Things That Are More Likely to Happen than Dan Mullen Getting Some Sleep

The 2014 Egg Bowl was one of the biggest in the history of the rivalry. After being overshadowed by the Iron Bowl for years, the Egg Bowl was treated with equal regard in 2014. Thanks to #19 Ole Miss (8-3) being the home team and considered to have an excellent chance of upsetting hopefully/potentially (ask TCU and Baylor about playof hopes and dreams though) College Football Playoff bound #4 Mississippi State (10-1), the matchup as eagerly anticipated throughout much of the country.

Ole Miss pulled out trick plays and carved up Mississippi State’s secondary, eventually winning 31-17. Mississippi State Head Coach Dan Mullen took the loss especially hard, given that he despises Ole Miss. Mullen had even described his dislike on the Dan Patrick Show by proclaiming, “There’s nothing personal about any individual, about any of their players — I know and recruited a lot of their players. I know their coaches, got a lot of respect for them. It’s more just a dislike for the institution as a whole.”

Dan Mullen also proceeded to throw his defensive coordinator under the bus, drive over him, back over him and drive over him again in his post game press conference. You can watch that here from saturdaydownsouth.com. But there was something that stood out even more to many, especially Ole Miss fans.

Mullen, extremely irritated at losing to Ole Miss for the second time in three seasons, claimed he wouldn’t “be able to frickin’ sleep for 365 days”. Some Ole Miss jumped on the opportunity and created their own website to troll Mullen: IsDanMullenTiredYet.com.

A lot of unlikely things have happened since Dan Mullen last “slept.”
