It certainly isn't the biggest win of the season, but it's the biggest margin.
And not just of Ole Miss' season - in the SEC in 2008. Florida's 63-5 win over Kentucky was certainly more impressive, but it was only by 58 points. It eclipses the Gators' 56-10 win over Hawaii, Auburn's 34-0 win over the Warhawks (not to mention Arkansas' 1-point win over ULM), and Alabama's 41-7 win over Western Kentucky.
In case you were wondering, we last scored 59 points in the third game of 2003 against UL-Monroe, winning 59-14. This is tied for the most points scored by the Rebels in a game since a Sept. 13, 1980 game against Memphis State that ended 61-7. It is the largest margin of victory since the 1969 Homecoming game against Southern Mississippi - a 69-7 victory for the Rebels.

squawk em, hawk em!
Leaving? Where in the hell are you going?
After being carried to the wire by a different Sunbelt team, I'm not sure that I'm looking forward to next Saturday. Then again, I guess I can smile a little from the fact that we spotted them a 28 point lead 35 or so minutes into the game, and still managed to win by 9. Yeah, I'll keep telling myself that one. And, oh yes, that was after Lee managed to squeeze in yet another pick six.
No matter. We both beat our respective Sunbelt opponents. It's on, Rebels! Let's drink a lot of beer this week!
