The vaunted ole miss team y'all are loving so much had 3 points in the 3rd quarter against the worst State team I've seen play since Rocky.

I'd hold off crowning them for anything and certainly saying they've left us behind.
State is going to beat them in Oxford next season. They are winning 8'or 9 games which is great, but Lebby is going to catch them. Y'all relax.

I would agree with this IF we were still under the prior traditional recruiting rules. But now that you can legally buy players both in the transfer portal and even out of HS I'm not so sure you can say that they can't permanently separate from us. Buying players has always been their specialty even under the old rules and we are now in a brave new world. I mean its not just us. OM is outdoing a lot of the traditional powers in the SEC as they have taken players away from schools like TA&M and TN in the transfer portal and I expect them to be among the top 4 to 5 teams in the SEC next year even with TX and OU added to the mix. I'm not so sure things we've known in the past are really valid anymore to gauge what we have going forward.
