despite the fact that four of those wins came against two SWAC members in Jackson State and Alcorn State, and featherweights UAB and Middle Tennessee State. You can also throw in two wins against rival Mississippi, which clearly belonged in the same breath of the aforementioned four teams in 2010.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the way the writer lines up facts is absurd. He pokes fun at us for finishing fifth in the division--this could easily be used as an argument for a season that is more impressive than 9 wins, since we had to play AU, Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas. Then, he inexplicably places Memphis into the five key wins, leaving this bunch with a 27-36 record. Memphis accounted for 11of these losses. He also minimizes any Kentucky losses by stating that UK had 12 losses in the last 2 years (failing to mention that it reached a bowl game in 2 straight years). <div>
</div><div>Finally, your opponents always look worse when you are winning. Turn those 5 "key wins" into losses and Memphis, UGA, Florida, Houston, and Michigan are suddenly above .500 at 32-31. It's not an accident that the teams we beat have a poor record--they must have at least one loss.</div>

It is the typical "Little MS schools ought to know their place" piece. Screw 'em. And congrats to the Bullies for an awesome end to a fine season!
