Would an Ole Miss win in the Sugar Bowl

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

I am not a greedy man, i just ask that our football program achieve a 10 win regular season every 4-6 years.

Totally logical considering we have won 10 games exactly 3 times in 127 seasons.

Oh and we play in the SEC West.

[Dak Holliday]

And we have 12 in a row that only 8 other teams in the country have at this point. Nothing to hang your head over.

It?s not shame or head hanging to wish they were better bowls or that we would win most of them. I definitely appreciate the bowl streak, but the only thing it means is that you can win 3 cupcake games and 3 conference games. One reason many shit on the importance of bowls is that a good many bowls are literally a celebration of being a .500 team.

😂 no doubt. Bruce may need to change his name to Bruce Almighty. He?s 100% spot on.

This year will tell us about basketball. Next year about football. Then we can talk about Cohen. Right now, marketing is an issue.

[Dak Holliday]

Agree.

Yep, yep, yep, and yep.

I absolutely agree with your overall point, but there has been an increase in games played each season over the years.

In the last 30 yrs, they?re not that much different. We are on a bowl streak that includes an academic year. They spent 3 seasons on probation with a few years of scrutiny and still have 3 NY6 bowls. They also seem to find ways to win their bowls. I?m not sure our lows are better. Liberty felt as low as I?ve felt in a long time. So, would you trade our lows for theirs to get their highs? I?m inclined to say that I would.

So you would rather go on probation, miss bowls for 4 years, and go 5 straight season of .500 or worse just to go to a Sugar Bowl? No thanks.

Fact is we have had the opportunity to make a NY6 bowl in '10, '14, '15, '17, '18 & '21 and blown winnable games to get there all but 1 season. I'd much rather be in the running and fall short then spend 5 of every 8 years wandering in the wilderness.

[Dak Holliday]

True. I didn?t realize that OM never had won 10 regular season games before this year.

[SailingDawg]

11 wins for unm is about as rare as they are for MSU. Won?t happen again for another 20?years.

If they don?t get probation/under scrutiny, they would have outperformed us pretty much every year. Yes, cheating, blah, blah. Pretty much everything they got hit with is legal now because EVERYONE seems to be doing it.

Maybe it?s just me, but every .500/.600 team is just a couple plays from a season good enough for a NY6 bowl, according to their fans.

I can agree with this.

If you disagree, Queef, state your position. Show where I?m incorrect. I don?t think you can.

Head and shoulder's? I admit they had a good season but should have lost three or four games but didn't just like we should have won three more games but didn't. Football is a funny game sometimes the ball bounces your way ala OM this year or it doesn't ala us this year.
One more thing that even I lost sight of after Tuesday. ML record might be worse than SloMos but SloMo had the benefit of playing 4 non conference teams in his two years ML had four this year and an all SEC schedule last year. No to mention the issues ML took over and then add in covid issues. It's easy to see the difference
And finally wether you agree or not but we are upgrading talent all across the board while OM is struggling to get transfers in. We are building LK is trying to build his resume out of Oxford

Those shoulda, woulda, coulda games swing both ways. We lost games we coulda/shoulda won. But we also won a couple of games we coulda lost.

To look at your rival and say they coulda/shoulda lost 3 games and flip back to yourself and say we coulda/shoulda won 2 or 3 more, is more wish than fact.

No way. But I guarantee they would not trade a Sugar Bowl win for a Baseball NC. That is not in their DNA.

[parabrave]

I get that for the first 30 of those years... that's when the SEC champion went to it. But for the last 20, the Sugar is no better than the Orange.

Since 1969/70 they have been to 3. But even back then the SEC champion didn't always go. That year Ole Miss was 4th in the SEC behind Tenn, LSU Florida.

That was a pretty sweet season for them. Beat bama and wore us out on dak's senior night. Unbelievable they lost to memphis and ark, thank God

4th and 25. That was almost worth seeing them beat Bama.

They might say that shit now, but wait until baseball season....
