Garbage from Today's ole miss School Newspaper

This is the type of trash we are dealing with this weekend folks. Straight from the ole miss school newspaper:

COLUMN - Love thy neighbor, hate thy inbred Cajun

by Steven Godfrey
The Tight End
November 20, 2003

"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that."

-- Sportswriter Bill Shankly, 1981

Before I start the usual column, let's get this out of the way: I quit smoking this week, therefore my disposition ranks somewhere around a weekend in the Neverland Ranch guest bedroom. Shut up and read.

Students of Ole Miss, get your butts in gear for this game.

I mean it. A higher power came to me in a dream last night and decreed the following 10 orders.

You are to do the following as soon as you're done reading this.

1) Leave class immediately. This is no time for higher learning.

2) Organize your Saturday schedule to where you can prance through the Grove, drink copious amounts of alcohol and still be in the stands one hour before kickoff.

3) Find one piece of furniture you're not attached to. Drag it into the yard for Saturday night's celebration (or wake).

4) Buy red clothing. Buy red face paint. That goes for you, too, debutantes.

5) Stock up on the essentials: toilet paper, airplane bottles of Fighting Cock and a change of underwear.

6) Do not sleep Friday night. At dawn, cover yourself in red, head to toe.

7) Notify next of kin. March to the stadium.

8) Stop for one second. Realize this is the biggest football game you'll ever witness and take a moment to revel in the true beauty that is coming of age in this blessed town at this blessed university.

You could be fighting a war in some third world country right now (or living in Starkville), but instead you're at a game you can tell your grandchildren about.

9) Enter Vaught-Hemmingway.

10) Unleash holy hell.

You want a pep talk? Bulletin board material?
I'm your man, so if you're not fired up by the end of this column, ask for your money back.

Remember that cutesy-poo Ole Miss motto of "Open Doors"?

Well, shut 'em. Lock and load folks, because the Cajuns are coming.

It's come to light that in villas such as Jackson and Biloxi, LSU fans are flooding talk radio and Internet chat rooms with a barrage of heavy handed insults.

How they got computers mystifies me, but I've been hit with a ton of e-mails from faithful Rebels throughout the South who've been attacked by Tiger disciples claiming this Saturday to be a "pushover win," a "rout," a "cake walk," a "lubricated rodgering in the gang showers," if you will.

In the words of Nappy Roots, "Aw naw. Hell naw. Y'all done up and done it."

Perhaps you faithful readers have forgotten my all-encompassing disgust with anyone or thing from Cajun country.

I might have my hands tied on the NFL front (thanks Falcons), but allow me to parlay my hatred of the Bayou onto the college front.

If you're annoyed by these slope-headed goobers in purple and gold, do not raise a hand in anger.

Remember to be sympathetic, because if a Cajun is insulting Ole Miss, he or she is probably having to do it by reading off a cue card written in phonetics while suffering through a bout of syphilis.

Also understand that there isn't much going on in central Louisiana (other than daily reenactments of "Deliverance"), so this is all that these gene pool bonanzas have going for them.

You try copulating with your cousin/sibling/household pet more than twice a week.

Eventually you have to move onto barnyard animals, then inanimate objects and finally just a Glamour Shots portrait of Matt Mauck.

It gets repetitive.

Really, it's a simple mathematical formula: anytime you take the intellectual gold mine that is redneck America, multiply it by everyone's favorite foreign culture (the French) and add on a gorgeous landscape of mud that's slowly sinking into the Gulf Of Mexico.

You're bound to get annoying people.

But exercise patience with Louisianites, or just jangle your car keys.

They'll watch in awe.

The only alarming claim coming from the Kitty Kat elite is that "we'll take over the bars and parties, just like we do in every other town we go to. We rule the rowdy!"

Uh, that might not be a good idea. Technically Mississippi is the "Hospitality State," but a single drunken insult or aggressive move toward an Oxford bar employee or police officer will most definitely get you a down-home welcome, via a Mag-Lite to the teeth.

It's time folks, and even though I wasn't born red and blue, I feel like this is the game I've waited my whole life to watch...while sober and in dress clothes (Man, that press box rule sucks).

Seriously though, exercise a reasonable amount of safety, act like an adult and remember one simple thing: It's just a football game.

Yeah, right.

It's too late for the Tiger nation to apologize.

Redraw the state lines, because we're not taking prisoners

IAM4LSU2 · 11-20-2003, 08:41 AM

You said it... GARBAGE. I can't believe they printed that. There are so many things wrong with that article. I hope I don't see that guy when I go to ole piss... might need some bail money.

chooselsu · 11-20-2003, 08:44 AM

What a complete slob and loser that guy is. Everyone feel free to email him your thoughts...click on his name on the article for a link to his email address. That guy redefines the word idiot.

Tigerdog007 · 11-20-2003, 08:47 AM

I sent him an email. I just said that his little article was completely classless and he should be fired for being an prejudice moron!! Just my opinion, but I say we hit him up with some emails. Not trash talk, but just to let him know we have more class in South Louisiana than he will ever have!!!!!!!!

