Egg Bowl Conundrum

So would you rather:

(1) Root for Ole Miss to beat Mizzou so they come to Starkville ranked even though that win would help their bowl placement. Mullen could finally get that monkey off his back. This option would bring more positive national attention should MSU win.

(2) Root for Ole Miss to lose to Mizzou and MSU. Screw the "Mullen beating ranked opponent stat". This option has less positive national media exposure if MSU wins.

This is a serious question?

This is may be the easiest choicer of all time. My 2nd favorite team every weekend is whoever is playing Ole Miss.

[Maroon Diapers]

I will never cheer for them in any sport unless it helps us out in the standings. Not rankings. A group of them once told me they would never cheer for MSU, even if a MSU victory over someone would send them to Atlanta. This is how stupid these delusionists are. We have nothing to gain by them winning anything, hence let the rest of their season come crashing down on their f'ing heads.

[smootness]

Uh, 2. Why would anyone pick 1?

So we beat Ole Miss in both scenarios, but in one scenario they end up with a better record than the other, and with another big win for them?

Um, yes. I'll take 2, this is not even a choice.

Who cares if people will say it's an upset? I'd rather they think Ole Miss is not very good to begin with. Our fanbase has allowed people to change our own perceptions...we place way too much emphasis on this 'Mullen hasn't beaten anybody awesome yet' claim. It's better for us the fewer wins Ole Miss ends up with.

You're saying the bigger mark on Freeze is to beat Missouri (and have beaten Missouri and LSU in the same year), then lose to State rather than losing both? That makes no sense.

[I seen it dawg]

Ole miss lose. In everything everyday no matter the ramifications.

[dawgs]

go mizzou

is this even a question?

[TrapGame]

I'll never pull for ole miss to win anything unless they all get a serious case of herpes in the process.

[Dawg61]

I don't want Mizzou winning the East after talking so much shit about dominating in the SEC so I'm rooting for them to lose.

[preachermatt83]

NEVER....EVAHHHHH....ROOT.....FOR...OLE MISS

Mizzou all the way

Coach and I don't always agree but he just NAILED this one!!! NEVER root for OM.

Already happened with their recruiting championship last year.

Boom!

[Op4isabitch]

#2 all day everyday!

However it would be ironic if they beat Mizzou then turn around and get beat by us. Especially seeing as how they are the ones that started the Mullen has never beat a top 20 ranked team mantra!

There is no way I could ever pull of TSUN. Never. I hope they lose in everything thing they do. The only thing I don't wish on them is actual physical harm or some other calamity. Aside from that I want nothing good to happen to them related to sports. I hope on the way down here their bus gets 4 flat tires and loses all its oil. I hope the bus that picks them up has its radio stuck and plays nothing but a loop of the MSU fight song all the way to Starkville as well as having had a family of skunks living in their that were very unhappy at being removed. I hope their equipment manager orders all their jock straps two sizes too small. I hope 5 minutes before they take the field they get an official LOI from the NCAA detailing major violations involving lack of institutional control. I hope Yancy is specifically named in that LOI. I hope that right before the game they all need to take a big dump only to see 30 seconds after they all dropped the deuce that every stall is out of toilet paper. If anybody ever wants anything different for them then melt down your cowbell and turn it into a whisky flask.

[Madkinmecrazy]

I don't give a damn if they win or lose vs Mizzou. I care more about us vs UA. If we lose to the Hogs, will anybody really care about Mizzou vs OM? Every MSU board known to mankind will be blowing up with a vengeance!

I know that the original question is linked to MSU, but none of it will matter if we lose this Saturday.

Couldn't agree more.

I don't get emotionally invested in OM football, I can only handle one team and that is the Bulldogs. The way I see it, an OM win vs. Mizzou makes us look better if we pull out the Egg Bowl. I don't give a damn what the bears do 11 weeks out of the year, all I care about is how WE do for 12 weeks.

I'm with this guy... and, I'd like to see them fall all over themselves coming out of the fieldhouse, all on top of bucky... and keep playing it and the co-ed video the whole game on the moo-tube instead of commercials...

This, I don't really care about.

Ole Miss not beating another good opponent and finishing with one more win, I do care about.

[Sam&DeansDawg]

I'd like to win out but this season has already gone down the shi**er. I just want to beat Ol miss.

You care you just don't realize it. If Mizzou wins the East the entire nation outside the SEC will be screaming from the mountain tops about how overrated the SEC is. I'd rather not hear it. Plus MSU has only once made the SECG and I don't like the idea of Mizzou tasting it in only their 2nd season of SEC ball.
