This is out of hand

Everyone gets so excited because they think we fell off our throne or something. There’s still a lot of season ahead, and it’s already been argued that the SEC west is the most competitive conference around.

We certainly didn’t deserve the win after that offensive showing, but like we all said here before…we didn’t put us at 4. Everyone else did.

I just deleted 2 of my friends on facebook for their anti-Ole Miss status updates after the game.

AS A FAITHFUL OLE MISS FAN FOR OVER 40 YEARS, I HAVE WATCHED THE GOOD AND BAD COACHES AND TEAMS COME AND GO AT OLE MISS. WHILE WE HAVE HAD SOME SUCCESS IN THE PAST, IT SEEMS WE CAN NEVER REACH THE LEVEL OF OTHER CHAMPIONSHIP PROGRAMS IN THE SEC. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IN THE FAN BASE, ATHLETHIC DEPT.,STATE SUPPORT, SCHOOL SUPPORT, STUDENT SUPPORT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE PLAYERS. AS A CASE IN POINT, WE HAD AN EXCELLENT 2008 DEFEATING BOTH FORMER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS ON THE ROAD IN FLORIDA AND LSU. WE GO ON TO HAVE AN EXCELLENT SEASON AND BEAT TEXAS TECH IN THE COTTON BOWL. WE ENTER 2009 WITH A GREAT NEUCLEUS OF PLAYERS COMING BACK PLUS A WONDERFUL RECRUITNG CLASS OF 08 AND 09. WE START OUT WITH TWO LOW END PROGRAMS FOR OUR FIRST TWO OPPONENTS AND AVG 45 POINTS IN OUR FIRST TWO GAMES ON TV. WE ARE ENJOYING A TOP 5 RANKING DURING THE FIRST TWO WEEKS BUT OUR LOCAL MEDIA IN JACKSON HARDLY REPORTS ON THE REBELS AND WHEN THEY DO REPORT IT IS NEGATIVE NEWS. NOW IF YOU ARE IN GAINSVILLE, FLORIDA LISTENING TO A TV STATION THEY ARE PROMOTING THEIR TEAM AT EVERY CHANCE BEING POSITIVE AND UPBEAT BUT NOT HERE IN MISSISSIPPI. WHY YOU ASK? BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BE POSITIVE ABOUT OUR TEAMS LIKE OTHER SCHOOLS DO. DID YOU SEE THE SOUTH CAROLINA FANS LAST NIGHT BOTH OLD AND YOUNG CHEERING FOR THIER TEAM ? YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS AT OLE MISS ! IT WOULDN’T BE COOL ! WE WERE THE 4TH RANKED TEAM IN THE COUNTRY LAST NIGHT AND WE COULDN’T EVEN TAKE OUR CHEERLEADERS TO THE GAME IN SOUTH CAROLINA OR A SMALL BAND TO HELP OUR REBELS ! WELL, LOOK AT FLORIDA WHEN THEY TRAVEL AND CHECK OUT TEXAS AND OTHER CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS THAT TOTALLY SUPPORT THEIR TEAMS WHEN THEY ARE RANKED AS THE 4TH BEST TEAM IN THE USA. THEN OUR LACK OF HUSTLE BY OUR PLAYERS ON NATIONAL TV AS EVIDENCED BY WALKING ON AND OFF THE FIELD AND BEGGING TO COME OUT OF THE GAME, OUR COACHING STAFFS LACK OF PREPERATION IN HAVING OUR TEAM READY TO PLAY AT THE SEC LEVEL, AND OUR ILL PREPARED PLAY CALLING WHICH WHEN SOME PLAYERS ARE NOT PERFORMING DID NOT HAVE OUR BEST 11 PLAYERS ON THE FIELD. THIS REFLECTS ON THE HEAD COACH. OUR DEFENSIVE EFFORT WAS EXCELLENT AND THOSE YOUNG MEN DESERVE OUR HEARTFELT THANKS. THEY REPRESENTED OLE MISS LIKE TEAMS OF THE PAST HAVE EVEN WHEN WE WERENT THEBEST OUR OPPONENTS AND VIEWERS WOULD SAY THOSE OLE MISS REBELS WILL PLAY YOU A FOOTBALL GAME EVERYTIME AND THEY ALWAYS GIVE YOU EVERYTHING THEY HAVE. WELL NOT LAST NIGHT IT WAS SO EMBARRASING AS THE WALKED EVERYWHERE AND BEGGED TO COME OUT . THE FIRST TEAM OFFENSE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BENCHED INCLUDING THE WORST OFFENSIVE LINE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. THE PENALTIES SAY ALOT ABOUT OUR EXECUTION AND OUR READINESS TO PLAY A SCHOOL THE QUALITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. WE HAVE NO MASCOT , THE ONLY SCHOOL IN THE SEC AND NOW OUR TEAM IS DISPLAYING THIS TYPE OF LACKLUSTER PERFORMANCE ON NATIONAL TV. I REALLY DONT CARE ABOUT THE RANKING AS MUCH AS I DO ABOUT THOSE MENS PRIDE AND CHARACTER. I HAVE BEEN PROUD TO BE AN OLE MISS FAN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE BUT ALL OLE MISS FANS,ATHLETHIC DIRECTOR, STATE OFFICALS, NEWS MEDIA, ETC NEED TO LEARN TO BE POSITIVE WHEN ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS IS IN THE NATIONAL LIMELIGHT AND WE ALL NEED TO RALLY TO PROMOTE MISSISSIPPI FOR ALL OF US . REBELS KEEP YOUR HEADS UP AND DONT LOSE ANOTHER ONE!

Gonzo is really embarrassing to our state. In reality i know how your Rebel fans feel. It always seems like Arkansas can never win the games they need to or never live up to expectations.
