re: NOA response to be released today....

I just read some of the rant posts. I usually don't indulge myself with reading what others think about Ole Miss, but with the story coming out about the Egg Bowl and how fan bases on both sides have gotten more and more fanatic, I wanted to take a look for myself to see what was being said.

What I read wasn't just Ole Miss and state fans going after each other, but as a whole it appears the entire SEC is very scared of Ole Miss.

The only way to justify Ole Miss' success in their eyes is that Ole Miss' is somehow cheating their way to the top. Because obviously, it's the only way to get there.

It's sad in a way, why those who have enjoyed success can't see others have any. None of these folks were around in the 50's and 60's when Ole Miss was a great football program. We carried that racist tag through the 70's and 80's and now that athletes are coming to Ole Miss to see it for themselves it doesn't work for other schools to use the race card. The new card now is, "but they are cheaters." As with the "race card allegations there's no more cheating going on at Ole Miss than racism at other schools.

I hope to see the Rebels in ATL in the near future. It's obvious no one else wants or thinks we can get there.

But we didn't become Rebels because it was going to be easy.
