Ole Miss view of GT

Interesting. Maybe these home and home games are our way of getting back in the SEC. I guess I’d forgotten we were in Alabama’s fight song. I don’t expect it to be around much longer anyways. It has the word Dixie in it and is therefore racist.


“Yea, Alabama!"

Yea, Alabama! Drown 'em Tide!
Every 'Bama man's behind you;
Hit your stride!
Go teach the Bulldogs to behave,
Send the Yellow Jackets to a watery grave!
And if a man starts to weaken,
That's a shame!
For 'Bama's pluck and grit
Have writ her name in Crimson flame!
Fight on, fight on, fight on, men!
Remember the Rose Bowl we'll win then!
Go, roll to victory,
Hit your stride,
You're Dixie's football pride, Crimson Tide!
 
Pretty funny that we made a whole thing out of not going to Mississippi, honestly
 
Why is Ole Miss in the SEC? Ole Miss will never win a SEC Championship. They tried to cheat like Bama and Georgia and the NCAA quickly put them in their place.

Bobby Dodd shouldn’t have quit the SEC but I agree with his decision to not go to Oxford. I wouldn’t wanna travel to a ööööhole like Oxford, MS either. It’s bad enough we have to travel to Athens.

Tech refused for years to play a game in the state of Mississippi, so I never blamed Ole Miss and Mississippi for not supporting our bid to rejoin the league. Georgia said it would leave the SEC, if the SEC took Tech back. So, nobody was surprised by its vote against us, either. But, Auburn, which paid a lot of its athletic bills by playing a game at Grant Field against us every season for a long time and which reportedly promised to vote to let us back in the SEC, has always been the villain in my opinion. I say "To Hell With Georgia!" all the time, and I mean it. But, in my opinion, Auburn is the reason we didn't get back in the SEC. So, I should dislike Auburn more than I dislike Georgia, I guess.

Similarly, on the recruiting rules vote that led to Tech leaving the SEC, Alabama promised to vote with us, then failed to do so. So, if Alabama had voted the way it said it was going to on that rule, we would have never left the SEC. Therefore, Alabama and Auburn are the two schools that I will always feel like led to Tech not being in the SEC.

But, that's spilled milk and not worth crying over. We are lucky to be in the ACC. If we ever get back to the top of that conference, which we are fortunate to be in, we will be fine.
