Happy Croom Be Gone Day

Much whiskey, cigars, and Coo-Chees today. The Lonesome was rocking.

Croom Be Gone Day is Christmas, the 4th of July, and a three some with Erin Andrews and Ines Sainz all rolled into one.

Celebrate accordingly and stay thirsty, my friends.

Cigar Time

Haven't done this in a while, but it's a good time to bring it back,

Cuban Cohiba and fitting music.......................................................





Unreal

I never saw the physical domination that happened today occurring. Nobody has pushed the Rebs around like that. Nobody.

Even though State was still one dimensional, Relf made us 1 1/2 dimensional.

After last year's debacle, my game ball goes to the O-Line. They dominated today.They harpooned the hell out of some Landsharks.

What a difference competent coaching makes.

I said last year that the only difference in the 2007 teams and 2008 other than Snead was Nutt. And Snead didn't make Ole Miss 45-0 better than State. This year the only difference between this year's and last year's team was Mullen.

Tomorrow is a great anniversary for us State fans. The day we were rid of Croom.

November 29 is now a high and holy day here at Stony Lonesome.

Ok, Time For A Prediction

As I said last year, I take a backseat to no one in picking the Egg Bowl.

So here I go again.....................

State is a lot better this year. Not necessarily in talent, but in coaching. But coaching can only take you so far. As the ole Bear said, "You can't run a mule in the Kentucky Derby."

Unfortunately, we still have some mules.

Right now we are one dimensional. Our thoroughbred is Dixon. Ole Miss's is McCluster. Seems a wash, right?

Wrong. Ole Miss has Snead. He will be the difference because he makes Ole Miss two dimensional.

The Rebs will sell out to stop Dixon, and it will work. State can't sell out to stop McCluster, because of Snead.

I look for Ole Miss to use State's early aggressiveness against them. Look for a play action,
mis -direction, or a screen to McCluster early to make a big play for the Rebs.

If by the 2nd or third series Ole Miss is playing in State's backfield consistently, it's gonna be a long day.

While it won't be as bad as last year, we are still a year or two away.

I say Rebs by 17.





More Reasons to Hate Ole Miss

As I said last year......... Dipshits, every school has them, one just has more than others.....

Great Moments In Ole Miss Race relations Part 4

1996 University of Mississippi

As the final minutes ticked off the clock in the 1996 Egg Bowl Mississippi State held a 17-0 lead over the Rebels. State's defense had dominated the game to the point of scoring all but 3 of the 17 points. One reason was an African American defensive lineman named Eric Dotson.

As Dotson sat on the bench, Ole Miss alumnus and former State Senator Brad Lott made his way from his seat down to the area behind State's bench.

Evidently unable to bear the beat down of his beloved Reb's, he starts screaming racial slurs at Dotson. He does this for many minutes. Long enough that it is recorded for history by a local TV station.

Lott at the time was serving as a State commissioner.

This has been another Great Moment In Ole Miss Race Relations.

Great Moments In Ole Miss Race Relations Part 3

1989University of Mississippi

A group of white fraternity pledges kidnapped a white upper class man, striped him naked, then wrote racial epithets on his body.

They then dumped him on the campus of Rust college. A predominately African American school in Mississippi.

This has been another Great Moment in Ole Miss race relations.

Stay tuned all week for more.

Great Moments In Ole Miss Race Relations Part 2

1988 University of Mississippi

A historically African American Fraternity at the University, Phi Beta Sigma, becomes the first non white fraternity to have a house on the university's all white Fraternity Row.

It was promptly burned down by arsonists.

I remember well when this happened. I was not shocked.

Neither was anyone else.

This has been another Great Moment in Ole Miss race relations.

Stay tuned all week for more.
