When will State ever show up in a big game

[drt7891]

And play like we want to be there? We have watched ole miss pass us by in every way possible.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

When we will have a game plan that allows our players to play to their potential?

Did it 3 times in a row last year---LSU, A&M, and Auburn with ESPN GameDay in the Junction.

The problem is after those 3 tough ranked teams, we STILL HAD Bama and Ole Miss left to go. We aren't all as lucky as Ohio State and just play 1 ranked team a year.

TAMU, LSU, Auburn 2014

....

We've shown up in plenty of big games under Mullen... Ole miss is cleaning house in recruiting right now, and it shows. I have no idea if they are cheating or not, but they are loaded. Freeze is an awesome coach, but Bama has gifted this game to them. That said, ole miss STILL has to take it, and they are. Credit to them.

We have to stop this pity party. Do you have any idea how much spousal abuse is going to occur in the state of Alabama tonight?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

You miss the first half of last season?

 

[drt7891]

I had a gut feeling all summer we were going to have to endure them having a special season. I didn't have faith we'd beat LSU and this just sucks. It's a long season, but it's gonna be tough to be a State fan for a while.

 

[drt7891]

No but I sure as hell haven't forgotten the second half.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

You must have missed it because it would have easily answered what you were asking. Please continue with your ole miss has passed us pity party.

 

[tatedog]

I'll take most of the blame for this one. I chickened out on putting down a relatively obscene amount of money on Ole Miss +9 at the last minute and couldn't pull the trigger. That would've been the nail in their coffin.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Loser mentality.

 

[drt7891]

What makes you think they haven't? They beat us head to head last year (after failing to beat Bama AGAIN) because we didn't play like we gave a ****. They are much better defensively and I have no faith we can stop their offense. Hell, we have to beat auburn and TAMU at their place while they have their toughest games at home. I'm not trying to throw a pity party, but it sucks watching them play big in big games while we play scared.

 

[fishwater99]

Those wins didn't look as big when you see how the finished the season.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Never said they didn't. But I'm not going to go jump off a bridge about it either. It's fluid and the rivalry has its highs and lows with both schools. One is never going to be better than the other for a very long time.

So what are you going to do about it?

 

[seshomoru]

That's why I went back in time and celebrated less.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I laughed.

 

[Resolved]

17 Ole Miss. We have a season to play and I'm betting we meet them for the SECW Championship in Svegas. And we whip their ***.

 

[kired]

Wait till you see how bama finishes this season ...

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Well, in no TRUE big game

 

[MarkDallas]

Those wins didn't look as big when you see how the finished the season.

Ridiculous. The Auburn game was the definition of big game.

 

[seshomoru]

It was only a national network game and ended up with us ranked #1.

That's intramural stuff to a coach like Freezus.

 

[ronpolk]

Goofiest thing I've ever seen on here. I guess I'll never celebrate another win until the end of the season.

 

[fishwater99]

I agree. They are not the same as in the past few years.

 

[DocHolliday.sixpack]

What the 17 u tlkn bout Willis? Try last year. Been ahead in SEC west last 5 yrs

And play like we want to be there? We have watched ole miss pass us by in every way possible.

Try spending 5 weeks at #1 in the country last year. Do you think that happened by accident ? Good Lord some people. The Bears will **** the bed as usual. Even after the win against Bama tonight. Yes they looked good but take a breather man.

 

[drt7891]

Who is gonna beat them? LSU in Oxford? A&M in Oxford? Auburn? Us?

 

[tatedog]

Yeah it's pretty disconcerting to think that the only thing that stands between them and 12-0 is the coaching ability of Les Miles.

 

[Bulldogg31]

It's football. Anything can happen. They're a Chad Kelly ankle away from being middle of the pack. They beat Bama last year, then got smoked by Arky. It's a long season. Have a drink.

 

[DocHolliday.sixpack]

As a matter of fact , yes us at home.

Who is gonna beat them? LSU in Oxford? A&M in Oxford? Auburn? Us?

I fully expect to beat them at home this year. Bama turned the ball over 5 times and still could've won the game. Look, I hate Bucky and company as much a the next guy but we're not talking about an invincible team here. Pump the brakes.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

No grass to eat in Oxford---Les Mile's source of mystical power will be absent.

 

[tatedog]

If we beat them this year the name "Prescott" needs to be affixed to "Davis Wade" (and I don't mean on the end)

 

[drt7891]

We aren't beating Ole Miss this year. Our defense can't stop them and we don't have the horses Bama does on offense. We are also good for at least one or two special teams turnovers a game. It won't happen.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

And play like we want to be there? We have watched ole miss pass us by in every way possible.

You *****. Ole Miss hasn't passed us in ****. We can beat Alabama too this year and our season is far from over. Alabama gifted them that game with 5 turnovers. We would have beaten Alabama last year if that would have happened for us.

Talk to me after the egg bowl.

 

[BELdog]

I saw two beatable teams in Tuscaloosa tonight. Both of them tackle better than us, but I don't believe either of them is an unstoppable monster. Bama could have beat Ole Miss even after spotting them 17 points. Honestly, the only two teams I could see beating us in convincing fashion right now are A&M and Ole Miss and Ole Miss is playing us on Scott Field for Dak's last home game. I think we'll beat them.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

We aren't beating Ole Miss this year. Our defense can't stop them and we don't have the horses Bama does on offense. We are also good for at least one or two special teams turnovers a game. It won't happen.

Were we watching the same game? Alabama was terrible on offense.

 

[Bulldogg31]

We aren't beating Ole Miss this year. Our defense can't stop them and we don't have the horses Bama does on offense. We are also good for at least one or two special teams turnovers a game. It won't happen.

Well good, then. You just saved us all a bunch of time. Guess I'll put the cowbell away till next year. ***
