So it took me 9 seasons in the SEC to figure it out, but Ole Miss is the new Oklahoma State. Think about it:
Whiney coaches:
Miss - Bianco
oSu - Holliday/Anderson
Fans:
Miss - incredibly entitled, even though they've not really accomplished much
oSu - ditto
Loudmouth players:
Miss - I mean, did you watch the games this weekend?
oSu - Robin Ventura played for the Pokes...'nuff said
In both cases, I kind of like their other sports teams and their other sports fans. I've enjoyed football and basketball road trips to both places. Both have nice campuses in the middle of nowhere in largely rural states. The similarities are alarming.
So...I hereby declare the Ole Miss Rebels baseball team to be then new Oklahoma State Cowboys. I hope the memory of Will Frizzell haunts you the rest of your days.

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
