Ole Miss week got me looking into the program.
I must say it’s not overly impressive in the least.
Questions:
1) where do the feelings of grandeur come from with regard to this program?
2) do you legitimately think that the program is competing for SEC titles
3) can you compete legitimately for SEC titles?
4) national titles- do you think the program is that type wherein this is a reality ever?
I mean guys, aside from the Sugar Bowl appearance a few years ago, you haven’t sniffed a conference championship since before Kennedy was assassinated. You are going on a 56 year conference drought.
What makes you think that ANYONE can have Ole Miss actually compete for championships?
Recruiting:
You guys get pieces of elite guys every now and then but let’s face it, you never get the elite depth in your 2s and 3s to compete consistently with the big boys in the conference.
So what gives?
What are y’all actually playing for?

That's an impressive number of bowl appearances and wins. Looks like it's up there with some top programs just from a quick glance at it. But the overall record is right down there with some of the worst P5. The hell?

I want 6-8 wins for 3 or 4 years with a chance to compete for the West once every 4-5 years.
So something like this:
7-5
6-6
8-4
10-2
Basically floor of 5-6, average of 7-8 wins

The overall record struck me as well.
It’s not good. barely above .500 record?
Fook
Listening to Ole Miss fans you would think they have the pedigree of Alabama or Michigan
It’s nuts

You may be the only sane Ole Miss poster and fan i have ever encountered

Basically what I want for South Carolina, and we're in the weaker division. Instead we get 4-8 after selling our souls to the devil to beat Georgia.

Where are you hearing this? I think you might be getting trolled.

What's funny about this is this is basically Mississippi State's "achievement" under Mullen.
Not trying to be a jab at Ole Miss, just pointing out that your expectation as an Ole Miss fan is what Mississippi State considers its modern glory years.
