reply actions  

i can tell none of you have read shelby foote's magnum opus of late...

“dixie” was an extremely popular song during the 1860s and the bands of both armies played it with regularity. it’s only later that it’s geographic connotation became paramount in terms of it’s meaning.

Did everyone pretty much read the linked article in The DM about the segregationist? He was at the game and dudes were taking their picture with him. Also, there was one jackass with a confederate flag that he snuck in and the group of people he was with passed it around to keep it waving the whole time.

by 7thYearJunior on Nov 7, 2009 10:33 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

thanks for the game thread...

People, we’re in a better position than we were this time last year. Don’t let Kirk Herbstreit et al. ruin this season. The fact that we can still make the Cotton Bowl is incredible. Before ‘03 Eli, had you seen us plan in a Cotton Bowl? If you had, you’re old. Here’s to Ole Miss winning out and going to Dallas. Go Rebs!

by Hunter C. on Nov 8, 2009 12:23 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

You seriously

think we’re going to beat Tennessee and LSU? We couldn’t even play a good game today. Against a DII school, Snead’s passing percentage was 52% I think was the number I saw. The O-line was worse without Bradley Sowell – which itself is sad. The pass defense was horrid.

I’m calling it now. See you in the Independence Bowl or Liberty Bowl, unless we lose to MSUx – then I’ll see you in the toilet bowl.

I'll be happy

to host all of my RCR friends at my place in Shreveport for a party after the Independence Bowl because I think that’s where we’ll be heading. This is a “good” thing for only me, as it means I won’t have to pay for a hotel room. And while I’ll likely get to come home after the game and sleep in my own bed, I’d much rather be shelling out money to play in a New Years Day game in Dallas.

And, BimBamOleMissByDamn, for the record, UNA is not DII. They’re in the Big Sky Conference, which is in the “FCS,” or D-IAA for us old school people. DI-AA schools still get to play in the NCAA DI basketball tournament, they just don’t compete on the same level for football. DII is a completely different entity. Delta State is DII which means they compete against other DII schools across the board.

Thanks for the correction

I know that about UNA but was typing fast. Thanks for catching that for me.

You fuckwads get just as caught up with race as you do sports.

Racist south? Who the fuck wasn’t racist in that day and age?
The Civil fucking War wasn’t even fought over the damn slaves to begin with. It had more to do with money and control over the South than anything. There wasn’t some kind of big-ass, rightous movement to ensure everyone’s freedom.
How about we just delete “Dixie” altogether from the english language? Let’s burn all confederate flags and throw the people in jail that would wave them.
Hey, here’s one. Let’s just insert brain-chips in the back of everyones skull, program them to forget every fucking bad thing we’ve ever done as an American society, so we can all be happy, gay and giggity n shit. Hell, we can just take all free rights to our own opinions away, so we can make sure that no one has any prejuduce feelings towards any other human being.
Maybe that way, all you rightous folk down Ole Miss way can blend in with upper-society.

I guess the difference

between Arkansas and Ole Miss, besides the fact that we win when we play Arkansas and set Gonzo into a pig-shit frenzy, is that most of us Ole Miss fans actually care about our public image and have enough common sense to know that things associated with the “old South” aren’t exactly good for said image.

Ole Miss football 2009. I shaved my balls for this?

by BimBamOleMissByDamn on Nov 8, 2009 1:57 PM EST up reply actions  

Look, I get that you hate Gonzohog.

But Arkansas doesn’t exactly cling to the “Old South” like OM (and Mississippi as a whole) does. What public image concerns does UA have that OM doesn’t? Last time I checked, “Woo Pig Sooie” didn’t have a border-line racist interpretation. Hell, the Mississippi state flag has a damn Confederate flag imbedded into it, and when they state was given the opportunity to rectify it in 2001, it was fairly soundly defeated. I’ve been silently floating around here for the past few weeks, getting informed about FDWL “controversy”; quite frankly, it was eye opening.
But, there’s something I don’t understand at this point: Students can’t paint themselves with the word “dixie”, but you’re fighting to keep FDWL?

by dxf04 on Nov 8, 2009 2:29 PM EST up reply actions  

I am?

I don’t think I’ve said anywhere in RCR that I wanted to keep FDWL. In fact, I haven’t given my opinion on it one way or the other. But if you want my opinion on FDWL: It’s not our fight song. Never has been. Wouldn’t bother me one bit if it was to go away.

I didn't mean you personally.

I meant the board in general. I didn’t realize that you weren’t in agreement with the sentiment FDWL is a tradition, sans TSWRA.

by dxf04 on Nov 8, 2009 5:35 PM EST up reply actions  

FDWL is a fantastic tradition.

And the song is beautifully symbolic. It combines Dixie with the Battle Hymn of the Republic, symbolizing the re-unification of the United States after the Civil War.

When you say...

“things associated with the “old South” aren’t exactly good for said image", are you refering to your suppposed new image?
What your saying is that you can’t bring up your own history in the form of song, banner, dress, etc…, without it reminding all outsiders of all the bad shit they believe it stands for.
That sounds to me like they have a personal problem. Maybe it is YOU that should not want to be like THEM. That’s the kind of action required of a KISS-ASS, rather than someone who is there OWN man

And I see your still gushing over that big win. Whoo hoo!
What will you say if Arkansas finishes with a better record and bowl game?

I will say

at least we beat Arkansas, 2 years in a row and made GonzoHog pig-shit crazy.

In case you haven't noticed the activitieas in D.C....

…that is exactly where Emperor Obama is taking us.

Follow his ideals and plan or you get a bullet in the back of the skull.

Make no mistake, when a group as large as the one in this PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION are enamoured by Mao, Che’, Castro, and Chavez (among others), this is where they WANT to take us.

So playing the song Dixie, displaying Confederate Battle Flags, and calling yourswelf the Rebels starsd looking pretty radical in the eyes of the thought police from Washington.

Now

it’s Obama’s fault. I was wondering how long it’d be before I saw someone say that here at RCR. I’m impressed that it took 6 months.

How'd you get SIX months out of that?

And it didn’t necessarily have to be BHO. It COULD have been Hillary…OR McCain…

They all were progressives who are working to the same end at different speeds.

My jab was not at BHO specifically…but at the Washington elite in the administration driving us away from free speech and thought.

That’s all. I’m not so naive as to blame all Ole Miss’ problems on BHO. Our PC problems started WAAAAAYYYY before BHO decided he’d kinda like to be the prez.

Let me start by saying I don’t agree with a damn thing Gonzo just said. But seriously guys, how about for at least the next week we try not to even talk about this whole situation. I feel like we are just beating a dead horse here. It will work itself out the way we know (and everyone else knows) it should. So for the time being let’s just try to forget about it and focus on some (hopefully decent) football for the next few weeks. Just a suggestion. Please don’t be mad. :(
P.S. If no one agrees with any of this, then totally forget I ever said it. Oh yeah, and hotty toddy. Let the Eddy O hate begin!

I personally think that FDWL is gone...

The students were louder than ever in cheering it…and they left after they got a chance to do it. Everyone just came to prove a point. I was so ashamed.

I was sitting on the left side of the student section and could barely hear it, but friends of mine did say that it was loud in the center of the end zone.

He was suspended earlier in the year for the Southeastern Lousiana game but had to play because of the swine flu outbreak in the football team.

actually..

I think Dex did play in a handful of plays. I did hear HDN say they used Dex as a decoy on a couple of plays.
