OLE MISS GETS NEW TEE-VEE
Ole Miss is refurbishing in more than just the coaching department, skipping past the $1200 flat-screen you likely chose for your homestead and going to the $6 million Daktronics HD set. You would have gotten that one if you had any balls, but let us tell you that it’s not all it’s purported to be: once you sweat the $6 mil, you’ve still got to pay for all the broken windows you’ll have-hordes of bugs are trying to get to his thing, and they’re not letting a little double-insulated glass stand in the way of orbiting their LED-fueled light-god.
Did we mention we haven’t slept in a month, and that it heats your living room to a cool 142 degrees Fahrenheit? You should see Animal Rescue Houston on this thing, though. The mange is mind-blowing.
It’s about time Ole Miss made the upgrade, though. The old scoreboard was starting to look a bit antediluvian. (Pic contains one suggestive image of a sexual nature in tiny, tiny detail. Be advised.)

It was worse before the beer coozy-shaped hot tub with Cooper Manning in it was removed from the board’s top prior to the 2005 season. (HT: Ragin’ Cajun Rebel.)

Why would Ole Miss want a bigger scoreboard? So aliens could now see them get skulldrug by LSU again?

I heard Miss. St. was looking into the same model, but worried the Sopwith Camel might get hung up in the antennae during the flyover.

Houston Nutt has been listening to Dire Straits again, and he obviously took “Money For Nothing” to heart…

While we’re upgrading the stadium how bout adding some
indoor plumbing. Last year I was forced to crap in my blazer
which I then gave to my pledge brother to hold.

Ah, but thanks to Doc Foglesong’s little hissy-fit (not to be confused with Ron Polk’s bigger hissy-fit) and the like, the Sopwith Camel has been grounded.

Will there be a daytime fireworks show at the unveiling?

It really speaks volumes about Coach O that making Ole Miss jokes about “the merely insane” Houston Nutt seems like a let down.

To most Ole Miss fans, the “sexually suggestive” part is the Confederate Flag.

I only just noticed the “suggestive image” after going back and looking after the last couple of posts….Freek is very, very sneaky sir.

Nice to have another Lemsday with da Coach O. The fact that nobody around me understands what I’m doing when I sometimes spontaneously breakout into orgeronspeak makes it even better.

It would be a dang fine addition to the Watermelon Carnival too!

The only thing LSU Freek missed was the aluminum foil between the rabbit ears. Excellent work sirs.

HAHA, that was funny AND original, MorningBeer!!! Let me guess, either you are from another SEC school, which means your state has little room to talk or you’ve never been to MS? Either way, kiss my ass.

Garrett’s just upset because he knows not of this “electricity” of which MorningBeer speaks.

KT comes from good stock. Swindle got an invite to the fishing camp last year before the Florida/Ole Miss game. Fishing and a low country shrimp boil. Homeboy will never know how close he could have been to God’s country.

I can’t believe Orson missed out!
I love that area (mom and dad from there) and I miss the summers of my youth in Water Valley, Mississippi!
I loved the church baseball league. I would be a Methodist one year, a Presbyterian one year, a Baptist a couple of times. All depending on who had room on the roster by the time the Alabama schools let out for summer!

#16, Mississippi has had electricity for years but they don’t let
everyone know about it so that they can keep the nigras from
acquiring said resource.

Crabapple, I can tell you are a transplant to the South by your reference to “aluminum foil”. TIN foil my man, TIN!

We like to call it the PoweTron in honor of everyone’s favorite 6′4″ 360lb, illiterate DT.

Garrett, are you conference profiling? You football racist, you.

I heard this J-tron is amazing and that is can actually shrink the font of the away team the higher their score gets. Hope we got an upgrade of that feature.

MorningBeer, I can’t help it if I’m a SEC-supremacist…My dream, my hope is to lead the nation to a point where the SEC champ has automatic bid to the Nat. Champ game

Why do Ole Miss fans want to look at their horrible plays a second time?

Morningbeer, you said
“are you conference profiling? You football racist, you.”
I believe the correct term is conferencist.

@24: +100 cocktails for “nigras,” a ‘euphamism’ that my ultra-bigoted grandmom from Selma still uses to this day. EXCELSIOR!!!!

Bear in mind that one of the more positive developments during Houston Dale’s time at Arkansas was the installation of a jumbotron. I see a pattern. I would imagine some Nutt brother is involved in the stadium screen business. Have to pay that text message bill somehow…

I’m just happy to see Cooper Manning get some props in there.
