Three of the last four years, they have showed up as the aggressor.

Something isn't right when comparing how their players are showing up vs ours.

We always appear very tight & conservative in this game while they appear to just have fun & let it all out.

IMO, that matches the personalities of the coaches.

Dan Mullen is a conservative coach that loves structure. It's why I don't believe he'll go to Tennessee. I just don't think Dan is comfortable with the unknown, risk, etc.. He likes control & coaches & prepares his team in the manner. However, Freeze/OM never cared about that & only cared about winging, calling escorts, & playing with no fear.

Dan's teams play with fear in this game while OM just plays. It clearly shows up in how the players carry themselves.
I don't think we play the Egg Bowl with "fear," so to speak. I think Ole Miss just comes way more hyped for it, which is crazy.
