Is @$!* really that bad or did Nutt just make a huge mistake

[Statefan1001]

After watching the game on Saturday, what are the current opinions on how good the reb's will be this year?

Was the game just a fluke, or is this going to be a long season for the Havard of the south?

Their defense imploded in the Second half of the Egg Bowl. Their offense relied too much on Dexter McCluster last year. Maybe Jeremiah Masoli will fit into the offense, maybe not.

They should win against Tulane. However, they should've won against lowly, Division II Jacksonville State (who was soundly stomped by admittedly bad Mississippi State teams in 2002 and 2006).

Bad teams almost always get better as the season progresses. By the same token, good teams at the start have the potential to go down. Plus, OM does have good players and coaches. So I'm enjoying the moment, but I don't think it has anything to do with what happens this coming Thanksgiving weekend.

Part of it is also the pointy-ended ball. One of the great things about football is that a weaker team can sometimes prevail with a good bounce. JSU's first td is an example of this happening. Another thing that happens is the weaker team gets inspired and starts clicking while the team that has lost a 3 score lead is going, "damn. Can't somebody (else but me) stop this ****?" And in the Team from Up North's case, the riveting answer was a chest-guffaw inducing 'no'. The fouth and 15 was a great throw and catch. Obviousy, JSU's quarterback is a hgh level player.

The fact that Ole Miss's D gave up so many points has to be their biggest concern. That's the kind of thing that can be improved. No way they stay that bad. In fact, I predict that 49 will be the most they give up this season. Of course, I hope I'm wrong. It'd be great to see them continuously suck for a decade or so, unable to stop anybody or get a first down. Better than anything except seeing us not suck for a decade or so.

Things I learned on Saturday:

1. Our D line is way overrated. Assuming they can read, they should stop reading all their press and learn how to play football. If I'm not mistaken, JSU had 2 or 3 of their starters on the O line out. We got no pressure all day. An SEC team like say Bama will *** rape our front four and make them grunt like piglets.

2. Wayne Dorsey is slower than smoke off a fresh **** during deer season. If he is a 5star, I'm a gold medal decathlete.

3. Our QBs are not too shabby. We got much better play there than I expected. Stanley throws a nice ball. Masoli is a player. Wish both could play D.

4. Our WRs looked solid. I dont remember seeing that many open all last year. Im not just talking about the ones that got the ball either. I wish we would have thrown it more in the 3rd quarter.

5. The middle of our O line is not very good....actually, it probably isnt worth a crap. JSU clogged up the middle pretty much the entire day.

6. Nix has been teabagged 2 of the last 3. That should be more than a little concerning to fans......and his boss. 49 to JSU....really?

7. You can never. I mean NEVER take your foot off the gas in college football these days. You need a 6 or 7 TD lead to think about it. I know we lost because our D was a pile of aeresol feces, but Nutt put it in neutral way too early. We dominated the 1st half like we should have and then played grab *** right from the get go in the 2nd half. Taking to foot off the gas at the half with a 3 TD lead = premature ejaculation.

8. On the mascot: Landshark my ***. After the MSU and JSU fiascos, if I ever hear that again, I will puke. To the dipshit that had the full body shark outfit on in the Grove, I hope it was worth it. I would have loved to have seen that on the way out after Landsharking 49 points to JSU. From here on out, I will use the term "Landsharking" to describe rolling over and playing dead or not doing something to your full abilities. "I played in a golf tourney last weekend. I hit 14 fairways, 14 greens, and shot 82. I was a LANSHARKING bastard on the greens."

9. The white out was a great idea and the fans did a solid job of supporting the effort. Unfortunately JSU thought we were a sea of waving surrender flags and went in for the kill.

10. Jeff Scott is fast. John Avery fast.

I think we will see them improve as Masoli learns their system and gets use to playing down south. One thing I can guarantee though is that no matter what their record is at Thanksgiving, they'll be pumped up and ready for the Egg Bowl this year. WE better be ready for that game!!!!

 

[Indndawg]

near as good as 80% of their delusional fan-base says they are.

That said, having lost to one of the cupcakes puts so much more pressure on.

[Indndawg]

give the rebs credit, they can turn a negative phrase or two

I'll say what I posted on Nafoom.

I fully expected the Rebels to suck this year. Most of the talent they've had the last couple years is gone. They've very young and have no depth.

The loss to JSU was unexpected, but not surprising.

The loss to JSU was unexpected, but not surprising.

I thought they would struggle this year too. But the loss to JSU "not surprising"? Come on now. They are an FCS team. These types of losses are historical.

 

[dawgstudent]

You are never not shocked when a SEC school loses to a 1-AA team.

"I hit 14 fairways, 14 greens, and shot 82. I was a LANSHARKING bastard on the greens."

I once hit 16 greens in regulation on a golf course down in Gulfshores. (The Plantation maybe?) The two greens that I missed? I got up and down for par and one of those was in a sand trap. I also had two eagle putts that day. My score? Also an 82. Count 'em. I had 14 three putts!!!! My freakin' feet hurt when I stepped on a green. Landsharkin' the green. Maybe I will never do that again.

That is vintage. Almost sounds like State fans circa 2003.
