I assume you are intending to suggest you love America? Is that correct?

Who cares that he served in relation to that picture?
OB, I will treat your question as non-rhetorical.

Someone commented about his apparent age. They were correct. Some youngsters tend to forget that many people don't go to college immediately after high school. I explained where he had been and why he was somewhat older than the norm.

His age and military service have little bearing upon the concept of "Yell Leader" versus "Cheerleader."

Why does every time someone looks like an idiot the military trump card is thrown in if convenient?


Because it works. You saw everyone back down when the card was played. Now we all know that Serraneaux hates America, but he even relented.

Not sure why those jack-offs just didnt make the mascot a Land-Shark. Would have made a lot more sense. A black bear? Really? Almost makes me feel kind of sorry for them it's so bad.

Didn't see the age comment, I thought the military was being used to excuse him looking like an idiot.


Carry on

No the attempt was sincere. The actions taken in the attempt to do so were meaningless gestures that academicians believed would work but had no basis in real world considerations as far as one can tell.

Also, if you think the changing of the mascot and the move to being called Mississippi and the ridding of the best pregame in the SEC were anything more than just window dressing, you are sadly misinformed as to how the world works.

Someone had this at their tailgate in The Grove at the Bama game. It was shown on tv, how did you miss it.

A. The #1 team in the nation is always the team to beat

B. Not attending a rivals game because you are at your own doesn't equal "poors"

C. You must have missed the thread that shows MSU grads and everyone else in the SEC besides bama make more annually than OM grads

1. You can't read.

2. I said I was at OUR game because I'm not poor. And it's doubtful he was at the state game if he was watching our pregame show showing the tailgating.

3. Go frick yourself
