It’s all been said about Saturday’s highly anticipated matchup between No. 1 Alabama and No. 19 Ole Miss.
The Rebels have been the lone pain in Alabama’s butt the last two seasons and can join the late ’90s version of Purdue as the last school to win three straight over Nick Saban.
Ole Miss is under Bama’s skin, and Tide fans are reacting on Twitter. Here are some things that should make you laugh and some things Alabama fans should have kept to themselves.

And we’re off …
Suppose Kerry would know. Bio says “freelance bathroom stall artist.”
Despite Ole Miss winning at home two seasons ago and at Byrant-Denny last season, Vegas has pushed the Crimson Tide to 10-point favorites on Saturday in Oxford.
Unless you are Purdue before the turn of the century, beating a Saban-coached team just doesn’t happen.

Alabama DE Jonathan Allen didn’t seem to make this statement as a controversial piece of bulletin board material, but it came out kind of sideways when he said: “They’re the next team on our schedule, so they’re the next team that has to get it.”
Turth is, Ole Miss has recently been the one giving “it” to Alabama. From Senquez Golson’s interception to seal it two years ago with Katy Perry in the Ole Miss student section to the Rebels building a 30-10 lead before holding on last season, the Rebels have Alabama’s number.
A lot of Alabama fans call it a non-rivalry. There is a point to be taken about Alabama’s domination up to this point. It had been a decade since Ole Miss beat the Tide until two seasons ago.
But to say it isn’t getting under the skins of Tide fans is inaccurate.

The analysis is fun. The predictions are fun, but the smack is well, even more fun.
Oxford won’t need ESPN’s College GameDay in order to be raucous. The Rebels firmly believe they can win, and so do their fans.
Alabama fans know their Tide can win, though after two years of losing to the Rebels, there is that shred of doubt. That doubt has fueled this hate.
ole miss spends all year hating bama…we only spend one week #OleMissHateWeek

Make no mistake, Alabama hates losing to Ole Miss. And a lot of Alabama fans spent the past 51 weeks writing down these tweet ideas. And the postgame reaction on social media and elsewhere will be something to behold.
