I can 100% guarantee you that if we beat Arizona State, then it's because they are way overrated. Just an average team and not worthy of playing an SEC team. Now if ole miss were to play them and beat them, it would be championed from one end of the earth to the other by every ole miss fan alive. It would be hailed as another incredible top 10 win by the Mighty Rebels!!!!!
There would be talks of playoffs and heisman contenders!!!! Big time!!!!

Lol. I'm 58. I've lived it.

If we start the season 5-0 with a program changing win against Tennessee, it's because they lost their QB and they will surely lose 4-5 more games this season.

I'm not sure how we lose this mentality. I don't know if it can be changed.
Glad I'm not the only one who notices this.

Another example would be this past weekend. If we best Georgia State 63-7 our fans would be like "yeah well that's Georgia State and they suck. I'm worried because our QB threw 2 interceptions and our defense had some trouble against the run."

Ole Miss would make a damn bumper sticker and have the Clarion-Ledger put out a coffee table book if they beat Arizona State.
