As usual here, this thread has taken a weird turn. Who said anything about Mullen being ungodly, or that Freeze was godly?? What started all of that bullcaca?
I don't think God cares who wins or loses football games, despite what Touchdown Jesus University might think about that statement.
Now, can we please leave this parallel universe of the totally irrelevant, and get back to the matter at hand? The Egg Bowl.
I started another thread to hopefully entertain more serious football discussion than this admittedly backhanded smack thread.
Its always fun to poke back at someone who has been poking at you for a long time, and even better when all you have to do is point out their own previous words and actions. Most rational MSU fans saw this day coming, despite Mullen's boast that MSU would NEVER lose to the Rebels again, and dreaded the inevitable. Only a hapless sheep would have actually believed Mullen --- please tell me none of you really believed that caca. And when you poke a stick at and taunt an animal long enough, no matter how docile or tame the animal, eventually that animal will bite you back. That moment started when the clock ran out in VHS Saturday night. And after a period of time to vent a few pent up frustrations (built up over the past 3 years), it too will pass, and normalcy will begin anew.
There is a way to promote your own school for its own positive attributes, without having to put down other schools in the process. Sadly though, we are seeing evidence of a society that does not see the virtue in such a position, preferring instead to put down others in order to elevate themselves.
Not only have we recently seen the now embarassing public spectacle of MSU's PR campaign of putting down Ole Miss (directly and indirectly), but we have also had to tolerate such from schools such as USM and Delta State ----two teams that enjoy some degree of broad support from all Mississipians, including UM and MSU fans. And I would proudly note that during this dismal season for both USM and Delta State, no Ole Miss or MSU fan here on this board (nor any representative of the these schools, to my knowledge) recipricated by running them down or making fun of their programs, like some of the fans here of these two programs and their respective administrations did to UM and MSU in the past few years when UM and MSU were down and out. The Golden Eagles and Fighting Okra have been rather quiet lately and a bit more humble.
