re: Ole Miss wins ESPY for "best upset"

Ole Miss got it by beating number 2 ranked team that didn't win the natty. Still a solid upset but shouldn't have won IMO

To be honest, yeah, I don't think us beating Bama was the biggest upset of the year. I had a $500 on the line that said we would beat Alabama with my cousin who is a Bama fan. I knew it came down to one thing: If Good or Bad Bo showed up. Good Bo showed up, so we won. We were a legitimately good team last year playing another legitimately good team. It was a 3 point line, so by default there's no reason we should have qualified for that.

Now it was the greatest day in Ole Miss football history, but us beating Florida in 2008 was a much bigger upset than that. I think State slaughtering A&M was bigger than that actually.
