Nothing like finishing under a Sun Belt team in the SEC standings all but two years since 2006.



Three years since 2004

Do we need to talk about Ole Miss vs Jacksonville State again?

Shouldn't you be out celebrating the greatest modern athletic achievement in Ole Miss storied history?


At major schools we don't celebrate success and, instead, expect to compete at the highest level all of the time.

That's why y'all will have to settle for the New Orleans Bowl this season, if y'all can get by the University of Louisiana in regular season (or regional) play.

Y'all focus too much on beating a major conference opponent and should be focused on winning the Sun Belt and getting an invite to the AAC or Big XII.

Louisville, USF, UCF, TCU, etc. have all made transitions from small conferences to major conferences. Why don't y'all copy their blueprint?

I think he is more referring to us traveling to these sites?

Not sure why...they have traveled to Wyoming, Wake Forest, Memphis (several times), Fresno State, Tulane (twice) and Arkansas State in recent history.

We have a historical rivalry with Memphis, much like y'all's with Southern Miss. Y'all have traveled to Memphis many times in recent memory as well, although when y'all play them it's usually a conference matchup.

Did y'all leave the C-USA and join the American with them?

Pretty ancient history at this point. We haven't played Southern Miss since 1990.

Isn't your 2015 OOC schedule incredibly easy?

09/05 - UT Martin
09/12 - Fresno State
10/10 - New Mexico State
10/17 - at Memphis

Jesus Christ they are really traveling to Mobile to play South Alabama? FCS a year ago and a 5 year old program?

What an embarrassment

Ole Miss is playing a school with a stadium capacity of 6,500 next year.

Year 3 and Freeze is already stooping lower than Mullen ever has.

I don't really have a problem with going to Southern Miss. It's still in the state and will be an easy win. You have to make concessions to get easy wins nowadays.

Yes they are. They've traveled to Birmingham twice to take on the vaunted UAB Blazers, too.

The really tarnish the conference's pristine reputation
