"They seem genuinely convinced they're members of some landed Southern aristocracy because they own a blazer, drink bourbon, and once stood near a chandelier. That's what makes Ole Miss arrogance so spectacular.
Texas arrogance is backed by money, academics, and championships. Alabama arrogance is backed by the greatest football dynasty the sport has ever seen.
Ole Miss arrogance is backed by a bow tie, a tailgate, and a deeply held conviction that putting on loafers magically transforms a Mississippi redneck into a member of the British peerage. They're not even pretending to be athletic royalty anymore. They've skipped directly to pretending they're actual royalty. The Grove isn't Versailles. Oxford isn't the Hamptons. And wearing pastel pants while getting hammered under a tent doesn't make you high society. It makes you a redneck with a dress code.”

A heart of pure gold who made people smile across oceans.
When you launched a couple of Wiffle homers on a 90-degree day then came inside with your friends and plowed through about a half-dozen of these bastards ... nobody tells you at the time but that’s actually about as good as life gets.
@jontweetssports I’m sure that one will go about as well for them as it did for Vanderbilt in 2021 after they *twice* opted out of our game that year, forcing cancellation of Senior Day in Athens.
I don't think this is a shot at Texas, but it could be...
“A lot of these kids, nowadays, they want a check. They don’t want physicality.
"If you have the check and no physicality, you end up with nothing.
"We’re not just getting checks at our place. We’re hitting people.”
@CollegeGameDay just a reminder to line up UGA alum and (fictional) Texas HS coaching legend Kyle Chandler as the guest picker when you come to Athens for UGA-UT.
