If you watched the Olympics Monday night, you probably saw the glare Michael Phelps gave Chad le Clos before their heat took place in the 200m butterfly. If you didn’t, it looked like this.

If you’re wondering why Phelps looked so mad at the world when he saw Chad le Clos, go read this. People had a lot of fun with it on Twitter when it happened. So I took to Twitter and asked this.

Next is the obligatory Ole Miss response.
@JStrawnFWtCT @mstatesports Something about TSUN because he's wearing their colors. Do I win?

We haven’t had this discussion in a while, but it might return this football season.
@JStrawnFWtCT @mstatesports "Why aren't they playing the back up QB? Everyone knows he is better than the starter."

Then came a couple of references to two heart breaking losses. First up, LSU in 2009.

When Mullen does this, I’m pretty sure most of us have the same reaction.

My favorite though, goes to Bryan. His referenced a grudge over State getting passed over the Outback Bowl all the way back in 1999. That’s an impressive grudge to hold on to.
