re: The program Hugh inherited and why you should take notice of Ole Miss football

Oregon has out-achieved USC and UCLA for a long time, despite having a smaller enrollment, in a state with a much smaller population--and one that does not produce much football talent....and I can guarantee you that nobody there believes there is a "ceiling" for their program.....

For a long time? Try the past decade, and that's about it. Also, Nike has lost more money on Oregon than we've ever had.

You're a terrible alter, brah.

Yes, the weirdest thing of all about the Ole Miss fan culture--one that really is deserving of a major sociological study--is that BOTH a deep-seated inferiority complex and being delusional exist AT THE SAME TIME.

It truly is the most bizarre cultural phenonmenon I have ever witnessed among sports fans anywhere, and I have been exposed to an awful lot of them.

Oregon has out-achieved USC and UCLA for a long time, despite having a smaller enrollment, in a state with a much smaller population--and one that does not produce much football talent....and I can guarantee you that nobody there believes there is a "ceiling" for their program.....

Your inferiority complex is of your own making and is your problem to conquer....

So what mindset should Ole Miss fans have? You don't elaborate regarding how it is possible for an entire fanbase to have a deep-seated inferiority complex while suffering from delusion at the same time. How can a fanbase be delusional at the same time that it suffers from an inferiority complex? Those seem to be mutually exclusive standpoints. Is there some kind of Goldilocks zone where a fanbase has appropriate expectations while recognizing its limitations? You have a lot of criticisms but no solutions. Professional sports have built-in mechanisms to encourage parity among teams. That mechanism doesn't exist when it comes to college sports. How do we overcome that?

I expect nothing from an obvious alter like you, so you couldn't possibly disappoint me with whatever response you have.
