I watched every inning. I had a feeling (which has been wrong a million times before), that we were right on the cusp, but nothing was going our way. Seemed like every close State pitch was a ball, and every close Auburn pitch was a strike. Every close call at first was going against us. And...
You know what's a bad look, fighting when you're down by 32 points.
Regardless of who starts the fight, everyone nationally is going to assume the losing team instigated the fight.
100%. I often laugh at fans thinking they could call the plays, but it was that obvious the last two weeks. We could have easily beaten Florida and Kentucky had our play calling been at all responsive.
I get that Fitz isn't reading the defense AT ALL, but at the same time, Florida was able to sell out the blitz (3rd and Grantham) because we didn't call a short pass play all night. Do we not have a screen in the play book? Quick outs? WR screen? Quick slants?

I actually liked the bear. The story of Theodore Roosevelt and the "Teddy Bear" is a unique piece of Mississippi and American history that fit with the image of the school without being affiliated with the Civil War. Also, the marketability and appeal of a teddy bear to kids (the target...
I always thought there was an intentional double meaning there, too. Didn't the University use the tagline, "State of the Art," at one point? Another play on "state."
Mullen happened to take over during an era of college football that was absolutely unprecedented. Nationally, and especially in the SEC, there was a massive increase in brand exposure and money. A lot of Mullen's success happened as a result of that increase, though both he and the ADs should...
I'll be interested to see how they plan to Trademark a logo that may have never been officially used by the University. It's never been registered with the Trademark office as best as I can tell.
Certainly feels a lot like the UCLA team we played in 2013. The size and orientation of the park almost totally neuters power hitting teams. Though we got lucky today with the wind direction favoring our grand slam.
