This is a nice copy and paste from what I posted on Nafoom, but for any of you that don't venture to that board, here's a quick summary of how shit went down in Baton Rouge this past Saturday.

ED: As many of y'all are aware, RedStickRebel, Koban, or whatever it is you wanna call him, is representing Ole Miss in the Tony's Tailgate Challenge with his undeniably delicious smoked duck gumbo. Here's an update and, if you get the chance, vote and tell your friends to vote too.

Standings as of Oct 20:

1. MSU (WTF, Brah?),  2. Auburn,  3. LSU,  4. Ole Miss,  5. Arkansas,  6. Bama

Thanks for all the votes so far and for letting me continue to use the Cup as a place to do a little campaigning. We were sitting in second and looking like a lock for the top three cook off, but I'm afraid we are now backed into a corner with under two weeks left in the voting. last week, Mississippi State's hotdog shoved into a meatball recipe [ED: I read the recipe and it is literally a damned hot dog wrapped in ground beef. That's the most culinarily interesting thing Oktibbeha County can produce?] inexplicably vaulted into 1st and LSU's contingent stepped it up to push us back to 4th, one spot out of the cook off. I saw a previous fan post saying that this will get a front page link in the final week, and for that I am very grateful, but I thought that it was prudent to fill everyone in on the current state which sadly has Ole Miss on the outside looking in. The cup voters are largely responsible for getting the gumbo up to 2nd, but after suddenly slipping to 4th, it is clear that we must remain vigilant.

I come to you now as a Rebel, alumnus, a lover of great food to tell you that it is up to us to rid the world of this horrible injustice, this atrocity. An authentically cajun, made completely from scratch, gumbo featuring a smoked duck, homemade Tasso, and Andouille simply cannot be beaten by a pig in a meat blanket. I challenge you now to put the voting page in a small window on your computer, leave it open all the time and click that murf when you're waiting for a report to print, or a project to save, or for your porn to load. Together, we have the power to be victorious, not only for me and the Rebel Nation, but for people everywhere who appreciate good food. [DO IT RIGHT NOW UNLESS YOU WANT AN OSCAR MEYER STUFFED INSIDE OF A BIG MAC TO REPRESENT THE MAGNOLIA STATE]

I'm systematically and shamelessly whoring myself out on various rebel sports blogs and boards begging like a crack addict for a fix. That fix? A vote in the tony chachere's tailgate cookoff competition sponsored by CSS. My buddy talked me into entering my gumbo recipe and shockingly, I made the top 12 as the Ole Miss rep. Y'all help a brotha out and vote here.

I'm simply asking that you to be a good rebel and help me further our recent domination over the great barbarian horde from the bayou by getting me into the top 3 and allowing me to bring my epic gumbo to a historic tailgate for the magnolia bowl where the final showdown is slated to be held. I'll be in the grove all year offering samples for anyone who stops by the fortress of drunkitude. Voters will be offered first dibs. Non voters are bad rebels who clearly hate ole miss and if you don't like ole miss you can git the fuck out. 

Thanks
