If any of you happened to catch the Ole Miss/USM basketball game on TV a while back, it might have helped you to understand why we don't schedule USM in football.
About halfway through the second half, one of the USM players started talking crap to one of our players and it ended up turning physical.....with a technical foul being called on USM
Now, multiply that times about a hundred and you will have some idea of how not only their players, but their fans, behaved when we decided to drop them from the football schedule....
We finally agreed in good will to schedule them in basketball and baseball......and look at what happens......
Jealous hatred creates real problems and can get out of hand.....

Also, USM is a shite school and we would be the Super Bowl on their schedule. No win for us win or lose.

I'm fine with basketball and baseball, but State really screwed the pooch by scheduling them in football.

It's this. It's not what NJReb said. We've decided to start scheduling bigger schools for the future. Clemson, Georgia Tech, and Texas are all on future Ole Miss football schedules because our athletics administration has finally realized that bigger games, even in a loss, result in significantly more money for the program.

Have you ever, in your entire life, heard of a kid who had a chance to play in the SEC, choosing a CUSA school instead?
Seriously.....

GTFO...
There's just really no benefit to us playing them at football. None. The only recruits they "steal" from us are the ones that can't qualify academically for the university. i.e. DeAndre Brown.

It's just a two-year home and home in football in 2014 and 2015. We haven't played USM in B-ball since the NIT in 2001.

Oh yeah, because Southern has a longstanding tradition of snaggin' recruits that Mississippi State and Ole Miss wanted.
And before you say DeAndre Brown, remember, that kid was an LSU lock before committing to Southern. His grades were shite and everybody knew it. LSU and OM backed off on him causing him to commit to Southern.

+1 in my book.
USM is a solid football program, and I think its great for the entire State of Mississippi, that Mississippi State and Southern Miss stepped to the plate and agreed to play each other. I guess Ole Miss feels more comfortable scheduling Northern Arizona, UAB, Southeastern Louisiana and the Powerhouse that is MEMPHIS.
FWIW Southern Miss should have beat Ole Miss in basketball they led the ENTIRE second half until the last bucket by Ole Miss at the buzzer that won it.

LSU wouldn't be half as competitive as Ole Miss/MSU/USM are if they had 3 legit schools in their state.
Just sayin'

You do know, don't you, that Pete Boone "realized" that after I convinced him of it in a private meeting in his office......
I couldn't get him to schedule Big Ten teams, which I would have preferred, but I did convince him to schedule BCS conference teams.....and it had nothing to do with revenue, but rather with improving the profile of the program
And you have no idea what you are talking about if you don't know why Ole Miss won't schedule USM in football--it would be a guaranteed sell-out and then some, every single year, regardless of how weak either team was.......so it is most definitely not about the money....

there is no excuse. pretty much the entire SEC has played southern miss in the last 10-20 yrs except ole miss. yall are scared.
it has everything to do with your "were sooo much better than southern miss" attitude, except you cant prove it and are too afraid you'll find out its not true.
so thats why you wont play them and everyone else will. kudos to MSU.

We don't lose to schools like Rider and Richmond. Even if we play like shite. Sorry.

First of all, I have no faith in your bullshite story about having a private meeting with Pete Boone.
And guess what, a sellout crowd <<<<<< ESPN contracts and national broadcasts, idiot. Ticket sales aren't where the money is anymore. TV is.

Imagine how LSU fans would react if the SEC considered admitting Louisiana Tech or how Arkansas fans would react if it considered admitting Arkansas State.....and their hypocrisy will hit you like a streaking train...
The reason most of them are so sympathetic towards MSU is that they know it makes it harder for Ole Miss to be a full competitor--not impossible, but harder.......and amazingly, MSU fans don't see that they are just a pawn in the game that other SEC schools play in that regard....

Memphis has been dropped from our schedule for good. We start a series with Fresno State next season, with Texas in 2012, with Clemson in 2015, and with Georgia Tech in 2011 or something. To say we're scared to play Southern Miss, especially when considering our future schedules, is asinine.
Of course, you'd know this if you weren't a stupid sack of shite. But whatever.
