"If we get 31pts on bama, we've def. improved"
- Thread starter Indndawg
- Start date
So how many are the mighty Bulldogs going to score against Bama?
I would think that if the over/under for OM and State combined was 31 against Bama, that most people would take the under. With that said, if we score 31 on Bama, it would be more than improvement, it would be a minor miracle.
I know stupid comes by the barrel around here, but if you don't think scoring 31 on Bama would mean that OM has a really good offense then you are as ignorant as the rest of the lot.

I'm going to go with a quote from Gladiator here. If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!

If you get 31 on Bama it's because they put the cheerleaders and water-boys in. Not because your one good player on offense connected with your crybaby qb for 31 points.
Since when does how well you lose mean that much? Oh I guess only if you are OM. #taom

One thing I'm sure of, after we get our *** handed to us on Saturday there will be at least a half dozen threads here about how much we suck, as if getting our *** handed to us by Alabama this year will be some surprise and determine what the rest of the season holds. They will be handing out ***-whippings all year long to every single team they play, including yours.
I'll be happy if we keep them under a half-hundred and don't have any injuries. A touchdown scored is gravy. We are ****** and we know it, Alabama won't be a measuring stick of anything.
no, apparently you dont know it. All I keep seeing are posts by your fans about how you guys have a chance at a bowl game.
Seeing how early Vegas lines had us at 9-3 in the preseason... with the 3rd loss being +1.5 against Arkansas.
By all means, this is similar to thinking you will win three SEC games as touchdown plus underdogs in each...
Ummmmmm, Mullen's first few years rings a bell. State wasn't winning every game but it was damn well apparent the team was improving and the team took pride in that. Don't believe me, go back in the SPS archives and look at all the moral victory threads. Losing sucks, but there are such things as building blocks when your team gets so depleted as the Croom years and Nutt's last couple of years.
And it's not isolated to Mississippi schools. It's ludicrous to think a team cannot be evaluated positively in a loss. Only a fool would view a loss and fail to see some positives that were surely evident.
Don't Cancel your reservations in ATL just yet.**
Well I can honestly say that struggling with a **** team opening week, sputtering against another **** team week 2, getting first *** handing week 3, and beating the 150th ranked team out of 124 FBS schools, does not really suggest an average team, let alone one that will even sniff a W against a decent team. This season is a prime example of red and blue delusional blinders, if I've ever seen one. Beat noone and get it handed to you in the 2nd quarter by a possible top 25 team and its Sugar Bowl or bust if you listen to any bear fans.
Ole Miss' season thus far is like trying to determine the tallest midget.

We will be favored in all of our remaining games except LSU and Alabama. You will not be favored in any your remaining games, save Vanderbilt possibly. We can get to 10-2 with no upsets, while you will need 2 or 3 to get to 6-6.
Although it's nothing to get all giddy about, it's very apparent that Ole Miss is better than last year, even if it's not talent but just the desire to play hard and play the entire game. Their "giving up" could be seen most of the year last year, and especially in the Egg Bowl when it appeared the players just didn't care about being there.
So yes, they have a much better attitude this year ... but it was so low last year that almost any improvement is noteworthy. They won't beat Alabama (and probably nobody else will either), but if they were to happen to score 31 it would mean that Bama has about 80 and the nth string defense had been in a while. In that case, it wouldn't be reason to celebrate too much, but I suppose I really couldn't blame them for a little pride in that they didn't give up.
And if things continue, I expect the Egg Bowl this year to be a lot more competitive than it was last year.

I dont think anyone has stated the obvious, which is....there is no way in hell OM scores 31 on Alabama. They might get a cheap TD or two, but 31? Come on....
Again
you are hinting at irony. Did you not read and comprehend my posts on this the other day? You assclowns are just getting the **** y'll threw at us for the past decade. You 17ers sure can dish it, but cannot even handle taking it.

Yeah, I saw that... Ole Miss's 1st team Offense could play our 1st/2nd team Defense for 8-12 quarters and not get 31 points...
I don't think Bama's 1st team D has given up a TD scoring "drive" in 2 years...

And Florida State's is 174. What's your point? Most teams, including yours, have front loaded their schedules with the cupcakes. It will even out in league play. Oh by the way, we are 1-0. How bout you?
You guys are like Hitler in the last days of WWII, moving armies that really did not exist around a map thinking that there was still a chance. You still suck but you can't see it. The best team you guys have played was Texas and until they win more than 7 games in the regular season they are average at best and looking at their schedule they may not do it this year.<o

When State lost 45-0 in the Egg Bowl, you could tell the players didn't care; they weren't motivated anymore and it showed. Ole Miss looked like that ALL of last year. We're not great this year, or even good, but the players are giving effort and we're seeing what looks like better coaching on the field. I honestly think we'd be doing ok to lose to Bama 52-20. Our defense is probably about as bad as Arkansas' but our offense is a lot better than theirs without Tyler Wilson. After last season "we could lose every game" was a distinct possibility, especially given how little was known about Freeze. Most Ole Miss fans are pleasantly surprised and I think there's reason for optimism. To make a bowl we have to win 3 of Auburn, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, A&M, or State. We should have played another OOC squash match like MSU did (no bash intended, that's smart scheduling). Winning three of those is a very long shot this year, though I think we'll at least stop our SEC losing streak.

