Yeah. I agree. We need to stop scheduling Ole Miss.
He's beat them 4 out of 5 times?

Hey hidolladawgs,

A) We lost our all-American LT, allowing your massively overrated DE (now DT) Chris Jones to camp out in the backfield. Heck, I'm 6'0, 175 and I could have sacked Bo Wallace at least twice in the Egg Bowl. God, Chris Jones is fat.

B) We're your big brother and, thus, your Super Bowl. Beating us is what drives all aspects of your program. Actually, not beating us, since y'all haven't done too much of that throughout history, but our success is what drives your program. It's okay to be second place, baby bro.

C) I bet you that if you and I fought in real life, I'd kick your arse.

D) Your women are fat.

E) People know where Oxford is.

F) I bet you use Miracle Whip.

G) We're not an embarrassment to the state of Mississippi.

H) I bet you've "accidentally" had sex with the fat roll of a Starkville plumper before and you're unashamed of it.

I) Why are you so Rebsessed?

J) Do y'all have an NFL hall of famer yet? Jackson State has more than y'all

K) I'd be willing to wager that you're fat as frick and have both early onset heart disease and the beetus.

Sssshhhh

That's a great excuse. 1 guy away from being able to score a TD. AWESOME!

Don't you hate it when you "little" brother is kicking your arse. Man that's gotta suck.

Cause the KKK marching and the riots there is applauded throughout the nation!

Bama will probably be most improved. A dline yhst can rush the passer for a change, cbs who now know what they are doing, and once again the best set of lbs top to bottom in the sec.

If you're an Egg Bowl outsider, don't try to butt in unless you have been granted permission by either engie, Bunty, sorantable, or pank.

Thanks.
