At the end of the day, Ole Miss won the ball game. They did what they had to do. They made some big plays. This was their last hurrah and they made it count.
All of the breaks went against us. Five turnovers. Gruesome injuries. The injury to Daryl on the O-line was just as big as the one to Fitz. Despite all of that, we made the game very interesting at the end.
I can take some consolation in the fact that I don’t root for Ole Miss. Man, I know “class” is a word that was frowned upon in the early days of SPS, but you saw on full display which program has it and which program doesn’t throughout the game last night. My Father-In-Law, one of the biggest and most obnoxious Rebels I know, renounced his “fandom” last night. Said he could never pull for a team that played that way. But Wyatt had it right in the post game….it’s a culture thing. It always will be a culture thing with them.
The specific injury to Fitzgerald wasn’t intentional....I don’t believe the guy was trying to dislocate his ankle. But you don’t hit low and roll up on someone like that. The intent to knock him out of the game was there and that’s shameful. To see guys on their bench celebrating after it happened was a disgrace and that’s why Jeff Simmons was out on the field wanting to kick someone’s ***. The hit on Kylin Hill…..the kid turned and walked away until he saw Hill not getting up and then he turned back around and started dancing over him and celebrating. Lots of cheap shots tonight. The endzone celebration was embarrassing.
Officiating was terrible. I’m always one who is hesitant to blame anything on officials…that is what Ole Miss fans do. But they let a lot of stuff go that should have been flagged. The onside kick….my seats are right on the 45 and I don’t know what the ref was looking at. That’s the biggest call of the game because they scored on what turned out to be the difference in the game two plays later.
So I’m proud to be a Bulldog….and especially proud to be able to say that I don’t have to defend the Ole Miss program or anything they did on the field last night. For that matter, I’m proud to be able to say that I don’t have to defend anything they’ve done off the field over the last couple of years. I will leave that to Yancy, Neal, Chuck, Ben, and the like. That’s what they do best. They’re an embarrassment, their school is an embarrassment, and their program is an embarrassment. And since we didn’t finish the job last night, we will sit back and let the NCAA finish it. I hope they enjoy watching us on TV during bowl season.
