    Two nights in a row, two different ESPN announcers call us Ole Miss...

    Holy shit what is the deal? Then they get chubs talking about Kermit, City grocery and the grove. Was surprised they didn?t mention the tailgate chandeliers. I really wish another network would pick up our games. ESPN is terrible on just about all accounts.

    Something has to be done. What? I don't know but it's ridiculous.

    Oh well, I'm sure Kermit appreciates the free air time his program got.

    Confusing them with us is the only way they?ll ever be mentioned in a final four.

    In the heat of the game it doesn’t bother me as much. What pisses me off are graphics and articles that people actually spend time on, have others quality control, and still mess up.

    Doesn't bother me at all in fact it just shows me how far the rivalry has come. The rivalry is a national brand now. State vs Ole Miss is mentioned as top 5 rivalry all over the country. When the Birmingham, AL newspaper ranks us the #1 football rivalry it's a big deal.

    We were blowing Louisville out on their home court so that was more important to me than what some commentator said.

    Alabama and Auburn names are different enough that they don't cause confusion. We and Ole Miss have similar names, so the mistake is made. But for a long time, most people didn't know what state Auburn was in.

    If you take a quick trip over to Twitter, you?d soon start thinking that most people probably don?t even know which state Mississippi State is in. Twitter confirms daily, that which I feared most about our society.

    Careful not to read too many tweets from a bot or you'll start seeing sideways. Twitter is infested with bots tweeting random words jumbled together. I'm not joking. I have to mute bots all the time.

    Noticed in the early part of the game they said Nick made the winning shot against Baylor, when it was Q.

    I have heard my mother call all the siblings by the wrong names over a hundred times before and sometimes it's the dog's name mixed in

    It's Mississippi State University. (MSU)

    Which comes before

    University of Mississippi..... (Ole Miss)

    MSU still comes before Ole Miss...

    It's simply the Alphabetical order.

    Get it right ESPN

    Yeah, it's sad. I wonder what percentage of people even know Mississippi is a state?

    Some years ago, New Mexico had to starting putting "New Mexico USA" on their license plates so people would know it's in the US, not Mexico. It's our dumbed down society, and getting worse.
