There's no such thing as " Memphis State"
They will always be Memphis State to me.
Just because a school tries to become something they are not like dropping "state" from their name or using "state" to replace A&M doesn't make them a better school like they are trying to do with the name change.

Sure it is.
Ole Miss hasn't done anything State hasn't since then.
State has done something Ole Miss hasn't.
You'd brag about it and shove it in our face if the roles were reversed. It is pretty fricking funny, TBH..
Ole Miss is near a half-decade decline if you think about it.

At best they were fighting for their states, certainly not their country.
And stop acting butt hurt over it, it's childish. You have about as much connection with someone who died in the civil war as you do someone who died in Rome.

I think they drank it dry. Twice. So fricking rad man. They must've been chugging bud lights like crazy.

Dan "BCS Bowl" Mullen. I still cry when I think about Relf throwing the game winning pass in the Sugar Bowl vs Michigan State.

If this isn't iconic Ole Miss tradition, I don't know what is.
Henry, OB, going to need you two to come tell stories about swinging your "Nutt Rags" at the Cotton Bowl.

These threads always deliver. Ole Miss fans like to portray themselves as fans of a lovable loser that they know chokes as hard as Riley Steele did in Transformers: Age of fricktron. That's not really the case, and these threads always let the true feelings ooze out that they have some kind've of historically important program.

One thing we haven't done, two of you count 10 win regular seasons. That's it.
Since you're wanting to start since the famous Meredith incident, here is a comparison:
Overall record
MSU
254-331-8 (0.44)
OM
323-283-9 (0.53)
Bowls
MSU
16 (9-7)
OM
25 (16-9)
Sure, neither of us are very good outside of our really good run before this data. However, a common misconception with State fans is OM was really good for 10 years and then MSU has been on par or better ever since. It's not true, as y'all have been on another level of terrible.

But using success from the 1950's in one sport is a good point?

You're right, the CSA never formed any kind of union after secession, and it was just single states battling it out independently with the North.
Nice edit too, I do have just as many ties to the Roman Empire which fell over 1500 years ago as I do to a direct decendent of my family who died in the Civil War with the Univeristy Greys three generations ago that my grandparents used to tell me stories about.

I think most fans would say the programs have been even since the 90s.

What's crazy is how fast they forget being fricking awful.
Wait till next year when Kelly and all the $$ boys go pro. They MIGHT see 6 wins.
Freeze will basically be running the same path as Houston.

Probably more ties, those genes have had a long time to spread around. You have some old arse grandparents if they told you stories about people who died in the civil war, I had no idea you were 80.

Ole Miss hasn't developed a QB out of high school since Eli.
