Now, I'm beginning to dislike Ole Miss as much as LSU fans.

Ole Miss expects to beat Bama now

That's exactly my feeling as well. As you said, they seem to think that they can just show up and roll over us. That is why I believe they are setting themselves up for a mighty fall.

And I grudgingly would take that for 5 more years if you could promise me that we will win 5 more SEC titles and 5 playoff appearances.
But yeah it's like the jets trying to talk smack to the pats about beating them once a year. For one team it's the biggest victory of the year, and for the other it's a game to learn from.
I don't recall if it was Jesse Ventura or Ole Miss who first said:
"win if you can, lose if you must - but always cheat."
"win if you can, lose if you must - but always cheat."
Well as the poster of this article I guess I should have put a disclaimer saying "I am not mad or offended by what he said." I thought it funny and presumptuous of him to say such a thing.
I think the OM player made a mistake by specifically naming teams. He would have been better off just saying based on our preparation and hard work we go into every game expecting to win if we execute our game plan. Taking this approach solely expresses confidence in your own team. Nobody would have a problem with that. The problem is when he starts calling out teams by name. JMO..

And to be fair, we didn't expect to have a five turnover game with one being on the opening kickoff leading to an easy field goal. Nor did we expect the helmet touchdown.
And to be fair, Texas a&m didn't expect to have 3 interceptions for a td either.How is that anymore out of the ordinary than the plays in the ole miss game? We can list illegal plays, lucky plays, and how you don't see 5 turnovers committed by Alabama all you want to, but it doesn't change the fact we lost to a team that we lost to the year before. My point was that all of our fans said the same stuff of how lucky ole miss was to have drake and Kelly hurt, lane Kiffin abandoning the run, and OJ not fighting hard for the ball all offseason last year, and were saying how we were going to get revenge. But it didn't happen, and all of the sudden a player is boasting about beating us and we are saying the same stuff from last year.
I expect to eat breakfast most mornings. That doesn't make my breakfast for me.
Really, though, I think this is mostly jock-positive-psychology-speak just being sloppily translated and/or sounding weird outside the athletic complex. Tip to the player: brevity is your friend.

It's not necessarily different, but you don't hear Bama players running their mouths about 'expecting to beat A&M'. Bama can make excuses as losses are the anomaly, not so with OM.
Any time a player talks scoreboard when they haven't won any championships in 50+ years sounds just like Memphis after they beat OM.

Whew. You took my comment to the extreme.
Simply pointing out fans making those comments last off season weren't thinking "We're going to have to overcome this or that obstacle to beat Ole Miss."
To be fair, Alabama scored non-offensive TDs all season last year. So no, what happened to a&m wasn't out of the ordinary. However, a pass off a helmet landing perfectly in the hands of another player would be considered out of the ordinary. Or an illegal play that's allowed to stand that resulted in a TD. Those are things that only happened to OM when they played Alabama last year. Alabama scored defensive and special team TDs in just about every game last year..
I was pointing out what happened in the game not to make excuses why we lost but to illustrate more that Ole Miss seemed to see the win as proof that they had arrived somewhere and failed to learn from the fact that they really had no substantial sustained drives. I don't think they figured that out until they played Florida.

I would worry about beating Florida State before playing Alabama two weeks later. After playing Alabama, you have to deal with Georgia, Memphis, Arkansas, LSU, Auburn... That's brutal schedule for Ole miss.
Lol, finally win 2 in a row after not winning a single game in 10yrs, and all the sudden they own us, huh. Call me when they beat us 52-7.
