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.
Boom.Quote:

We were blowing Louisville out on their home court so that was more important to me than what some commentator said.
And when has Alabama been called Auburn?Quote:

How many of y?all have called your children by your dogs name?
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 inQuote:

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?Quote:

Ha. No, never heard that one. Could you expand on the story?Quote:

there is no lack of knowledge on this . they get their rocks off on pissing us off . they've always hated us and they jack off to pissing us off. ole miss sends the check.
It would look a whole lot better imo.Quote:

That would certainly explain a lot.Quote:

I cannot figure out any reasson or order being used that "Ole Miss" should come before MState, unless it is their antebellum year of their founding vs. our date of 1878.*** By the way, I think AU is used for Auburn after the bama symbol. We are being put down in order behind the "lagship".Quote:

I just told you. They aren't listing it alphabetically by the logos. They're listing it alphabetically by the school's name excluding the word university then they are placing the logos so it'd be the same order even if the logo said Zole Miss.Quote:

Of course, that means Delta State comes before Jackson State comes before Mississippi.
I get what you're saying, but I still don't like it. Bring back the interlocking MSU in some shape or form asap. Look at Coach 34's helmet in his posts, best look we have ever had. The UNM "M" and our johnny come lately "M with a State banner" confuse many people outside our state. Hail State!Quote:
