“I just don’t understand why you cucks continue to try to make this argument when State led 17-5-1 until 1925 when we apparently decided to start playing football.

Cherry picking is fun“



You are correct that State dominated the early era of the series. Then OM dominated the 50’s-60’s and the early 70’s.

But since 1974, the series has been more even though each team has had small mini runs here and there. If one team dominates all the time then it is not much of a rivalry. Going forward, I think we will see very competitive games and it will most likely be back and forth on W’s and L’s.

But there is no denying that Vaught is the standard bearer in the series. Some of the older members of my family (who are all deceased now) never saw State beat OM in person. There were 4 ties during the 50’s-60’s-1970 , three of which were in Starkvegas and the two games that State won were in Oxford (1964 & 1970). My Dad was so mad after the 1963 game (a 10-10 tie) because OM kicked a FG right at the end to tie instead of going for the win. He would have rather lost the game.
Though you can hardly blame Vaught and OM for settling for the tie as that guaranteed them the SEC championship that year.
