A State fan getting more excited about an Ole Miss loss than a MSU win? Yep, check me off for that one this week. Mississippi fans got a little waaaaaaayyyyyyyy too excited about that Texas game. Matthew McConaughey, biggest game since Eli's senior year, biggest party since the Olympics, etc....game week included all kinds or rumors and false hope for them in this game. They even pleaded pleaded with ESPN to bring College Gameday to Oxford - for what turned out to be a 66-31 drubbing. But I knew they would lose it. Heck, even Hugh Freeze even said on the sidelines before the game they couldn't win. But Rebel fans were too pumped up to see the signs. To borrow from Roll Bama Roll's famous meltdown thread, here is how Ole Miss' weekend went down...
Absolutely can not wait to be in #Oxford this weekend! #hottytoddy #BeatTexas

Streaker on the field. Gets taken out hard. Horns fans break out in SEC chant.

THIS is what Freeze meant when he said he didn't have enough SEC level talent. 31-10
— Jake Adams (@adamsjaken) September 16, 2012
Well, Rebel fans...not looking good...*drink*!

Ole Miss can't tackle and can't stop the run. #GameOver

If Admiral Ackbar had become our mascot, then right now he would be screaming, "TAKE EVASIVE ACTION"

I hate everyone and everything from the state of Texas

We are bad overmatched, which Coach Freeze noted early o
n. He won't say it, but i will: this is the result of ZERO recruiting by @coachhnutt

Not that it's mattered much, but the Ole Miss kick return has been abysmal
— FriendsoftheProgram (@FOTProgram) September 16, 2012
We don't want any one to see us when we lose. RT @realscottyowen: @simbad_reb why does night games there always look so dark?

This is turning into a MAC game.

And with that the Ole Miss student section starts to disperse as if there is a fire in the building. #WAOM

Texas missed a field goal, and the streak of eight straight possessions with a score finally snapped. Ole Miss takes over.
— Ben Garrett (@SpiritBen) September 16, 2012
Largest crowd for a non-conference game in school history. Ole Miss trails, 52-24, entering the fourth quarter.

We're still kicking, but it's more of kick like your feet do when your spine gets severed #WAOM
— Anthony Montgomery (@BlueOysterRebel) September 16, 2012
Welp where have I seen this one before #WAOM geez
— Taylor Sandroni (@tsandroni18) September 16, 2012
Freeze might be surprised when he looks up at the scoreboard.

At least the Hat took a knee on the 4.

Starting to feel like the dog jumped on the table and
ate the Thanksgiving turkey… except this dog is a gold medal Olympiad.
Dear 1L who just slipped me an airplane bottle of Crown
I love you. So much. More than words can say. Because I need this right now.
Anyone who thought us beating Central Arkansas or UTEP meant anything, I chalk up to having delusions of grandeur. We are digging ourselves out of a Hootie Dale Nutt grave. We have to do it one handful at a time.
Stop the bleeding please.