In all honesty UM does look better than they did at the end of last year. I'm not sure they look that much better than they did early on. Its hard to tell right now because we dont know how good Texas is. Same for us because we dont know how good Auburn is. Auburn hasn't looked that bad in two of their losses, but they are still 1-3. My gut feeling is Texas and Auburn are roughly similar but thats only a ill educated guess.
Have you ever heard of a hypothetical question?
That's what that was. Not one person actually said they thought we would score 31.
But that would ruin your rant.

No. Considering we won 9 in his second year, we were not counting the moral victories for a "few years." Even in year one, we played LSU to the wire and beat your best team in 50 years...slightly different than giving up 60 to a team that likely won't finish in the top 10.
LOSE AGAIN! You got as much chance of winning an arguement as your team has of winning an SEC game. Enjoy your 3-9 season LoserRED!
Mullen never surrendered 66 points at home. We played LSU(ranked #7) at home and almost won with that short little QB. Did you think you almost beat Texas which is the only legitimate team you've played? We stood behind Mullen because the improvements were real! Some of ya'll are trying to spin this **** into a PR campaign for recruiting, and it's not fooling anybody but your gullible fanbase. If you can't tell your defense mailed it in the second half of the Texas game then you're just blind. Even your own coach said before the season began that about 60% of your players have bought in to his program. Do your seriously think they're all in now? If so, then you're even worse than we think you are. Plus, you just sound like a lot of us when Croom was our coach, in otherwords "false optimism".
Thank you for the logic shsdawg......
Regardless of what the rebels says, they had not given up in the first few games of last year. They lost to BYU in a close game where BYU was just better than they were, beat Southern Illinois and Fresno, and lost in a down game on the road to Vandy, who was better than they were. They played Georgia a solid game. Alabama beat the hell out of them like everyone else, but then Nutt had them ready to play Arkansas for sure and probably should have won....that's a Top 5 team right there. Can't exactly remember when Nutt announced his resignation but THAT was when Ole Miss fell apart, not before.
****, Nutt was on cloud nine after the 2011 recruiting class, and so were their fans. And if he beats BYU and Arkansas, he's still the coach today. They would have been 4-3 going into Auburn.
Biggest beef I have is that the rebels are saying they are improved due to effort. ********. They played hard last year too until the coach got fired. They just didn't have the talent to pull out some wins. They look the damn same to me, terrible defense, and throwing up hail marys to Moncrief constantly. Mackey and Scott ran the ball last year too.
Notice I did not say at any point that they will be a cakewalk for MSU, especially in Oxford.

How could u score 20pts when they have NOT even given up a TD in like forever? Plus you say your offense is "better" than Arky's....? How are you comparing this? Tyler Wilson is a 17ing first or early second rd draft pick. Bo Wallace isn't. Knile Davis is another, where is your draft pick RB? OL wise is similar but they still have you beat. Yes you have Moncreif and he is very good but Arky had a kid catch over 300yds Saturday. So explain to me how you are better than them on offense? This is the "spin" stuff these guys are talking about. And honestly you better hope Bucky doesn't play Wallace alt in that game Saturday if he does he won't make it out of the game without getting hurt badly. I just don't get how you people think you can score even 1 TD much less 20 or 31 pts.
You're aware that Tyler Wilson didn't play against Alabama, right?
Yes, I think our offense is better than Arkansas' without Tyler Wilson, which is what I said in my first post. I don't know that we will score a single point against Alabama, or why some of you care so much. Regardless I doubt we will learn much from the Alabama game, other than Ole Miss doesn't really belong on the same field... we knew that going in, and I think that will be true for several SEC teams this year.

I agree, OP4... but wouldn't 10 to 17...
been both hypothetical and realistic?
31 might as well be "eleventy-bajillion-million"....

Maybe the thread needs to be titled: O/U, how many tears B. Wallace cries and...

I can't say for certain if Ole Miss Offense > Arkie Offense - Wilson...
but I do know this: the Bama/UM matchup certainly appears more lopsided than the Bama/Arkie matchup...
With yall's spread attack, I think there may be a lot of quick 3 and outs... and yalls D is really soft in the middle already. How will your front 7 be beginning the 4th when they've been on the field for 30 of 45 minutes gettin pounded like a Thai hooker? yall might be better off taking 3 knees and punting on 4th and 13 while running off 2+ minutes/possession.
note: not that there's anything wrong with Thai hookers....
