The only way we beat Ole Miss is if Kelly gets hurt, or if their win is vacated because of recruiting violations. I just don't see how we can hang with them otherwise. But we can still have a good year and win 7-8 games. We need to put more emphasis on coaching and execution on all areas of the defense.

Recruiting also needs to also pick up in a major way for DT and DE. We have had attrition here, but haven't recruited these positions like we should. We are too attractive of a program not to do better with some of these big fish. I mean, we knew we were going to lose 4 DL guys after last season, for a while.

With you Palos Verdes on recruiting

We do need more DT talent, right now on our "1B" defense we have Torrey Dale at DT, Dale is 6ft 6in. but is only 252 lbs. he gets crushed by blockers.

As soon as I feel I should give in and give credit to OM and say good things about them, I think about if what they'd say if we were in their position last night.

Collectively, their fan base goes out of their way to never truly give us any credit. Sure, your Bear coworker may give you a thinly veiled, sarcastic complement every now and again, but they rarely even do that.

Maybe it's because we have nicer, more rational, less self-absorbed fans. I don't know. I do know that they have a good squad, and they harvested all of Auburns luck it seems. Sometimes things just go your way. Even though I honestly feel they have a solid team, they'll find a way to "Ole miss" it up. Much in the way we seem to do when we have all the momentum.

Any of the above. LSU has a damn good team. A&M can throw it on anyone and has arguably the best dc in football. Auburn has talent coming out the butthole and can beat anyone if they put it together. Our game is in Starkville so it's a coin toss. I think out of those four that we have the worst chance to beat them though.

The Ole Miss folks I am in contact with haven't gone full retard yet, but then again they are probably just still hungover.

DRT - Come on man! Save the whining for after the season is over. No team is unbeatable - no team. We can win any game we play - any game. Our young and JUCO players looked great yesterday! They looked awesome! We've never been in a better position!

Try living through and pulling for a MSU team like some of ours of the 80's when there was absolutely no hope of winning and no hope of a better next year. We have never had it better bud!

P.S. Don't underestimate this team's and coaching staff's desire to beat N.Miss. No matter what happens with N.Miss between now and then, it is going to be an absolute slobber knocker in DWS the Saturday after Thanksgiving - and we will win! You just gotta believe! (And just shut your ears and bite your tongue until then!)
