Go look at the all-time record in football between Ole Miss-USM when Brett Favre wasn't their quarterback. They've beaten us maybe 2 times. In no way are we scared of them.

USM is no threat to recruiting against Arkansas. They aren't really against Ole Miss or State but by beating us, they could use that against us during in-state recruiting. Would beating us likely change any recruits minds? Probably not, but why give them the chance and risk that it might? Plus you're opening yourself up for the embarrassment of losing to a 2nd tier program in your own state.

I was talking in regards to the OOC schedule.

You can lump in Bama, Auburn, Nebraska, and other schools into the pot with Ole Miss and Arkansas who refuse to play other small instate programs.

its more of scheduling and money than anything. teams like that want a home and home series. Big teams aren't going to travel to a shitty school like that located in their region and lose money in the process. it gains nothing for them. its not in their best interest

I said the argument could be made based on data available.

I'm helping him, if he wants to make that argument.

The parking lots are littered with broken bodies.

If the Egg Bowl ever decides who goes to Atlanta, they'll have to bring in the National Guard to keep the peace.

I wasn't around in the late 50s-early 60s.

Apparently is was bad enough for Vaught and Broyles to talk about it mid-field after a game then give each other enough time to find replacement opponents before putting the series on hiatus.

Now if you want to make the argument of Ole Miss being second best to USM, there is certainly enough data to back your claim, but "third best" is just be ridiculous.

Did I say "third best"? Sorry, I meant to slide them in behind the Fighting Okra of Delta State. So you're right, they're not third, they're fourth best in their state.

I see Arky's just as scared of the Boll Weevils as Col Bear is of the Eagles, I'd pipe down if'n I was you.

stAte's latest proposal included us playing them in Jonesboro and Little Rock with the game rotating between the two.

Oh and we have to pay rent for the game at WMS while splitting the gate and concession profit.

But yeah, its just us being scared to play them.

That actually would be a really scary game to go to.

I didn't know we were allowed to schedule DII opponents and it count toward bowl eligibility.

frick we should totally drop ULL and pick up Arkansas Tech this year.

Make it happen Bert unless your a big stupid doodie head.

Why doesn't Bama, Ole Miss or Miss State ever schedule USM anymore?


A Louisville fan should know that no one wants to return a game in that shite hole in Hattiesburg. They also have some of the worst fans on the planet. Very West Virginia-like.

My guess is everyone was quite happy to dump them.
