Ole Miss Fans

[mshunter77]

How do y'all feel about the game this weekend. Texas obviously had issues on defense last week but this could be a huge win for the Rebels if they pull it out. I will be pulling for the Rebels by the way.

It's definitely a key game for the Rebs. It's hard to win at Texas, but we really need to cash in on the opportunity. Will make the rest of the season go much better if we can manage it. We do have an institutional ability to not win big TV games, but maybe we can dodge the gremlins this time.

Have to establish the option run package, but I'm betting the new Texas DC is working hard to plug those holes.

Speaking of TV games, how is it going to be broadcast here? ESPN just says Longhorn Network.

[champcaller]

Cautiously optimistic, or maybe........ dilusional.

TV - not sure. WREG (CBS affiliate in Memphis) has picked it up if you're in north MS, but we're on Dish so that doesn't help.

it's only on Longhorn Network...which means somehow the SEC allowed this game to basically go uncovered. It's not even available on ESPN gameplan (the paid subscription they claim shows every televised game???) How the University of Texas can get away with this TV $#!+ and how the SEC is allowing them to baffles me...I understand them playing their 1AA or body bag games on a university network, but a BCS opponent game or a conference game....really???? Who's got the naked pics?

Some local affiliates in MS are picking up the Longhorn Network feed...surely it'll be first class television

[quackhead11]

The Rebels’ Sept. 14 game at Texas will air live on the Longhorn Network, and that telecast will also be seen on several television stations throughout Mississippi and Memphis.

ESPN, the parent company of the Longhorn Network, agreed to work with Ole Miss Athletics to add live coverage in these markets that do not include the Longhorn Network in their basic cable packages.

“We are appreciative of ESPN’s work in reaching out to the state of Mississippi and Memphis area TV stations to broadcast our game versus Texas,” Ole Miss Athletics Director Ross Bjork said. “Because of our partnership with ESPN, they understood our minimum desire to make the game as accessible as possible in our state and the Memphis market. We are thankful to the local stations for allowing the game to be aired for Rebel Nation to see. Our team is focused and excited about the 2013 season, and we cannot wait to kick off on August 29.”

Below is the list of affiliates for the Texas game, which will kick off at 7 p.m. CT.

Memphis - WREG (CBS)
Mobile-Pensacola - WFGX (MyNet)
Jackson - WJTV (CBS)
Columbus-Tupelo - WCBI (CBS)
Biloxi-Gulfport - WXXV (FOX)
Hattiesburg-Laurel - WHLT (CBS)
Meridian - WMDN (CBS)
Greenwood-Greenville - WABG (ABC or FOX)

Whoever wins will win by 3 touchdowns. I believe Texas has more talent, and obviously have the home field advantage. If they rally the troops, it could be ugly for the Rebs.......on the other hand, I am not sure how the players feel about Mac Brown (Diaz was a scapegoat)........they may just "lay down" and the Rebs walk all over them!

[Deltamud77]

If OM doesn't win by 3 TDs it will be disappointing. UT is a grease fire right now.

[sab316]

Most Texas fans agree that if you can come out and hit them early, their stadium goes silent. I watched the BYU game last week. That read option ate them alive. I don't know if that can get fixed in just a week, bringing in a new coach especially.

Diaz was very well liked by all the players. Hopefully they are still sad, I'd love to see us win. Bo had to have ZERO picks. He'd have 4 if SEMO's and Vandy's D could catch. He's a master at the read option, but has to make better reads in the passing game.

I'm NOT looking forward to hearing these Texas homer broadcasters. May watch and listen to David

And then they head to all the bars in downtown Austin.

(I intended to post the following on ShaggyBevo, but then learned you have to run a veritable gauntlet to gain posting privileges there, which I have neither the time nor the inclination to do. If anyone has posting privileges there, feel free to share it with our esteemed opponents. Their audacity cannot go unchecked. Although I think those prudes don’t allow profanity, so would need to call the $#!+ "poop.")

Dear Longhorns:

Greetings. We wanted to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and express our excitement over the upcoming football game. Now let us dispense with the pleasantries.

