A few thoughts after yesterday's games

1. Arkansas has turned into a game we can win into a game we should win. They are poorly coached with a terrible defense. Also, after the comments from Tyler Wilson yesterday, I think the team isn't far from imploding. At this point they remind me a lot of 2001 MSU.

2. We don't need to play any more OOC away games against these low tier teams. It can't be easy for our players to get up for a game when you roll into Troy, AL so you can play in what is basically a high school stadium. We were flat last night and it showed.

3. Bumphis is finally starting to look like the player we all thought he might be. He is having a great year so far, and he saved us last night. I hope he can continue to have big performances against stiffer competition.

4. We need a new kicker. I have been giving Bell the benefit of the doubt up until now, but its time for me to call it like it is. If we don't make a change, and find someone better, he is going to cost us a game.

5.Tennessee is nothing to be afraid of. Their defense is hot garbage. There were few plays yesterday that embarrassed me for the Big Orange fans. They better tighten up or it is going to be a long season on Rocky Top.

6. TSUN is still horrible

7. This last one scares me because I have been a State fan for too long, but I am going to write it anyways. If we take care of business, and win the games we are capable of winning (TN, Ark, Texas A&M), we could be one upset at LSU or Bama away from a BCS birth. Now that I wrote that USA will beat us by 2 TD's next week.

Jesus... why did you write that?

Not saying this team isn't capable of doing such, but we're only in week 3. The thought is cool and all, but so much **** needs to happen before worrying about things like that.

Like you said. It's just a cool thought, and I am getting way ahead of myself. The wool is still pretty thick even after yesterday's poor performance.
