Ole Miss football has become the second most hated team in the SEC behind Alabama. It isn’t just because our rival Mutts say so either. It’s a fact. We are hated by everyone in the SEC and for good reason.
Welcome to the Grove Grinder. As a Ole Miss football fan I have heard just about every excuse imaginable. I’ve heard words like obnoxious and snobbish. However, I’ve seen the very same at every SEC venue I’ve ever visited. Yes, in Oxford there are more than a few bow-ties, however there are frat boys across the nation doing the very same thing.
Of course, you’ll also hear how they can’t stand our traditions which have been pretty much dismantled over the years. The southern culture is another excuse they hate us, however I’ve seen a purple and yellow confederate battle flag at a LSU game in Red Stick. Our most treasured traditions are gone yet the hate for Ole Miss remains stronger than ever. These are just excuses and banter used in smack talk. This isn’t the real reason for the hate.
The Real Reason
Ole Miss Rebels Football
Of course, now you’ll hear the haters call us cheaters. But consider the source. T
here isn’t an SEC school which hasn’t had the NCAA poking around in their programs. The NCAA just happened to camp out in Oxford for four plus years.
For a large number of teams in the SEC this is scary. Now they know the lengths the NCAA and other SEC teams will go to in order to take a rival down. Of course, this has been going on between SEC rivals for years.
Auburn has tattled on Alabama numerous times over the years. That’s just what little brother does. Sometimes it sticks and sometimes it doesn’t. Now we have the perfect example of what a rival will attempt in order to gain an unfair advantage over its competition.
MSU has to stay on top in the Egg Bowl and will go to any length to make sure they are better than Ole Miss. So far, against Hugh Freeze, they’ve won 2 out of 5. They are so short-sided they won’t look at another number which will make them feel better. For example, in the past 25 years the mutts are 13-12. Hey see how that works? Y’all are ahead in the series. You even blew us out in the last Egg Bowl 55-20. No need to start calling in favors from the SEC and NCAA and making up lies.
Little Brother Issues
However, being the ‘Flagship University’ comes at a high price. Little brother can’t stand the fact we are better than they are despite their recent Egg Bowl win. No, they want to be bigger than they actually are. They want to be able to say they took down Ole Miss.They believe that will make them feel better about being bottom dwellers in the SEC West. The problem with dogs is they seldom understand their place.
However, with an insurmountable 19 game deficit in the Egg Bowl series, MSU knew they needed all the help they could get. Apparently they found the help they needed from a couple of student-athletes who can’t keep their stories straight. They also found help in the desperation of their head coach to make MSU better than Ole Miss at any cost. HA!

Now there have been responses made from multiple individuals within the NCAA case against Ole Miss. These responses all have the same theme. Little bro is all fired up about getting better and is willing to do whatever it takes. Even if that means an administration using players to facilitate a head coach and his ‘at all cost’ agenda. Well the high cost of colluding in an official NCAA investigation just to think they are better than Ole Miss is going to be far more than the sum those three are even worth. HOTTY TODDY!