We’re reasonable fans, patient individuals. We can abide most anything. When each year you send your borderline illiterate spawn, too stupid for admission to UT, to Oxford to spend daddy’s money while driving daddy’s truck and sporting their Texas flags and Texas belt buckles and rooting for UT and making sure everyone knows they are FROM TEXAS BY GOD AND EVERYTHING IS BIGGER AND BETTER IN TEXAS, we gladly cash your checks and then go about segregating them into the more obscure fraternities and sororities and other irrelevant social organizations.

When you inundated our fine city last year with your gaudy burnt orange apparel, your ridiculous cowboy hats, your second-rate actors and women, we smiled and politely offered you our cold chicken tenders and backup bourbon and pretended to enjoy your company. When you relegated our upcoming game to your irrelevant and fledgling Longhorn Network, thereby destroying the only incentive we had to schedule you in the first place (national exposure), we complained for a little while before ensuring we would still be able to watch the game.

But now you’ve gone too far. This we cannot abide, so let's get this straight right now: You do not $#!+ the bed. WE $#!+ the bed. Read that again. Repeat it. Tell it to your friends. We scoff at your pedestrian attempts at bed $#!+. So you got blown out by BYU. Well bully for you. Now you think you get to run around whining, lamenting the fact it’s been eight years since your last national championship and predicting a loss Saturday and calling your program a dumpster fire, a bed-$#!+? On behalf of legitimate bed-$#!+ programs everywhere: How dare you.

Take it from us. We know a thing or two about $#!+ the bed. We’re recognized far and wide as experts on the subject. If there is one constant, one universal guiding principle of Ole Miss athletics over the past 50 years, it is this:

Just when the stars appear to be aligning, just when we begin to hesitantly lower our defensive shields of cynicism which we have carefully cultivated over many years of bitter disappointment and unfulfilled expectations, just as we begin to hope against hope that maybe, just maybe, things will be different this year, that perhaps this will be the year the sports gods smile upon us, it is exactly then that we drop a malodorous, festering poop diaper of epic proportions, the kind that overwhelms the flimsy little elastic barrier as a river of foul excrement merrily rushes forth, leaving behind a shocked and poop-stained populace.

You want to talk about $#!+ the bed? Please. There was a time when the sports gods had the decency to crush our hopes with new and exciting methods of unforeseen misery, but lately they’ve become so very boring, so predictable. Perhaps you were surprised when you lost to BYU in such embarrassing fashion. We were not. It is all part of the set up: “Texas gets trounced by BYU and now a feisty 2-0 Ole Miss team which has just entered the rankings for the first time since 2009 (that’s right, 2009) travels to Austin for a winnable game against a prestigious but vulnerable program in the midst of a coaching controversy with an inept defense and a new (but still $#!+) defensive coordinator and an angry fan base.” We're supposed to be getting our hopes up right now, but we're old hands at this. We know how this movie ends.

Our history of epic collapses is so ingrained in our athletic culture that we have a four-letter motto which neatly summarizes our perpetual bed-$#!+ propensity: WAOM. We Are Ole Miss. This is neither a rally cry nor an expression of optimistic solidarity; it is a sad and collective acquiescence to our fate, that we are Ole Miss, so whatever collapse we’ve just endured should have been expected; best gird yourselves for the next one.

So say it with me now: Ole Miss will $#!+ the bed Saturday. We do not know the precise method of our downfall, but rest assured that the bed will be shat. The conventional wisdom among more rational Ole Miss fans is that Bo Wallace will throw between four and seven interceptions in the first half before his surgically repaired rotator cuff implodes and he’s replaced by Barry Brunetti, who will promptly begin pitching forward laterals directly to your fastest defenders before stepping aside gallantly like a torero facing an oncoming bull, while Ash/McCoy lights up our defense, turning in the highwater performance of his otherwise mediocre career. Our offense will sputter, our play calling will be nonsensical, our defense will look like, well, like it did last year, our best players will get injured, etc. We know the drill.

Remember this prophesy Saturday night as the clock ticks down to zero and you’re smiling down upon the field and your newly revived football season, wondering how it all came to pass. Your lackluster attempts at bed-$#!+ are embarrassing, you bunch of wannabe cowboy, faux-hippie, bed-$#!+ amateurs. Prepare to see the real deal. We $#!+ beds like you for breakfast.

Sincerely,
WAOM

+1...that is honestly prophetic it's so true and frighteningly accurate.
