For the most part yes. I know some cool USM fans. I know you guys aren't all bad. But the ones that claim Ole Miss and State are scared to play them get under my skin because it's fricking stupid. And saying that they could compete and win in the SEC when they barely win 7 games a year in C-USA also irritated me.

They didn't fire Bower he resigned.

He was forced to resign. Which is the same thing as firing him essentially. Nutt wasn't fired at Arkansas, but just forced to resign. He was the most successful coach in USM's history and they ran him off because they thought the program deserved better. And it was after an 8 win season.

I work with an Ole Miss fan and he's always saying this shite and it's just stupid, I just let it go in one ear and out the other.

The program did deserve better and they got better(except Johnson) after Bower was "let go."

That was one of most wins in a season. It's not hard to win in a cupcake conference like C-USA, if you're a good coach you should AT LEAST win 8 games even on a bad year.

USM was 7-6 in Bower's last year. And Bower wasn't really the most successful coach in USM history. He was just there the longest. Other coaches had a better win%.
