The way I see it:

1. At the end of the day, tomorrow night IS just a football game. Win or lose, life goes on…for us. The Ole Miss fanbase appears to have their whole raison d’etre tied to this game, so a loss for them would be devastating.

2. Win or lose, our future looks bright. Them? TBD.

So hey…all the pressure is on THEM. And it’s of their own making.

losing tomorrow is way more devastating for Ole Miss than it is for LSU.

Only reason losing tomorrow would absolutely suck for LSU is because we have A&M right after, which is always a tossup so the potential for two losses in a row would be there, and who knows how this new team would handle that.

Ole Miss legit has more to lose with a loss tomorrow night because now Playoff Pete would be backed into a smaller corner needing to prove himself more and more.

If we lose tomorrow, I feel confident we will still be competing for national titles this season and beyond. Yeah we’ll all be embarrassed and disappointed for a week, and everyone will laugh at us, but we will be fine and all will be well after taking care of A&M next week.

If they lose tomorrow, the end is now for them.

No doubt about it.

A loss tomorrow night would be disappointing. But I’m not gonna jump off the I-10 bridge over it. Sunday morning, win or lose, I’m gonna get up and go about my day.

I've been saying this for weeks. These people are truly unhinged and their loudness masks their fear of losing and being exposed. They have had a small taste of success and cannot comprehend going back to their usual 8-4 or 7-5 but the fear is real. It's like taking away money from someone who has just gotten it.

Without question. Lsu is used to these type games over last 25 years. It is just another high ranked match up with a chance to improve playoff . We know OM is a flash in the pan. The outcome of this game defines their identity. The sad thing is those people havent had any championship success in over a half a century....none. it would be easy to pull for the fanbase to finally have championship success, IF THEY WERENT SUCH A PATHETIC CHILD LIKE FANBASE.

Its definitely a must-win for both imo... Ole Miss has to head to the Swamp next Saturday.

I think win or lose Ole Miss is done after this game.
They seem to have devoted an entire off season to this one game that regardless of the outcome the rest of the season won't matter.

I understand the premise but it still has must win vibes for me.
It’s not a must win, it just feels that way

Idk what happens tomorrow night but I do know which coach I’d prefer to be leading my team for the foreseeable future. This will be Ole Miss last year to be relevant. They will slowly decline back to what they have historically been, mediocre .

Hey, here is a little secret. It’s always this way!

And they’re insecure. Let’s just be frank about it.

Ole Miss claims 3 national titles (1959, 1960, 1962). But they’re not real. They’re fugazis. The accepted arbiters of who was #1 at the end of the season at the time were the AP (writers) and UPI (coaches) polls. Look up their champions for each of those years. Ole Miss/University of Mississippi is nowhere to be found. Their “championships” come from systems like Dunkel, Billingsley and Sagarin. In other words, like a lot of Bama’s claimed titles…not truly recognized.


We have ”championships” like that too…we just don’t claim them. We have 4 legitimate ones, we don’t have to.

If Ole Miss loses it will be a death spiral from which they will not recover. Chambliss's hopes for being their first Heisman will take a huge hit.

LSU loss, unless it's a blowout (unlikely) would suck, but we win out we are in the SEC championship and the playoffs.

But it isn't, if we are truly good. We have rest of hardest games at home. OM has a few very tough road games

I agree with the point you're making, but with LSU host another top 10 team next week and Ole Miss heading to Gainesville, the loser of this game will be facing a real chance at a 2-2 start, while the winner will very likely jump to the #2 team in the country and will have a ton of cushion to let a game or 2 slip for the rest of the year and still make the playoff.

So much on the line emotionally, for the early season, for the entirety of the season, and for Ole Miss's program as a whole. This is the Implication Bowl.
