....don't buy the hype

Ole Miss fans had better be wearing seat belts. They better have the sash over their shoulders. They better make sure the frontal air bags are in working order. Why? Because this Ole Miss train is about to run off the track.
The biggest crowd in Oxford this year won't be drinking and carrying on at the Grove before the Alabama game. It will be later in the season as fans gather to rubberneck the Ole Miss trainwreck.
I really feel sorry for the Ole Miss faithful. They're in for a fall (see Georgia last year). They are college football's trendy pick. You've seen the preseason magazines. Most have the Rebels in the top 10.
The Sporting News has them as high as No. 5. Tim Brando, the CBS college football studio host and eagle-eyed SEC observer, has Ole Miss at No. 3.
But there is a major problem for the Rebels and their quest to take on Florida in the SEC Championship Game. You can't get to Atlanta from Oxford. It's not going to happen. Why not? Because they're Ole Miss.

Have you ever seen the book: "Greatest Moments in Ole Miss Football History" at the bookstore? No, and there's a reason. They've only had two. When Archie Manning signed his letter of intent and when Eli followed suit 32 years later.

no, let them keep posting it. It makes them look ignorant as hell.
No one can come up with a logical reason as to why Ole Miss can't met expectations this year and back it up with actual facts......so they just cop-out and say....well...."they're Ole Miss"

Who agreed to Brando's prediction of Ole Miss being a top 5 team at the END of the season. Who also agreed with Brando saying Bama and LSU fans pull the "they're Ole Miss" card because they can't fathom Ole Miss being better than both of them.
....yea...that Finebaum.

The same guy trying to get people to read what his dumbass writes every morning.

1. Ole Miss tradition can be summed up in one family — the Mannings. Take Archie and Eli out of the equation and the school barely has a Hall of Fame.
2. Since the '60s, Ole Miss hasn't been No. 1 in anything
3. And the schedule is great. Well, actually, it's pathetic.
There are some sorority powder-puff teams with a tougher non-conference slate than the Rebels: Memphis, USL, UAB and Northern Arizona. Are you kidding me? Do you think Northern Arizona will even bring a band? Cheerleaders? Do their players go both ways? The best players combined from those four couldn't hang with Vandy for a half.
The conference schedule worked out great with Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee and LSU all at home. The toughest road games are at South Carolina (Thursday night) and Auburn.
When your toughest road game in 2009 is at Auburn, you've got an easy schedule.
4. They'll blow a game or two that keeps them home watching the SEC title game. Last year, Ole Miss lost to Vanderbilt and South Carolina at home. Vandy was before the Florida game. South Carolina came the week following. Typical Ole Miss.
5. Bet against the Ole Miss Rebels. It's been the surest thing in college football for the past 45 years.
Any of those not factual?

Except the last part of last season and in the Cotton Bowl?
What was our score against LSU again?

It is really funny that he all of the sudden, he is credible.
I thought that he was a complete idiot when he agreed with Ole Miss being ranked so high.....and now he goes back on his word and now he is credible.
I guess that I am the one not in touch of reality

Anyone that uses Finebaum to prove their argument is truly an idiot.

He just wants people to read and guess what it worked.

The Mannings didn't win any of the 6 SEC championships. The Poole's are a great OM family. Charlie Connerly, Eagle Day, Bruiser Kinard....just to name a few...
2. Since the '60s, Ole Miss hasn't been No. 1 in anything Irrelevant to the 2009 season...but NO ONE is talking about Ole Miss being number 1.

ESPN switched the Vandy, USCe, and bye week around in March. This left us with a last second opening with very few teams needing another game. We were outbid for playing TCU. Rutges choose someone else. And ESPN didn't hold up their promise to help us find a decent OOC game.
4. They'll blow a game or two that keeps them home watching the SEC title game. Last year, Ole Miss lost to Vanderbilt and South Carolina at home. Vandy was before the Florida game. South Carolina came the week following. Typical Ole Miss. Snead hasn't played a snap in competition in 2 years. We were still trying to gel as a team with a new coaching staff. And "typical Ole Miss" is a bitch statement.

There are a few facts in there.....but mostly mindless, ignorant dribble.
