Just realized I said Navy - Blue - Gray vs LSU

Correction: Navy - Red - Gray vs LSU for the rest of time

Navy - Blue - Gray vs LSU every year for the rest of time

Powder - White - White (ideally with dual stripe) is the greatest away uniform in college football

The following rant is for me as much as anything, but it’s the only correct take out there.

We need a dual stripe on all of our pants just like we have on the grays. If we have powder blue helmets and numbers, we need powder blue and red dual stripe.
The dual stripe is unique to Ole Miss of all major brands. We need to lean in. Plain white is lame.

If we are matching up colors for helmets (not including white), jerseys, and pants, that gives us:

8-10 very clean and classic looks that everyone will know is Ole Miss when they look on the screen.

If you want to start mixing things up with white helmets and mixing and matching colors, we would have:

72 combinations without deviating from the iconic Ole Miss look.

All combos would have:

1. Single stripe helmet: Navy, Powder, White

2. Shoulder stripe jersey: Red, Navy, Powder + aways w/ Red, Navy, Powder numbers

3. Dual stripe pants: gray with navy/red stripe, gray with powder/red stripe, white with navy/red, white with powder/red.

3 helmets x 6 jerseys x 4 pants = 72

Add in the 3 color variations of a white helmet, you get 5x6x4 = 120 combos that don’t break the Classic Ole Miss rules. You could even keep going with navy helmet + powder stripe and logo…like 324 combos without deviating or dipping into red, blue, or powder pants or red helmets or anything. Not going to do the math on that. Y’all get it.

We are uniquely positioned to be simultaneously traditional and multiple. Like if Oregon and Alabama had a had a baby with way better colors.

I rest my case.

I agree about college stadiums. Keep the lower bowl simple and pack people in there. We need new club level seats and a better concourse all the way around. Maybe get to 75k but no more.That would fix the stadium forever.

I find it very odd that anyone would be so fixated on the size of our Jumbotron. It’s already huge and I would imagine on the larger end of the college football Jumbotron spectrum. We are not lacking in the Jumbotron department. We are quite literally lacking in every other aspect of the stadium except the Jumbotron.
We could beat LSU and I would feel liberated for the year. If we lose, we'll need to make the playoff to make up for it.

An acceptable season could be 1-11 or 11-1.

Odd times

We playing this week?
I must’ve missed that. Was that explicitly said by someone?

From what I saw in the video, they were making major changes to the south end zone that don’t match it at all…
I'm not far off from you here. I'm mainly talking about the outer facade, the red and white upper deck portion, and the red awning. I'm fine with a rebuild like the renderings like you posted, but it would be nice if there was some continuity. Just extend the style of the top portion and outer facade of the SEZ to the top portion and outer facade of the sidelines.

My only gripe with the newer renderings is that they changed the grade of stands which makes it look janky to me. I can live with that if the East and West match and the North and South match.
In a perfect world, we just throw up the exact same style thing on the East and West sides. You could add seating or more levels depending on our needs.
In the age of the megatron, I imagine they would put them in all four corners. Bama didn't have the foresight and has little dinky ones in the corner of Bryant-Denny. Very 2008 of them.
The real answer to the stadium was given to us 15 years ago:

-It adds student capacity AND premium seating which gets us to 70k alone

-Gives the fans and students a concourse that overlooks the Campus & the Grove

-Leaves room for expansion and renovation of East and West Concourses & press boxes

-Perhaps most importantly, it completes our stadium even with differing East & West sides.

-Lastly, it gives our fans and visitors a truly impressive "front door" to our stadium. Ole Miss deserves a stadium that matches campus and the passion we have for football. Emerging from the Grove to an entrance like that would be the greatest atmosphere in all of college football, despite a smaller stadium.

FYI I'm all for developing the area in front (I'm thinking and Ole Miss version of the Braves Ballpark), but if we are thinking long term, and we should be, we want a stadium that we can be proud of for 100 more years. Do it now or in a decade, it just needs to happen. This is the way.




Pant Stripes

Posted by Dorsal-Fin on 10/11/25 at 9:31 pm
Off season thread I know, but just add the damn dual stripe from our gray pants to the white pants. Make it red and powder blue or red and navy to match our helmet color.

All white pants are busch league and make our jerseys look incomplete. Might as well take our shoulder stripes away too.
Can’t play much worse than that half….which is why I’m expecting a victory. Win or loss, hopefully this is the wake-up call we need.

I keep hearing this, but haven’t seen anything saying it outright.

Also, if we aren’t tearing down the end zones, we are continuing to polish a turd and making it look less uniform.

At least we have uniformity in the grade of the bowl at the moment. The renovations suggested would disrupt that if there isn’t a plan to do the end zones over time.

I’m not saying it’s not completely infeasible to tear down the whole thing, but for such an important and historic place for our campus, you’d think we’d want something to be proud of long term. Idfk

I sometimes wonder if we could have kept From Dixie with Love if we hadn’t have screamed “THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!!” at the end. Probably not, but we really had no chance at keeping it at that point lol

If we could have inserted “TO HELL WITH LSU”, we might’ve had a chance. I think the LSU fans would’ve loved the attention. We’d all be in agreement.
Not to be negative or sacrilegious before the beginning of football season, but I found it to be an interesting thought experiment.

Any players or coaches that rubbed you the wrong way while seemingly being beloved among our fans?

Mine would probably be the Nkemdiche brothers. They were good, but I was over it by the time they left. Early Denzel was great. Might be because that’s when I was in school and saw a lot of off the field behavior.

Also, Hugh Freeze. I knew there was something disingenuous from the start. Wins will solve a lot, but I was ready for the Freeze era to be over as soon as he got to Oxford.
I feel like you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what I did or how computers work.

Still not really sure how I’ve mislead anyone. You’re getting hung up on a weird detail.

I generated a list from scratch, and then I created a schedule format that works with said list as I saw fit.
Why is your keyboard typing all this stuff? Seems dishonest
quote:

Then why does the subject of your post read **I** accidentally created.

Whose in charge here you or your computer program, seems pretty dishonest to word it like that


Because, I created a formula from scratch to generate the list. I used a tool. You don't tell people that your car drove you to work or your pencil wrote your name. You say, "I drove to work" or "I wrote my name".

I certainly could've said I "generated" it.
