Ole miss is not devoid of talent and they honestly deserve
A better fate than they got this year. Mullen will face a stiff challenge
And it will be interesting to see how we respond after this tough loss.
They are also coming off a tough loss so who knows.

one system is saying 'dawgs left it all on the field' and bears left it too but won thefeel-good category and that's worth 3 points right there.As like LSU trying to rest on their laurels and waiting for mississippi bears to fold-up early, didin't happen. Dawgs should come out very flat, may play catch-up entire game. Bowls and polls suk, only thing that matters is putting rival under. And the way their mule played there's another point for them, I'm worried, I'll have to look at the dees to get some points back...possibly.

is that this is the first time in a few years where there is more pressure on MSU than on OM, at least IMO.

All the recruits are watching, we're battling for a better bowl game, if we lose this the 7-2 record is gone, and the season will be nearly a wash. We are under much more pressure than they are.

Although the underdog records are the same (4 wins), we were up and coming while OM is in a downward spiral. You could definitely tell we were vastly improved over the previous year. We were playing more like a 6+ win team but had an awful schedule and still almost pulled off a few legitimate upsets (by that i mean almost flat out beating the other team, not getting lucky). OM has been shitting the bed all season... even with a cupcake schedule.

I don't know how the SEC bowl picture was shaking out last year, but I doubt OM felt as much pressure as we do to pick up this win to improve our bowl position.

Our fanbase was completely energized by the visible improvements transpiring on the field. OM's fanbase is demoralized.

And lastly, how can OM get up after such a tough loss in their "real rivalry" game.

All that said, i like our chances in this eggbowl. I think we are obviously the better team, but this is the eggbowl and it is in oxford so who the ++@@ know what will happen.
