From 1973-1986, the major bowls were the Sugar, Orange, Cotton and Rose Bowls. In January 1987, the Fiesta Bowl joined the mix. These remained the major bowls until the BCS bowls began in 1998, at which point the Cotton Bowl dropped out. For clarification, 1972 was the last time Ole Miss showed up at any of these, making the College World Series that year. And this was stolen outright from NAFOOM.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY TOOK COLONEL REB AWAY! HE'S MY MASCOT! I'LL NEVER SUPPORT THAT BEAR! NEXT THING YOU KNOW, THEY'LL BE CHANGING OUR NAME FROM THE REBELS TO THE BEARS! I HEARD THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO START CHARGING FOR SPACES IN THE GROVE. THEY'RE TAKING AWAY ALL OF OUR TRADITIONS!!! BRING BACK THE COLONEL!!!
This also shows the Ole Miss administration has had no idea what the hell they've been doing for at least nearly 40 years. Of course, if you needed this to tell you that, you haven't been paying any attention. They, too, would rather have focused on trying to appease fans with a stupid mascot search than actually trying to put a winning product on the field/court/etc. And now Ole Miss's athletics program pretty much sucks all the way around for it.
ReplyDeleteNever mind, I see you included the administration in there too. Though I can't disagree with the ridiculousness many fans have gone to either. But at least we still got the parties...
ReplyDeleteLook at LSU at the top by six points. I'm not sure what this table actually means, but I will go ahead a assume it means LSU is really good at sports.
