Sallee is stupid for writing this
The funny thing about Sallee is that he goes on Mississippi talk radio shows and talks good about MSU, writes articles like this one, and then will be on another MS sports radio show tomorrow stating that he didn't say MSU had no chance. He is like a two faced teenager that talks out of both sides of his mouth.
Its actually very surprising that a writer would go out on a limb like this. You rarely, if ever, see a writer state that a team has no chance due to it basically putting them at risk of being a laughing stock and losing credibillity. Especially when that team has an NFL caliber QB, lock down corners, and is undefeated. However slim, teams with good players at those positions always have a chance to win every game.
Furthermore, if you have watched MSU at all this year, you would know that while we do lead the nation in turnover margin, thats not really why we are winning. We are winning because we are better than the teams we are playing and we just so happen to get lots of turnovers. I for one, still have no idea how good we are, I just know we are better than the teams we have played. We are not getting lucky with turnovers, and any media person basing our success completely on turnovers is simply uninformed about our team. Stats support and illuminate conclusions, but don't create them.
For a writer to come out and say we have no chance it just stupid. The smart ones say that Bama will win by two touchdowns. That way they are mostly right no matter what happens. Especially when neither team has been really challenged this year, and don't say Troy challenged us. That was a complete sleep walk job.
