Well he won't have that problem at Ole Miss since he can't seem to crack the two-deep.

SEC fans will turn on the ball boy’s grandmother when they lose to somebody they don’t think they should. Some weird fellers follow those teams.
 
I didn't see anything in the article (with the exception of some TIC comments) that the majority of this board wouldn't agree with. Was there a particular part of the article that OP took issue with? I agree the TO comment (which I filed under the TIC category) was stupid.

Its not just this article - its the recent series of articles from this site. FTRS used to be awesome - now its just a bunch of bitter old ladies who crap on GT every chance they get.

They probably graduate, what, 10,000-15,000 people per year? You could pick that many high school kids at random every year and probably have a similar number of those end up millionaires

We got a fanbase that believe you need to splice genes, split atoms, etc or design some complicated thing to be successful. Fact of the matter is you can run a septic tank pumping company, do car window tinting, own pawn shops or payday loan stores, haul trash around, etc and be just as successful as a Rocket Scientist if not more. Other advantage with those businesses is you don’t need a country club membership, a big fancy house or drive an expensive car to fit in. You can live in a normal neighborhood where your slutty neighbor’s wife does topless jell-o shots after she mudwrestles the divorced Nurse on the corner and your kids don’t end up being maladjusted anti-social hermits. They can funnel a beer with the best of them and will date the nice girl with the nose ring and tats down her blouse you swore you saw last at that club that charges you $25 for a non-alcoholic woman’s drink…. and the HOA doesn’t fine you $100 for parking your boat in the driveway for 3 straight days.
 
I thought the “article” was pretty accurate. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything, and maybe that rubs some the wrong way? Fact is, what he says is the uncomfortable truth.

There is a lot - a lot - of truth to this.

Sure, but I'm strongly of the opinion that talent > hard work. Any bright person is infinitely more interesting than some guy who just grinds all day for decades in a boring job and has achieved...financial comfort. I have no doubt that some sharp people pass through Ole Miss, doesn't make it not suck.

The real problem is not that people are taking shots every chance they get, it's that the current AD and coach are providing people so many chances to take shots due to their very crappy results.

The millionaires with an Ole Miss degree are living in mansions that have been in the family for decades. They got a degree from Ole Miss but all they learned there was how to read Faulkner and of course drink with the right people, which is other people just like themselves.

Which, as you point out, is the exact opposite of self-made. Its made on the backs of others who are not represented in this conversation.

I agree that the Tech man is more likely to be a self made person. The more interesting argument is which one is more admired.

Old money people are generally stupid, lazy and entitled having lived off the backs of their ancestors. I don’t have a lot of respect for old money people who were born with a silver spoon up their ass.

I have a lot more respect for new money people whose wealth is not a product of a caste system.

I think it is a must win for GC. For him to get to 6-8 wins he needs this one.

No he doesn’t. Ole Miss is either the 2nd or 3rd hardest remaining team on the schedule. To think that beating Ole Miss is the only way to get to 6 is dumb.
