Have started talking to me with pity. They say things like “i’m really not trying to talk ****, but you guys need to get rid of him”. They don’t bring up how well they are doing and rub it in my face. They are doing so well and we are such a train wreck that we aren’t even on their radar for the time being. They honestly feel sorry for me. I am not okay with that. We have become so bad that ole miss fans won’t even expend the energy to dislike us. Not okay.

Just say that you’re kind of hoping the Lane Train will bring <NAME OF HOT COACHING CANDIDATE> to Starkville like Houston Nutt did in ‘08. **

Maroon please inform us of the correct name. Not sure there is one. Barbay was the end all be all of offensive geniuses we needed to complete this staff right the ship and continue success.

Well, he was going to bring the vertical passing game , “Barbays bombs” is the phrase the quislings used.

Our coach died.

This entire situation isn't due to MSU, it's due to terrible luck.

We'll rebound soon. Just tell OM fans to enjoy our bad luck while they can

I don't understand your title, "ole miss friends"?!

Same here. I have in-laws w/ affiliatations to the University of Northern MS that I have to tolerate but I have nobody else that I have to associate with those same affiliations. The ones that I do know that have said affiliations know much better than to bring that subject up w/ me.

He did die; true. But only State would promote its defensive coordinator to head coach, and let him also give up all defensive coaching duties for himself. So we effectively got rid of our best coach (Arnett as DC), and hired a head coach with ZERO HC experience. That's what we did. We fired our DC, let go of nearly everyone else, and hired a no name HC. It might would have made sense if he kept DC duties.

We are in the same position they were in with Matt Luke...I guess they can sympathize with us

MSU football has brought me down so much that I can't even dedicate the mental energy to hate on OM this year. They have more than an outside shot at Atlanta and I couldn't care less.

I've been getting a lot of yard work done on Saturdays lately. So there is an upside. I guess.

Sigh.........

Just be patient, all things are cyclical. OM will crash and burn pretty soon just like they always do and we’ll get back to averaging 6.7 games per year.

Wow! That IS baaaaad. Even during Tech and 10 I found hating on OM natural as breathing. I think you need to go see Dr. N. Fitzgerald for some therapy.

Funny. I had a similar thought this weekend: For the first time in a very long time, I watched and thought about the football team with pity. Just feeling bad for the players bc you know they want to do good and win but the coaches just aren't to the level they need to be at this time. Haven't watched with pity since Croom

I changed the heating element in my dryer and did some maintenance on the water heater during the game on Saturday. My wife was incredibly impressed. I didn't say anything about the failed 4th down conversion being the catalyst and just took in the adulation.

Exact thing my neighbor said a week or so back when we were talking.. He said Arnett is y’all’s Matt Luke, to which, I couldn’t argue… It’s funny, he used to get real excited to see me after ole miss wins, now just talks, and shares in my pain…until he turns around and laughs I’m sure!

My one Ole Miss friend (who is a shlthead like the rest of them) is telling me that we need to give Arnett time. Did I mention that he's a shlthead?

Tough situation of which there was no blue print. Not worth blaming people for a hind sight 20/20 situation that was this unique. We just need to make sure it doesn't screw up our future

When any ole miss fan tries to talk to me, I remind them how evil their students are. Remember that a drunk frat boy murdered a campus police officer to keep from getting a dui.

a university with such skewed values is not fit to discuss anything in society

Those of y’all who don’t understand the concept of “Ole Miss friends” are very fortunate people.

Most of us aren’t that blessed.

I'm so over this baseball team, football team, football coaching staff, athletic administration, that I don't care anymore. That's a terrible place to be.

It's given me more time to watch soccer, which makes me happy. I would rather be bitching at the television on Saturdays, or loading up 6 kids to see a competitive game, but I just don't GAF anymore. My yard is finally getting the attention it deserves.

I love you all,
GOJ
