Ole Miss Is Cooked

[tdjones34]

I heard a story tonight on ESPN radio that we showed up to the 2003 Fiesta Bowl with championship party flyers already printed. I either forgot that story or have blocked from my memory given the terrible ending to that game

it's true

We did. Vinny had other thoughts.

Yes Vinny played bad but…….

We had the ball at the 3 yard line with 45 seconds left. We had a pretty good running back-Alonzo Highsmith-who was having a very good game running power. He had 119 yards on 18 carries. Yet inexplicably our brilliant coaching staff left the game up to a guy who had already thrown three picks. We passed, or tried to pass all of our remaining plays-including pick number four. If I were the HC/OC Highsmith would have had 122 yards on 19-21 carries and we would have won.

Sounds like a young Pete Carroll

Burn the ships.

First you were teaching LSAT tips and now Latin American history? Hernan Cortes references? The **** is happening on CIS.

I was literally screaming, “Run the f*cking ball”,the entire last four plays. Nobody listened.

My man made all kinds of money in that game and it wasn't for his play...

[UMFarArcher]

eh, there's been a lot of stress and tension on that team. I'm sure they are just trying to keep everyone loose.

Yeah, they don't have a Tootsie's.

I think they got a Teeter's. The girls there do chew tobacco, some of their own teeth, and lots of bruises - so it's just not the same thing.

I take it you’re too young to remember the fiesta bowl vs Penn state, when we came for war?

Three Games in Miami history that **** me off to this day
Penn state 86
OSU 2002
Nd 88
Miami should have won all three and have 3 more NC!!!

I remember well.

But this Fiesta Bowl?

This time it will be more like a Diddy Post-Crowd Party. With no baby oil in sight.

We also had Warren Williams who was having a good night
We should have run the **** ball!!!!!
It was a mistake at the same level of Pete Carroll and Seahawks w Marshawn Lynch!!!!

It was still a war. He just played like he was the Benedict Arnold of the thing.

 

[NZ Cane]

I mean . . .

I wouldn't have filmed that eh

which is exactly why they did, get it out there floating around...

 

[Fart Keyhole]

Can we put a pause on further discussion of the '87 Fiesta Bowl? Maybe we can dig up that dead horse in 24 hours.

Alright, come on. Elaborate, please.

 

[flips]

Kill them.

[TRick72]

I’m just surprised they had enough to play a baseball game. I thought Lane only left them enough to at best play some mix doubles pickleball with the remaining coaches wives

 

[flips]

Burn the ships.

Post of the Century. No retreat. Conquer the enemy

 

[caneingville]

That was awesome
