You don’t talk football with regular/random Mississippians? Where do you live? What do you talk about?
I live in Mississippi and talk about college football a lot with family, friends, and coworkers, but don't give or receive trash talk.
That’s a lie.
Me too, brother. There when they pre-recorded Jackies call-in shows with fluff pieces. We suck but I don't think it's gulf coast offense suck (yet). Defense can be fixed pretty quick if someone would flush the toilet.
I don't converse with them, period, even my in-laws that went there. And I live in Starkville so there just aren't many of them laying around anywhere. I haven't had a heated conversation with one of those presumptuous narcissistic pricks in years
OM got lucky with their rival, we tear our own program down so much, they don't have to waste any energy on us.
Same, I travel the whole state for work, often wearing MSU gear, I never receive trash talk, ever. I'm 6'2" 200lbs of twisted steal and sex appeal, so that may have to do with it.
My University of Northern Miss alumni friends have been quiet this year as well. The one time I did get grief I simply stated that Old Miss spent $15million on this team and well over $10million on coaches for this year alone and is staring down 8-4 instead of in the playoff hunt. They can’t be happy that they went “All-in” this year and lost at home to a bad Kentucky team.
What do you think we should be doing mid-season? Firing coaches isn't going to make us better over night. Is there something else you expect to see?
I’d trade places with them. we are going to bad next year as well.
I haven't talked Ole Miss-State trash or received it since I was about 12. I grew up in an area of the state that was about evenly split between the two, and we talked crap to each other constantly. Then I lived out of state where no one even considered either one of us relevant enough to talk about. They really had no idea who we or Ole Miss were. Then lived 20 years in Starkville where they were few and far between. I did always find the few life long Starkville natives who were very die hard Ole Miss kind of hard to understand. Guess that goes back to the 50s and 60s when you couldn't count what State did as playing football.
Next year may be even worse than this year. We get the "winnable" games on the road next year. And I'm hearing our QB is getting some big NIL bids from some schools we can't beat if they want him.