He follows all of that senseless banter with the following comment:

This guy is a joke.

mesquite tiger · 11-20-2003, 09:00 AM

how can you not sit back and laugh at this hillbilly and his warped view of Louisiana and its residents. If anyone can drudge up the info, let's see where the state of Mississippi ranks in the nation in regards to education.

I read articles like this and laugh...these are the types of things that happen when you give a moron a pen and paper and tell him to write the first thing that comes to his mind.

Let's nominate this guy for the Nobel Prize for Literature!

marcmc99 · 11-20-2003, 09:05 AM

Wonder if this guy realizes their hero eli is from New Orleans. Hope Robert Lane enjoys reading this article.

Bestbank Tiger · 11-20-2003, 09:06 AM

Funny...I've never heard of Southerners saying "Thank God for Louisiana".

This guy can talk when hOMo fans quit throwing bottles at rival fans--the only school where such behavior is DOCUMENTED.

He can run his pen when they win a conference title.

He can talk about class when we have a race riot that leaves two people dead.

What an assclown.

DarkHornet · 11-20-2003, 09:09 AM

I just can't believe they'd allow that to be printed in the school newspaper. I can't imagine the Revielle allowing anything like that to go in.

G-man33 · 11-20-2003, 09:12 AM

It's amazing how he can ramble on about Louisiana, and then turn around and support a team that is lead by a Quarterback that I believe was born and raised in Louisiana. I also find it strange that if Mississippi is so great why did Archie stay in Louisiana and raise his family here and not in the beloved state of Mississippi. Maybe he needs to think about his comments. Just another example of someone making a statement and showing his or her intelligence.

AUMorgan21 · 11-20-2003, 09:16 AM

Is this a new thing?? Is there not an article similar to that in the LSU paper? Every year the week before the AU/UGA game there is a very similar letter in our school newspaper from a UGA writer, and one in their paper for an AU writer. I dont know why they do it, but its there every year. I think it just serves as gasoline to fuel the fires, and get everyone fired up for the game. Seems like its working.

I just wondered if this was a first time thing with you guys, cause Ive read mess like that every year I was at Auburn.

WAR DAMN EAGLE!! BEAT BAMA!!

DarkHornet · 11-20-2003, 09:20 AM

I've never seen an LSU writer write anything like that. Maybe other people here have, but I don't believe the LSU paper would allow garbage like that in there.

marcmc99 · 11-20-2003, 09:34 AM

I'd like to hear your comments on this article, rebelnut.

aztiger03 · 11-20-2003, 09:55 AM

This is typical of such a school. This does not shock me. I would think they had more class. Again I was wrong. I love when these guys go off and come late Sat night eat crow.

rebelnut · 11-20-2003, 09:56 AM

Its OK for LSU to have their articles but if someone from OM writes something,God forbid them.Once again is it that LSU can dish it out but not take it?

rebelnut · 11-20-2003, 09:58 AM

That guy has no class but the article I listed above is total "CLASS" huh?Don't be so pathedic.

mesquite tiger · 11-20-2003, 10:01 AM

I actually see a lot of truthful things in the article from LSU. Yall do hang at the grove, dress overly nice for gameday, and eat off fine china. You also chant Hotty Totty, which only you and the rest of your fans know what that is. The butt crack comment was a little off kilter, but humor does the soul good.

The article from Ole Miss is nothing but name calling and b.s.

This is a shot at the ole miss football program. The stuck in the mud reference means that although you are having a good season, eli will be gone next year, and your program will be unable to move forward, as the LSU program has the past few years under Saban, and slip back into the mediocrity you suffer through every other year.

I saw no inbreeding references or shots at the residents of Mississippi or ole miss fans. This is an article about the football program at ole miss. Period.

AUMorgan21 · 11-20-2003, 10:03 AM

Ahh, my instincts told me that there was at least something similar in the LSU paper. Granted, it wasnt the same caliber of smack talk, but none-the-less, its still taking digs at the other team. This kind of stuff goes on with every heated rivalry, although the only one I remember reading were articles from UGA writers. Im really surprised that Bama/AU doesnt do it too.

WAR DAMN EAGLE!! BEAT BAMA!!

Cajun_Bengal · 11-20-2003, 10:03 AM

The article in the LSU makes no reference to the people in general of Mississippi. It is just poking fun at gameday in Oxford.

DarkHornet · 11-20-2003, 10:12 AM

You have to be kidding if you think that article compares to the Ole Miss article. No where does he take personal shots at the people of Mississippi. You are really reaching, and it's pathetic. (BTW, at least I can spell pathetic)

Taking shots at the LSU team would be one thing, what's getting everyone here so pissed off is he's trying to take shots at the people of Louisiana as a whole. That kind of thing has no place in any respectable journalism. Then again who said the Ole Miss newspaper was respectable journalism.

rebelnut · 11-20-2003, 10:14 AM

I am not saying he couldn't have refrained from the attack about the whole state but it is a 2 way street.I have heard similar stuff coming out of BR all week and have definately heard stuff about toothless rednecks and trailor parks on here all week.I am not saying I agree with it but again it is a 2 way street.
