On the bright side of the rest of the year.....

....there is no way we will cover a single game we have left on the schedule. Take a big hit in your retirement bucks last week? Make it up with MTSU, UK, Ark, Bama and UM. This is as much money in the bank as the second half of Jackie's swan song. Allow me to remind you of that season ending gold rush.

Remember what your old friend D@A told you two weeks ago. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(102, 0, 51);">THERE WILL BE NO MORE COVERS FOR THE DAWGS THIS YEAR.</span>

Since then:
MTSU we were laying 13, won by only 9.
Kentucky we were giving 1.5, and lost by 1.

You have three shots left.

We go to Bama in a no win situation. Either they are pissed off from losing to LSU or shooting for another win (and two years revenge) to hold on to the #1 ranking. We will be a 14 point dog and lose by at least three touchdowns.

Arkansas has covered four straight and is close to having won four straight. One point loss to UK and a two point loss to UM to go along with wins over Auburn and Tulsa. They are clearly getting better, and if you recall, THEY FREAKING OWN US. They will be a two point favorite and win by at least 10 in Starkville.

Ole Miss will be looking to improve their bowl position with a thumping of us. No home crowd to support us, no bowl chances to play for.....no chance. We will be a 4-6 point underdog and lose by 10 or more.

after Jackie announced his retirement. They $%!$%*+ quit. This team seems to have bought into what Croom is selling and will, <span style="font-style: italic;">for the most part</span>, play hard.

And what has playing hard gotten us? A close win over MTSU and a loss to UK. I am not saying we will get destroyed by 30+ like that team did, but we won't win again, and we won't cover again.

Third straight non-cover. Two more chances.
