What are you, new here?

This game should not be played tonight.

Period.

The only thing that will stop it is lighting

I hope it lightnings.

I'm shocked that our all time record is almost .500

It'll take quite some time of sustained success to get it to .500 though.

As a general rule, most pre-1950 records prop up existing FBS programs' winning percentages.

GTG!

Gonna be a great night for some Tiger Football!

GTG!

The national media & many of us have traveled many hours & spent a ton of money to be here for the game, but you're entitled to your opinion, misguided though it is.

Radio in the moving truck for me. GTG

No need to turn this into an Ole Miss thread.

I wonder how many of our "season openers" were against SEC teams?
