Notes from section J

[ababyatemydingo]

1. Our game plan was awful. That's on the coaches.
2. #5 doesn't need to see the field again.
3. redmond thinks bumping into someone is tackling. Piss poor all night
4. Bear played his heart out. He left nothing on the field
5. Time for new direction in leadership of our secondary. The excuses are over
6. Shump is going to be very good
7. They played us exactly like bama did the first half of that game. And we had no answer.
8. 6 plays - 28 rebel points. Inexcusable
9. The bourbon was flowing freely
10. Clausell had a bad game
11. The egress out of the west side stands is a cluster 17 and obviously designed by the guy that picks up the ole miss kicking tee after kickoffs
12. This feeling is terrible standing among these drunk idiots telling me to go 17 myself. As we walk out of the stadium. I and my wife and daughter will remember it. And my wife is a reb.

That is all.

Good stuff.

 

[RocketDawg]

Our #5 or theirs? What'd he do (or is that Engram?). I know it's RK on defense for the Bears.

Fred Brown

 

[jasong413]

Also was in section j. Lots of 17 off and go 17 yourselves as me and my fiancé left. To top it off some a hole grabbed her and yelled as we left. If I never go back to oxford it'll be too soon.

They are such angry fans. Even if they win they are just so angry it seems. I can't understand why they consider themselves so classy and "loving".

Number 12 is EXACTLY why I didn't go. Had three tickets given to me for myself, wife and daughter. Gave them away because I knew this is what would come.

 

[madisonmd]

Had been a long time since we last went to EB and I now remember why having been there yesterday.

 

[Seinfeld]

I could add another dozen, but it really comes down to 1, 3, and 8. Horrendous gameplan, poor tackling, and we gave up way too many big plays due primarily to #3.

I'm disappointed about a lot of things, but nothing tops the coaching in my opinion. One of those games that was bad enough for the coaches to be forfeigting paychecks

 

[ronpolk]

Redmond cost us big time on that long TD run. The game plan was bad. I know you need to run the ball but 24 Prescott runs up the middle for 2 yards each was not working. Meanwhile, our passing game looked good all night. And I know some of this was set up by running.

 

[Seinfeld]

And the most frustrating thing about all the Prescott runs wasn't as much the quantity as it was the really poor timing of them on multiple occasions. He had been averaging 2 yds/carry all night, yet we thought it'd be a good idea to run QB draws on 3rd and longs. Then I just about blew a gasket when we came back after a timeout to run our 4th and 4 play, and all we could come up with was yet another QB draw. Horrible

 

[HunterDawg]

It is easy to blame it on playcalling, but those were the same plays we used to beat teams like LSU, Auburn and A&M. They were brilliant when we ran them then.

We just ran into a defense that is pretty good against the run and stayed with what brung us. Most coaches do that. They seldom abandon what has worked for them all year. Yes, tight end between the hashes should have been open, but that is not our offense.

 

[Shamoan]

yes, but against the likes of lsu, auburn, and aTm, they worked pretty much on command. we ran dak up the middle for the 14th straight time and scratched our heads as to how he didnt get it while ignoring the fact that the prior 13 dak up the middles did not work either. round peg meet square hole. really poor playcalling.

 

[GetReal.sixpack]

First thing that was said to me when I got to the stadium with my 3 yr old came from a State fan. He said Hotty Toddy Sucky my Cocky. State fans are the effing worst when it comes to class. I've never been so disgusted. I'd rather hear f you then to be told to suck a cock. #failstate

 

[thatsbaseball]

Alabama showed Freeze how to beat us and he was smart enough to copy them

[ababyatemydingo]

another thing that looked stupid as hell all season long was our DB's doing the Manut Bol finger shake everytime a receiver would just drop a ball or a QB made a bad pass. Like they just made an all-world play in the secondary. If you make a hell of a play on a ball and break up a pass, yeah, ok, let them know about it. But damn, to do it on every incomplete pass, whether they had anything to do with it or not, is dumb as hell and shows the mentality of them.

 

[ArcherSPS]

Get real! That's more classy than this:
The Sound, the Fury The racist outburst on Nov. 30 by former Mississippi state senator Brad Lott would have sent shock waves regardless of where it had occurred or who had screamed the words. That the tirade came from a prominent Mississippian during an Ole Miss football game at the Oxford campus made the incident all the more disturbing.

With 45 seconds left in Mississippi State's 17-0 win over Mississippi, Lott, 33, who served in the legislature from 1992 until last January, descended from the stands to a fence 20 yards from the field.

For nearly a minute he screamed furiously at State noseguard Eric Dotson, cursing him and threatening to "get" him. He repeatedly called Dotson "******."

Lott's racist rage was apparently ignited by a 1994 NCAA investigation during which Dotson, a recruit from Pascagoula High, said that Lott, a zealous Ole Miss booster, had given him free meals and car rides. The allegations are one reason that Mississippi is in the midst of a four-year probation and lost 24 scholarships in '95 and '96.
In the face of public outcry, Lott last Saturday resigned his seat on the board of the Jackson County Port Authority.

For its part, Ole Miss has formally disassociated itself from Lott. "We won't accept money from him, we won't communicate with him," says Mississippi athletic director Pete Boone. "It's frustrating because we've come so far, and then an isolated incident makes people recall the racism in our history."

Even now, Ole Miss has a reputation for hostility toward blacks. "I'd never been called the n word until we played there," says Dotson. "At the [Nov. 30] game I saw a woman in the stands making ape gestures and pig noises at the black players."

The Confederate flag is still waved by many fans at Mississippi games, and the school mascot is a goateed white man called Colonel Rebel. "Only a child could do what Lott did, so I don't take him seriously," says Dotson. "And I feel sorry for some of the people at Ole Miss because there are good people there. But in 1992 I came to a game there when I was thinking about signing with Mississippi. An Ole Miss player fumbled and somebody in the stands shouted, 'Get that ****** out of the game.' I knew I could never go to that school.

Mutombo did the finger wag. Bol was known for his swimming prowess.

players aren't the only ones that do that. I see it all the time.

 

[memphisdawg2]

sorry to hear that Jasong. Last time I went to an Egg Bowl there was 1994. Swore I would never go again. If that ******* who accosted your fiance had done that to my wife, he'd be headed to an oral surgeon as I would have knocked his teeth out.

 

[kired]

I always tell people who are frustrated with Mullen's playcalling that he's setting them up for something else. I think we all can agree the "something else" was there for the taking a few times, and Dak either never saw the open WR or we didn't give him enough time in the pocket. We should have hung 30 on them and more than 500 yards if we'd have just made the plays that were there to be made.

I don't think Mullen ever expected we'd need to score 5 TDs to beat UM. To sum up the game - we missed some plays on offense that we normally make, and the defense completely let us down Saturday night.
