Hate Week - SELA Lions

  Istockphoto_952583-crying-lion_medium
Watermark'd!

Am I really supposed to get fired up for this?  How?  What a damned downer of a home opener and, please, don't even bring up an App State over Michigan type of deal as some sort of reasoning as to why we shouldn't look past SELA.  We are going to beat them by approximately eleventy billion before letting white walkon defensive backs return pick sixes.

Hammond is an alright place though, I guess.  I can really only remember stopping there to get a pizza on my way home from New Orleans one weekend.  So, congrats SELA, you have pizza.

Let's just get this one over with.

Hammond

They have really good strawberries there. If any SELA fan (not sure they exist) comes to my tent, they had better bring some damned Hammond strawberries, lest they feel the wraith of Juco Justice.

nugget: according to city-data.com, Hammond is 4th on the least safest US cities list.

Yes, that one.

The wife and I took it for a long weekend in NOLA for her Bday. Only added an hour or so of travel time, more than worth it when you can safely drink (or sleep) while enroute. No, we did not get off of the train in Hammond.

Fall Scrimmage.....

We should almost sit Snead out this one and let Stanley and the backups get some snaps. This one will be a laugher, alot like LA Monroe last year. 63-3 Ole Miss rolls.

BTW – SELA is actually 2-0 and looks like they put up some points, however, I’m sure they will be jittery since the largest crowd they’ve played in front of this year was TX A&M – Commerce, in front of 5200 people. Yes, less than a South Panola game…..

Considering so many starters missed practice time last week...

I could see Nutt sticking with them a little longer than expected/planned just to work on timing, communication, etc. You called it a scrimmage, well then if that is the case, use it that way to work on things that were obviously wrong at Memphis with the starting group. Gotta be running on all cylinders next Thurs and the following Sat if we wanna be 4-0 on 10/10. Best way to get up to game speed is to play, even if it is against an inferior opponent.

I expect us to muddle through this one like we did Samford last year. Coming off the flu, and with a short week next week, we won’t play our best, but we’ll still win by about 30.

No 50 point wins this weekend though.

Hammod also has another local delicacy

Hi-ho BBQ – awesome sandwiches and really the only place in Hammond that you need to visit since the ’ounge closed down.

I’m sure that little nugget will help each of you develop the appropriate level of hate for this weekend.

actually Hammond is the only stop worth a shit between Oxford and New Orleans. and thats only to hit up a drive thru daquiri

Keep drivin' then mofo.

I mean seriously where do you closeminded isolated rednecks get your silly-ass senses of superiority & sweeping prejudices?? Or are you just compensating for something really, really small?

You really confuse me.

So are you an Ole Miss fan who lives in Hammond or something?

by The Ghost of Jay Cutler on Sep 14, 2009 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

No, it's really simple

I’m an Ole Miss fan who lives south of Oxford and north of Hammond. Who loves trash talking other teams – big difference (to me) in saying, for example, “fuck you GonzoHog” (approved), “Razorbacks suck” (also approved) and “Arkansas is a shithole state w/ no redeeming qualities” (disapproved). Be specific, precise, say what you really mean.

My only experience with SELA fans occurred this past year in Baton Rouge for the Ole Miss-LSU game. My friends and I were minding our own business sitting on the hill waiting for the LSU band to march down to the stadium (which is really cool to see, by the way) when we were approached my a random late 50’s woman. Sporting of course blue jeans and a purple and gold windbreaker, she started asking us questions about going to Ole Miss, where we were from, etc. What was strange was that she seemed very interested in us, but was in no way friendly. She would ask us a question, we would politely answer (for realz, we hadn’t even been drinking), and she would just nod her head and look off in the distance.

After about 15 minutes of this, we did learn a few facts about her: she was born and raised in Picayune as an Ole Miss fan, but when she moved to Louisiana she became a LSU fan because “if you live here you can’t be nothin’ else”. Following the natural progression of conversation I asked her “So you went to LSU?” “No”, she said," I went to Southeastern. But everyone there’s a LSU fan anyway."

She then proceeded to give Ole Miss backhanded compliments about how they’re pretty good but will get whupped by LSU because they always do blah blah blah. Eventually she just walked off, not telling us she hoped we enjoyed our trip or “good luck today” or whatever. Just walked away.

Anways, to the redneck SELA grad, walkon LSU fan who gave us no respect before Ole Miss beat that ass for three hours, I have three words for you- Land. Motherfucking. Shark.

On a scale of persecution to cordial, that encounter sounds actually civilized.

There’s a lot of that (people who go to smaller schools, but root for the larger one) in a lot of places. I know a lot of people who attended/graduated from Arkansas State who are diehard Hog fans (and were while they were in college as well). Conversely, while at LSU, I ran into a lot of people from areas like Lafayette, north Lousiana (like Ruston), etc., who absolutely wet their pants laughing when LSU lost.

by artiger on Sep 14, 2009 5:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

Oh, it was definitely civilized. It’s just at some point in the conversation I realized that this chick was just being a passive-aggressive bitch, and it caught me off guard. I absolutely understand that much worse stuff happens at every SEC game to visiting fans.

by JimHalpert on Sep 14, 2009 5:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

Civilized was the part that surprised me in your tale.

