Ole Miss Blog On Gator Bowl
I work with an Ole Miss alum who just showed me this great write-up comparing the two schools, our shared hatred of all things MSU, and how UM stomped them in the Gator Bowl in 1991. Enjoy.

Does he think Michigan is in Boston?
2nd Impression: He said we're the "most well endowed". Heh.
All's I remember about the Gator Bowl was it being said that they played dirty during the game, so our O-line plowed them into the ground. (And were MVPs).

First thing I thought too -- I know nobody who speaks like that in Michigan.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:08 PM ^
Interesting read, and I like the comparisons between rivalries, etc...
December 10th, 2010 at 2:12 PM ^
It is always nice to be referred to as "well endowed"
December 10th, 2010 at 2:14 PM ^
That dude hit the nail on the head. I really really liked that article.

What in the Sam Hell is that thing you call an avatar?

My wife.

. . . cause I was gonna say, I'd love to get all up into somma that, but my bad buddy. She's taken. Lucky man!
December 10th, 2010 at 3:18 PM ^
Maybe we can work out a swap.
December 10th, 2010 at 8:27 PM ^
for that food stamp face...

Believe it or not this turned into that ON PURPOSE and paid people to do it to her. She thought her husband (who was cheating on her) would come back to her if she looked like a cat. Obviously psyciatric help would've been a better investment.

If he thinks Columbus is a hell of a lot of fun, because it's like Louisiana...he really doesn't have that much of a rivalry with LSU....because LSU fans can't be treating Mississippi fans like OSU fans treat people from Michigan, and still call that "fun".
But a fun read. Thanks for posting it.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:19 PM ^
to OSU fans complain about their trip to LSU in the 80's and how they were treated.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:16 PM ^
I'd give him a +1 just for that. Heh.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:19 PM ^
That was a good read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for posting. And I am expecting us to open up a fucking can of beatass.

When you say "lets get Denarded," does that mean its a good thing to be Denarded or a bad thing?
I've used it as being a bad thing, meaning that when one gets "Denarded" they, in essence, have been beaten very badly by Denard and his Dilithium. For example, during the Indiana game, I wrote to a friend and told him that Indiana was being "Denarded" and laughed. (Of course, he wrote back and said that Michigan's defense was being Chappelled. Not cool.)

It's always good for us, right?
December 10th, 2010 at 2:19 PM ^
Our helmet+jersey combination is by far the best in college football. Nobody else comes close.
(I know, I know. Thank you captain obvious.)
December 10th, 2010 at 2:22 PM ^
Dude gets it.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:28 PM ^
And bitchin' parties with lots of beer (you can't act like Columbus isn't fun).
Columbus is a hole that I never feel the need to drive through, much less visit.
However, I couldn't have said this better re. MSU(s).
Their yapping and gloating, to us, doesn't ignite the flames of passionate hatred; they just annoy the shit out of us. We want them squashed, not so we can boast of our enemy's defeat, but so we just don't have to fucking listen to them anymore.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:25 PM ^
Good read, thanks for the post.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:27 PM ^
I was reading one of the Mississippi State blogs and they refer to Ole Miss as "the school up north" or "tsun". Now they're saying that Michigan is the original school up north because of what Woody Hayes used to say. Pretty funny.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:30 PM ^
One thing I don't get though...
So, while sharing many similarities, I posit that nothing mentioned thus far demonstrate where our greatest commonalities lie. Au contraire, bonjour.
That means "on the contrary, hello." Haha. I'm sure he must mean "au contraire, mon frere" which is the correct phrase meaning "on the contrary, my brother."

"Oh you don't want a fish sandwich?"

And Sweden have the same sense of humor.
Though great taste in women.

I've been to Jackson, Clinton and Vicksburg... and I can attest, this is true.
December 10th, 2010 at 4:03 PM ^
December 10th, 2010 at 4:15 PM ^
You're telling me! Only difference is the abundance of (fried) food.
I ate at a pretty awesome place though.. Anchuca Mansion... supposedly Jefferson Davis gave one of his last public speeches on the balcony. Woohoo Historic Vicksburg.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:04 PM ^
Can we call ourselves "Ole Mich"?
December 10th, 2010 at 3:06 PM ^
pen such a note in support of Alabama.... MSU vs Saban... still makes my skin crawl no matter which side I try to put myself behind (if even solely for the destruction of the other).
December 10th, 2010 at 3:20 PM ^
....(damn! can't think of anything to write about here without involving innocent people in the mix)!
Is collateral damage ok, when discussing total destruction of a hated coach's team, and a hated rival?
December 10th, 2010 at 3:19 PM ^
It's hard not to like the Ole Miss folks after they put in such a strong effort for the Admiral Ackbar mascot.
December 10th, 2010 at 3:59 PM ^
...except I have yet to see a "seductive, promiscuous woman" anywhere near Columbus.
Maybe the writer finds fat trucker-wives attractive?
December 10th, 2010 at 4:00 PM ^
Did anybody else think that sounded like Foghorn Leghorn wrote that?
December 10th, 2010 at 4:56 PM ^
Great read lads...great read. I do like the "Ole Mich" comment from above, that gave me a good chuckle! I say why not!!
December 10th, 2010 at 5:24 PM ^
I'd be curious to visit Ole Miss someday. I've never really been to the South.

I attended Ole Miss vs MIss state game in Oxford, MS this year. Ole Miss is a great place to go and see a game, and they have without a doubt the best looking, sweetest talking, and hottest females I've ever seen on a college campus and they do not suffer from California stuck up ness either....
I saw my first Ole Miss game when Archie Manning (that's Eli and Peyton's dad to you youngsters) was the QB back in 1969. Parents were from Mississippi, but moved to Detroit area and thus I am a University of Michigan graduate. You ever get a chance to catch a game in Oxford, MS, don't miss it!
Go Rebs and Go Blue!
