The thing about Ole Miss and its culture

All it takes is one.
LSU hadn't won anything since 58. Saban comes in and wins one, we all of a sudden have the expectation. Miles comes in and wins another, ED O wins one, we are now as close to blue blood as you can get without being blue blood.
Ole Miss and LSU were not far apart before the 2000s.
Kiffin wins one title there, he does something similar. It's not 1:1 but to say that Ole Miss will forever be Ole Miss ignores our history.

that’s quite a leap

Missing quite a few other things. Namely large stadium

Imagine telling someone in 1998 where LSU would be in 2025.
Yeah quite a leap, but some people act like a program is cemented to be bad if they are bad right now and have been for decades. It's untrue.

There is this misperception that LSU was what Florida was before spurrier got there
Prior to Saban LSU was 12th in all time wins and 16th in all time win percentage. LSU was not some bum school. The 90s were rough but LSU was a highy respectable football school, and just had not crossed the Rubicon yet

I will say there is some differences.
1) Louisiana only has one flagship school. Sorry ULL, you aren't one. Mississippi has two. So the residents, legislature, etc really only have one main school to pull for. Nothing is split like in Mississippi or many other states
2) while BR has its problems, it has to be easier to recruit a kid to live in BR, a city of 225,000, a be an hour from Nola vs Oxford, a city of 25k in the middle of nowhere

Ole Miss has not won a conference title since desegregation. They are a relic of a time long since gone in terms of national relevance.

LSU went 15-4-1 vs Ole Myth from 1970 until 1989. They peaked in the 60s and fell off hard after for a long time.
We were 4-6 vs them in the 90s, which were a total shite show and the worst decade in program history. And that switch flipped back as soon as Saban got here.
They have not beaten LSU back to back since 2008-09. They haven’t won 3 in a row since 97-99.
That’s not really “not far apart” like you are saying.

Winning the championships isn’t what made LSU a championship caliber program. We won those with 3 different coaches because we are a championship caliber program.
LSU had always been a sleeping giant. Ole Miss is an awake midget.

We are definitely a modern-era blue blood.

My bro
You are completely correct.
LSU had exactly one more SEC championship and ten-win season than Ole Miss at the turn of the century.

While not a flagship, Southern Miss is the biggest school in Mississippi. And they’ve been known to hold their own against the big boys, unlike ULL.

89 yards is far apart.

Ole Miss is for culturally approved rich kids, and gorgeous redheads that can't get into Vanderbilt or Rhodes

Not even close.

My bad…third largest.
Point remains. It’s no slouch.
