I think the day will soon come (probably middle of this year) where both of us will be highly ranked and the entire country will be talking about MS football. The egg bowl wll come and both of us will be in the top 10 with the winner going to Atlanta and the winner of that making the Final Four this year! I really do believe that's how it plays out this year with the rest of the West being down. We actuallly "need" the bears to be good this year so that when we spank them in Klansville (sorry, I had to!) it will project us that much more highly in the National picture.
I think it's time for most of you to quit taking it as a slight to the People's University when some national pundit picks the bears to do well. Let's face it, they have a lot of talent and will likely fare well this year. Quit taking it so personally when they win because I have news for you, they will start out the season undefeated and then an unproven Bama team will go to there and it will be a toss up. Win that game and it could put them in the driver's seat to make the final four. If we play our game and take care of business before the Egg Bowl, IT DOESNT MATTER what they do. I'm not scared of the bears or Sunshine Wallace in Oxford. I hope they are in the top 5 at the time. That's a variable we can't control but weve gotta stop taking it as a slight to us. Because WE WILL SPANK THAT ASS and go to Atlanta over them. Of that much I am certain and this is the year the nation comes to understand True Maroon.
