The University of Mississippi?

I come in ignorance. Three things I've always wanted to know about you guys.

#1 - Why do you go by "Ole Miss" instead of just Mississippi? What does Ole Miss stand for, or mean? You guys are ranked #16 in most polls, but it doesn't say Mississippi as your title, it says Ole Miss instead.

#2 - What is your official nickname? I've heard Rebels and I've heard Rebs. Which is correct?

#3 = The Egg Bowl? What is that all about? I heard about the game and even watched a couple on TV, but I don't know what it means.

BTW - Thanks for putting Alabama in their place earlier in the year.

That was damned rude, olemiss11! The poster had a great question, and you blew him/her off. Get the hell off this board, or apologize! Ole Miss fans are classy, but not you, moron!!

Great question, contrary to some dimwit who thinks otherwise.

No he wasn't. He was being a smartbutt. When someone says I come in ignorance there are being a smartbutt.

A lot of people ask that question. So what? By the way, it's "they're" not "there" are being a smart butt.

Olemiss11.... You're being a douche! The OP was complimentary and asked a legitimate question.

Thanks to Tiny Elvis for answering.

Beatles, I think olemiss 11 probably had this rookie-troll pegged accurately.

Why doesn't he say so? Tell us something olemiss11. Pees me off when I see rude and disrespectful comments.

Troll or not, it's probably best to kill 'em with kindness.

Ok, TinyElvis, I'll take your advice. Funny Soybean hasn't said anything.
