re: Honest Question--Has Ole Miss football program Surpass LSU?

Be honest, you wish you could buy an Ole Miss championship t-shirt at Wal-Mart

Ole Miss hasn't even surpassed Arkansas yet

Enjoy a cold, refreshing down vote with your mama

Ole Miss's biggest football accomplishment is beating Alabama in the regular season. So, no.

LSU:
Last national title, 2007
Last SEC title, 2011
Last losing season, 1999

So the last time LSU won anything special was 2011? Seems to support the thread's premise.

What is the date for Ole Miss's last:

Sec Championship?
National title?
Losing season?


The point, guy, is that LSU actually has won something meaningful.

But they beat us bad at home this year so they're surpassing our program!!?!???!?!? Sigh

They have potential but every year they have letdowns like at Florida and at Memphis. Beating Bama is a big deal, however. Bama doesn't lose much.

Ole Miss definitely beat the crap out of us this year, but most of us weren't even mad because we thought les was packing his bags and soon to be ousted, especially after that display.

If they ever make it to ATL and win a championship, then we can have the conversation again.

I can see you are still hurt after Bert out coached Freeze two years in a row.

Listing historical wins and accomplishments is pointless, as the question was aimed at the current state of the program. Ole Miss has for the first time in my lifetime established themselves as a long term threat and becoming a national program. The 2016 season and schedule will be tough, even with a proven quarterback. I think our offense and quarterback play will keep us competitive, and possibly in the hunt. I'd say we are currently neck and neck with LSU for a strong second in the West. To say we have surpassed LSU will take a trip and win in Atlanta, with our best shot being the 17-18 campaigns. That also assumes LSU stays on their current path and doesn't improve, which I'm not hopeful for. Les is still bringing in talent, and has what it takes to make a run for it as soon as this season. All he needs is a serviceable quarterback and a some changes to the offense. As stubborn as he might be, I think he opens it up some this year. Not sure if it works, but I think he will.

So no, we have not surpassed LSU, but I truly believe we are tied with them right now. If Les has another mediocre year or two and proves he doesn't have what it takes and we win the SEC, then we can rehash this topic. I honestly think our best chance to jump them as a program will be Les getting fired and we pull ahead as LSU transitions with a new coach...or he just continues to underachieve and stays on board while our projection continues upward.

Cliff Notes for the hungover: No. We have to win something first, and LSU has to not improve. Right now we're tied, and most likely will stay that was for the foreseeable future with both programs capable of making a run for it all the next few years.
