re: Being an Ole Miss fan sucks (a melt thread by Landmass)

You seem to be a true supporter of your school and not one of the typical "hate everything Ole Miss" fans that I see from MSU. I used to root for MSU quite a lot actually. My grandmother went there and half my family are MSU supporters. When Mullen was hired, he turned the focus more to hating Ole Miss. The rivalry became toxic and a good bit of your fans made it their aim to take down Ole Miss. Visting Ole Miss message boards will show you post after post of complaining about coaches and such. If you visit MSU message boards, more time than not, you will see threads about Ole Miss. What Mullen did for the rivalry was not good and not healthy. I am hoping that Moorhead and whatever coach Ole Miss has can make the rivalry fun again and less toxic.

Talk about throwing stones at glass houses. I don't know how old you are. But, I have been around since at least the mid-80's and grew up in the state. The rivalry was toxic as far back as the mid 80's by my memory. Billy Brewer lived and breathed to beat State. That's really all your fan base had back then.
