Thursday's and at Arkansas just because we are the better team and should win. Bama is still Bama for Mullen so I still expect a loss and Ole Miss is still an unknown to me. I have no idea on what to think for that game.

Considering all, against Arky, you just have to Show Up, and Want to Play.

That is my only concern playing them,... about like this weekend.

Oh I`m not that impressed but the thought of losing to them just flat makes me nervous especially with all that may be riding on that game.

It's Ole Miss to me. I think we are significantly better football teams than Arkansas and Mizzou and should win those games.
Alabama, I think we can beat them but it's maybe a coin flip. If we lose, that's disappointing but nothing new.
The stakes are a lot higher for Ole Miss. If they beat us to finish ahead of us in the standings, that would be soul crushing.

I'm hoping our curse of failing miserably against arkansas is broken. It feels like we have exercised some demons against them.

On OM, it's true, stakes are high for both. We stand to lose big or win big. We could inflict a lot of pain on them by stomping on their heads on the way to another big six bowl. Nothing is better than stomping a mud hole in them on the way to our goals. If we could handle Mizzou, arky, and somehow beat bama I would be worried about Om ruining it for us. We are usually well prepared for them at home, and the energy is so high for us at home. amplify that with Dak's last game. The players feed off it, and seem to refuse to lose to them at home like they do us in Oxford.

Plenty to be concerned with them.

When they show up, ready to play they will be a handful.

Some of them will need to check with their agents, on how things are going.
Overall, they seem to have some depth issues.

Against Bama, ha ha, how many times do get 5 turnovers, and two quick fluke scores off of those?

It should be a very tough game.

I hope we're not looking past Missouri this Thursday. We'll be playing in a place we've never played before, so that will be an issue, and it's a game we're expected to win easily. For that reason, I hope that Dan has the team mentally prepared for the game.

We beat Arkansas easily last year, so they have somewhat of a bone to pick with us because of that. Alabama is beatable, but if we come out all nervous and deer-in-the-headlights (players AND coaches) like we did last year, then we're doomed. We should have a better chance this year than in the past few though.

Ole Miss continues to have what the announcers like to say is one of the strongest defenses in the country, but their stats have been padded by their weak and early non-conference schedule. Against good teams, they've only been average. They seem to stop the run pretty well, but that's not a huge issue for us since it's our weakness anyway, except for Dak, and their pass defense doesn't look all that good at all, and passing is our strong suit this year. We can't pass on every play, but we should rack up lots of yards and points against them. Kelley is a good passer and should do well against us too ... unless he has one of his bad nights. I'm not nervous about that game, just anticipatory.

I'm most looking forward to Bama. Think we'll have something for them this year, and Mullen's ready to get that monkey off his back.

We played @Missouri about a hundred years ago when Bellard was coaching. They played us in Jackson within a year or two of that. We lost both games

Final was 17-10. I didn't remember it being that close. Regardless, I don't think we had too much trouble with them last year, or maybe I should say, I wasn't surprised that we won. We've been behind several times this year at the beginning but won all of them but one.

Ole Miss. They could be playing for the west and we could be playing spoiler, looking for our 9th win and equal last years record with a bowl win. If we beat them they will still get to hang a co-champ banner I'm sure. The egg bowl will have bigger implications than last year. As big as it was, our loss likely didn't affect our bowl positioning, but it did affect theirs.

They might've been better off losing to us last year. Then they wouldn't have been humiliated by a TCU team that was pissed about being left out of the playoffs.

No one game. We have been in this spot before and bottomed out completely. Shoulda put a little more effort into ls-who and the atm game plan.

You got the wrong game fella! They caught every break imaginable and we were not excited to be playing, and they almost beat us!

I definitely would not look past arkansas or take them for granted. We hardly ever play them good in the state of arkansas let alone beat them there. Plus this game is in fayetteville which I dont think we've ever won at. I hope we can finally break that jinx. We should never take any team for granted because no matter how much better we may be, if we dont play at our potential and the other team is up for it then a loss for us could still be in the picture.

The only correct answer is, they all make me nervous. After every win, I am more nervous for the next game. It progressively builds throughout the year. If we win out and OM and Alabama win out except for losing to us, we win the west. Let that sink in a moment. So every SEC game matters. Time to do everything we can to be in a position to win the West. Tie breaker win, but still a championship.

Not necessarily true. If we win out and both UM and Bama only lose to us, there would be a 4-way tie between MSU, UM, LSU & Bama. We would win that tiebreaker because both MSU and UM would be 2-1 against the other 3, while Bama and LSU would both be 1-2, and we would beat UM head to head.

We needed a goal line stand an INT in the end zone to squeak that one out

Hunter Henry looked like Kellen Winslow in that game, catching everything that came close to him. We had a goal line stand in the fourth quarter and then Will Redmond got a pick in the end zone with 15 seconds left to save our asses. So yeah, the game was that close.
