We are 6-6 in the last 12

In fairness, that 12 year period does include the worst 6-year football drought at MSU in 40 years. Of course, it also includes the best 4-year period in the past 40 years too.

But you're right, they're not our bitch. I guess it just seems that way after losing something like 39 out of 40 to them prior to the last 12 years.

We got to win 7 of the next 8 to make them our "bitch"

If that's the criteria, we are the bitch of very few teams, or have historically been the bitch of very few teams. Not Auburn, nor Florida, nor Tennessee. I feel alot better about not being a fan of a bitch team.

we are getting closer to LSU. Not there yet, but the gap is closing. Henig made a 17-20 point loss into a 45 point loss last year. Considering we were losing by 45 without throwing 6 picks, I'd say we are getting closer. No way suggesting we will beat them. However, in 2005, did you think that by the end of '07 we would beat Alabama twice in a row and beat Auburn at Auburn, and win a friggin bowl game? I'd have thought someone was batshit crazy for even suggesting...

is one too many.

In seriousness though, my personal prediction for the season record would mean a signature win would mean LSU or Tennessee. I just think we'll win 6-7 games, so beating Auburn aGAIN or a down Arkansas team doesn't fit that criteria. Winning at Oxford would, because it's a rivalry win on the road. That's a signature win, one you'd remember down the road.

Arnil Stallworth avg. 5.3 ypc last season. Is he "clearly superior" to Dixon or Ducre?

How lame can you get? Arnil Stallworth carried the ball FOUR times last season.

In Alabama it is all Auburn and Bama, all the time. Sports radio goes like this...
6-9am- Morning show (run through the pro scores then spend the rest of the time on the latest Bama or Auburn hotpoint)
9-12- The Herd or other national show.
12-1- Various shows (here in Mobile they squeeze in USA athletics and an outdoor show depending on the day)
1-3- National Show
3-6- Afternoon Sports drive ( run through the pro scores then spend the rest of the time on the...

Ya'll make it sound like the man is 0-20 at VHS or something. Anyway, I agree with cowbell. I think Ark is a good choice.

I grew up in the Southwest corner of MS, in what I would describe as an area with a pretty big LSU lean. Most of the people I went to school with were LSU fans, the tv stations we could pick up with the antenna were Baton Rouge stations, I went to BR quite a bit. Growing up all I heard was LSU this, LSU that. You can't live in that area and not know about LSU's teams. Like Sox said, it's just not the same in MS, particularly central MS. Our population is split between 3 major...

I live in Louisiana, I know a lot about LSU. I can't name their two deep at every position, but I know a ton about their team. Its May and half the stories in the sports page still involve LSU football. The Hornets are in a very big series with the defending champs, but we still get several daily articles about Jarrett Lee's progress at QB or how much Ciron Black likes living in Baton Rouge. Its just different than Mississippi. The papers here work like a scout/rivals site for...

They've owned us for 16 years, and they've hammered us 4 of the last 5 times we went to Tigah Stadium. I grew up despising LSU and would love nothing more than a victory, but you might as well chalk that one up as a loss.

There was a time when Bama beat us for 16 years in a row and we finally beat them and now they are our bitch. There is always hope.

1. You can chalk up the LSU and Arkansas games
2. You can do this without looking at rosters

We last beat Arkansas in 1998, LSU in 1999. To take the LSU example even further, we didn't beat them prior to that year since1991. You are talking about 15 out of 16 games, and several times in the 90's we clearly had the better team. There are 3 times we should have beaten Arkansas since 1998 and lose all 3 times. These two teams have our number. Anyone saying we might win one...

Check LSU's schedule. We are a sandwich game for them. And LSU does usually screw up one game per year. That much is fact. Just sayin...
