Anyone feeling like Ole Miss is going to pull this off?

Hype? Alabama was 23 point favorites.

And you should be proud of that 15 point loss.

Unfortunately, in the record books, your record looks just like ours, 1-2, so no matter how much of a “moral victory” you won, you are no closer to 2-1 today than we are.

We looked like crap on offense and y’all looked the same on defense in all 3 games so far: crappy. But be of good cheer, you defense is only allowing 50 points per game. That will give you many opportunities to win at least 2 more, whereas, our offense is so bad we might sneak up on Vandy.

Yes, it was. Their offense is almost as good as Bama's. It's hard to stop Najee Harris though. He's an amazing back.

Kiffin really wanted that game.

What do you think I'm implying? The better team won by two possessions. It's obvious our team isnt good enough to beat Alabama right now. There was no 'hype.' I think you are confusing our teams here, remember after week one when the Air Raid was genius and Costello was legit? That was hype.

You guys hated your system coach so much for not utilizing the talent he had on campus that you fired him and went and hired the ultimate system coach. When are you going to start bitching about Leach being too stubborn to adjust his offense to the talent he has?

The 'hype' I'm referring too is the in-the-moment back slapping over how good Ole Miss looked while matching Alabama score-for-score for three quarters last night and not some mythical pre-game hype that you're spinning my comment into. There's a whole bunch of OMG LANE TRAIN going on because you beat the spread against Alabama and put up a bunch of points. It's at this point that I remind you that Ole Miss put up a bunch of points and yards against eventual national champion LSU last year and it didn't make a damn bit of difference. The more likely answer here is that Alabama was probably looking forward to Georgia and didn't really take this game seriously. I know all you guys are over on the spirit jerking each other off over your not-as-bad-as-expected result last night, and that's cute. I see you had to pivot to State and Leach, which had nothing to do with my post. I get it - we suck. We probably only have two more wins on our schedule: Vandy and Ole Miss.

i'm not shark lover but 17n saban with these excuses pisses me off.

It’s pathetic. He’s done it in the past and accused other teams, too. Yet he scoffed at the question and refused to acknowledge ESPN showing Tyler Siskey in his box looking at our sidelines with binoculars. He’s a great coach, but he’s also a *****. He doesn’t like Kiffin, and was butt hurt that LK got the best of him play-calling. Alabama just completely out-talented Ole Miss.

Not to mention, if he thinks their signs have been stolen in the past and he hasn’t changed them in 3+ years since Kiffin left, that’s his own problem.

Do you expect the sports world to just ignore an unranked team being tied with the #2 team in the country after 49 minutes? How late in the game does it need to be to declare an upset alert? Last two minutes? I matched your 'pivot to the rival to make me feel better' post after the game. Question: do you want to match this $50 I have on Ole Miss winning the Egg Bowl?

If, after our offense put up 48 on Bama and your offense put up zilch on Kentucky, you still think you will probably beat us, then perhaps I am buying into the hype and now is 'probably' a good time to take my money. Please advise.

Like I said, congratulations, I guess. You have a lot more reasons to be optimistic than we do right now.

I'm just trying to help you out. It's gonna be a long fall when you lose to LSU or Vandy and you're going to be wondering what the hell happened.

Where is the guy on this board who couldn't understand why some journalists thought Kiffen would have quicker success than Leach?

You taking the bet or not Drebin?

$50 on the Egg Bowl straight up.

Why would I take that bet? The subject is Ole Miss vs. Alabama. Not the egg bowl. We suck right now. Quit trying to change the subject.

Yep. Unless they're doing something illegal (like the phone interception or whatever it was with Auburn some years ago), it's up to Saban to make sure the other team doesn't know his signals.

You said MSU probably had two wins left on the schedule, Vandy and Ole Miss. I got $50 that says Ole Miss not probably but in fact does win the Egg Bowl. If you're confident you'll take it.

Yeah, I said that and it's probably right. But it would probably be stupid to bet on that right now. I mean, if Corral gets his neck broken at some point, or half the team contracts covid before that game, you'd probably regret making the bet.

Hit me up egg bowl week and we'll talk. In the meantime, let's stick to the subject.

Maybe I'm buying the 'hype' but you're probably wrong. Fair point about the uncertainty of the season, I'll revisit this thread in late November.