Some of our fan base, seemingly a disproportionate share that did not attend LSU, tends to overweight the “aggressive” portion of passive-aggressive. As I got about midway through the story, I thought it was going to end with saliva, urine, stool, or emesis.

by artiger on Sep 14, 2009 6:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

So......

That means SELA is the poor man’s LSU? Oh that got my blood a boilin! Let’s play all starters the entire game to shut them the F down!!!

When I think of lousiana I think of someon emptying a colosomy bag on my body. Except I enjoy the bag more.

See my comments above.

Granted, for one brief shining moment, our team is ranked No. 5 in the country – we can be proud of that w/o trashing entire neighboring STATES, can’t we? WTF makes you feel so fucking superior?

I didn't come here to be nice.

by No Quarter on Sep 14, 2009 9:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

It just comes with territory

Do you know how many timed I have defended ole miss for being racist, rich, retarded, rednecks? A lot. It’s called trash talking. We are going to take advantage of this ranking as much as possible because it hasn’t been this high as long as most of us have been alive. It’s not that we feel superior, it’s that we KNOW we are superior.

by TheBraveDude on Sep 14, 2009 9:48 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

I would trash rhode island if we were playing them bro. Chill.

I have family in New Orleans and spend a

ton of time there. Louisiana is fine by me.

I’m with you here in that state bashing isn’t my style. I remember Arkansas fans coming on here and trying to do the same against we Mississippians not so long ago. So, along the “fuck you Arkansas trolls” line, I’m going to avoid the practice myself. There are shitholes in every state so people in glass houses, yadda yadda yadda.

Now shit talking opposing teams, coaches, fans, etc. I can be a champ at that.

by The Ghost of Jay Cutler on Sep 14, 2009 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Now, what I really wanted to comment on

was this bullshit:

“before letting white walkon defensive backs return pick sixes”

I thought you guys were all about “changing the culture of Ole Miss athletics” – if you mean that then you ought to reconsider making snide racial comments. Why do you need to use “white” as a modifier? Do you think there is ONE Div 1-A team (& corresponding set of fans) in America who can less afford even a whiff of racist innuendo

Why are you never happy with anything?

Go away. No one likes you. That’s sounds like something children would say on a playground, but in this case, I’m completely serious. This is a free board where anyone can say anything they damn well please. If you want something different, go to ESPN or Scout. If not, deal with it.

by HolmesReb on Sep 14, 2009 10:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

That's what I was thinking, too . . .

That

“This is a free board where anyone can say anything they damn well please.”

And I don’t think I said what I damn well please to Jay C. very well. I know you are no racist, just saying don’t give ’em a club to beat you with.

And what I damn well feel like saying on this free board to you, Sherlock Holmes, is that your ignorance is showing. Fuck off.

No offense

But I think you are taking things a little too seriously. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a huge fan of hating on states/entire populations. But I don’t think anyone is that serious in their thoughts on Louisiana.

by unidentified black male on Sep 15, 2009 2:31 AM EDT up reply actions  

For the record

I like No Quarter. I may not agree but I do get his point. Also, he hated on Gonzo pretty hard in one thread which is always a good way to impress the Cupdaters.

First, I think you overestimate the popularity of this blog.

I read this site every day, but it’s not like the New York Times is trolling here to get story ideas.

Second, lighten up Francis. If this is a country where I can on longer enjoy the deceptively fast possession receiver with great hands, a strong work ethic, and fantastic grades, then I’m not sure I want to live here anymore.

by JimHalpert on Sep 15, 2009 12:22 AM EDT up reply actions  

Will do.

But I didn’t see any reference in the piece to strong work ethic and fantastic grades, just to “white”. Was that a code word after all?

Speaking of "white"...

Did you see JSU has a white center and a white kicker? Just saying…

It's simple! Not serious.

Half of my family live in baton Rouge and I have many many friends in new Orleans. But guess what? As soon as lsu week rolls around, I will slam them and they will slam the state of Mississippi. Racism is off limits! but questioning whether or not the entire state’s
population is full of inbreeds is fine by me. Even though it may seem harsh, it’s mostly good natured….mostly. Stop being so up I’m arms about shit. This is collgege football and you better get used to it cuz it ain’t gonna change.

by TheBraveDude on Sep 14, 2009 10:29 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

One more thing

Although I said state smashing is alright, I actually meant fan smashing is alright. But in the case of Louisiana, it’s perfectly alright to smash then because they’re all LSU fans. State smashing still isn’t that bad though…

if you had given me an over/under at number of comments set at 5, I would have gone with the under.

I was just thinking the exact same thing

I spent literally 3 minutes on this. I googled “crying lion” before making a brief mention of a pizza place in hammond in a post with maybe 100 words.

Thanks everyone. Y’all make dreams come true.
