No one was exactly sure why Bumphis made the comments. Did he say them from experience or was he poking fun at this year’s Cinderella recruiting class at his college rival Ole Miss?
After seeing his next tweet, you have to think he was just fishing for a reaction and taking a jab at the Rebels.
Funny. I tweet that and the only people offended are my sweet little rebel followers!! Guilty much??? Possibly. Lol

This is the kind of stuff that makes college sports so entertaining. College rivalries never die and they stick with you long after you make your final walk across the stage in your cap and gown.
