Don't forget "better offense" and "better coaching"

They have as many titles in 4 years as we do with similar talent

We're always quick to point out any other school nabbing top recruits must be cheating, yet conveniently ignore that we land great recruiting classes despite having little-to-no national relevance outside of a non-BCS-bowl Johnny Football year since the turn of the century.

mhayden gets it. We've talked on TexAgs for the last few years on how the Sooners recruiting has tanked. But they look pretty solid.

Except we have tangible reasons to explain it like being the only SEC school in Texas (recruits have constantly said this matters, shiny new facilities, and Sumlin has fantastic relationships with Texas high school coaches.

They look solid because of competition.

I normally roll my eyes when we say things like "L$U" or make claims that other schools are cheating just because they're outdoing us...





But Ole Miss is definitely paying.

It's called having a coaching staff with a philosophy and concept that can get it done in the SEC. Something we lack.

all the studs from their #1 recruiting class of 3 years ago are leaving for the NFL.

the irony...Ole Miss beats LSU and Bama in the same year...but still manages to miss Atlanta and lose 3 total games

Ole Miss is a not-small state school in the South.

They have plenty of support and facilities to have a good program under the right coach, without cheating.

If they're cheating, then, yeah, that helps, too.


Anyways, surpassing us is hardly a high bar. Its not like they're not winning national championships or anything like that. They've had a couple of good seasons, 9 wins, maybe 10 this year, with some conference losses.

They've had plenty of seasons like these before.

Everyone claiming Ole Miss pays off recruits, you don't think we have a shadow network of boosters that also does this? I mean seriously, glass house.

Their facilities are impressive, stadium not large but always full so ticket has value, great indoor facility and the Fedex academic center for Athletes.More wealthy donors than you would be led to believe.Constant ,calculated campus improvement. beautiful campus full of beautiful people, the grove, has become a "destination" school for rich kids from Texas and Georgia. Hugh Freeze is a great coach and a great recruiter. they have passed up a bunch of people. Like TCU, it has become very cool with the social set. Lots of Greek life, with that come wealthy donors. Competing in every sport. Its a pretty nice place with better coaches and better players than we have at present. AD is aggressive and loyal

Ole Miss is a known football hotbed, not sure A&M is there quite yet.

Sumlin is making strides though.

Do you really think anyone cares how you beat Bama. They also had a large lead and scored a lot of points.
So you're saying......? How about you stop worrying what Ole Miss is doing. You can change schools if you'd like.

how has Ole Miss passed us? They have been a member of the SEC since 1932, we enter in 2012 and it takes them 2 years to have a better conference record, albeit similar ho hum final record. They have 4 more conference wins but only 2 more total wins over the last 2 years. The first 2 years we have 5 more conference wins and 6 more total wins.

They've gotten better, leading to them kicking our ass two years in a row, and we've gotten worse, leading to them and a lot of other schools kicking our ass two or more years in a row.

A lot of reasons to think Ole Miss ought to feel better right now than us.

Pass us up? Ole Miss and A&M are two peas in a pod. Their talent on the defensive side has been light years ahead of ours all along while we had a generational player at the most important position in the first 2 years. Identical SEC records of 17-15. Neither team is really going anywhere, Ole Miss aint exactly playing for SEC titles, and we have the best overall season among the two teams in that period.
