Beginning with a loss tomorrow afternoon that may turn out to be the least of their problems.
1. Dropping another Egg Bowl won't do much more than further deflate the fanbase and nail down the Belk Bowl. But it sets up Freeze -- assuming he's still there -- for three losses in a row to State -- they aren't winning in Starkville next year -- which is hot seat territory. Damn hot if they have to watch us make a Playoff run.
2. Their fan base is beginning to split. Finishing 8-4 plus Belk after the promising start is the mirror opposite of our season last year. It's a sign of things to come, and the things are losses on the field, in recruiting, and in fan support.
3. Who knows when the NCAA will drop its findings, but everybody with a functioning brain stem watched OM cross the recruiting line with Tunsil and the rest. I hope 8-5 was worth the penalties on the way.
4. Long term, even the most bourbon-soaked Confederate will figure out it's just a matter of time before they're forced to let go of both "Ole Miss" and "Rebels." It's inevitable. This is funny to us, but it'll rip Rebel Nation a new one. Ten years or 20, they won't be Rebels anymore, and they won't be Ole Miss.
And don't forget the squad of MSU Updykes headed their way with a metric ton of Agent Orange. Full Serengeti by Easter..
