Why were Ole Miss fans so confident they'd beat LSU in Baton Rouge?

I know their offense and defense were very highly ranked but they had played a bunch of nobodies, even Wake Forest is basically a G5 team this year.

They lost to Kentucky at home and South Carolina is bipolar.

Yet, they seemed supremely confident in this team. They've been talking shite for weeks now, and it seems that many have somehow disappeared.

Conversely, I don't think LSU is some great team this year. They have plenty of flaws.

They still think they're going to the playoff:

Yeah, that’s the way these bitches are in MS. Most talk all kind of shite and don’t show up for the fight. Then when they get that arse whipped, they go into hiding till the bruises heal.

A weird talking point was also that their defense was elite or something.

They kept bringing up the fact that they'd only given up 7 PPG vs bad offenses.

honestly, LSU’s defense has only improved ever since some of our so-called STARZ went down and some of the younger newer guys have stepped up

Because they beat up on a bunch of nobodies at the beginning of the season and let those already inflated egos balloon out of control.

The only decent team they played beat them, AT THEIR HOUSE.

They do this EVERY SINGLE TIME and it always ends up the same way.

They beat you up and down the field and Kiff’s ego got in the way which gave you guys a shot.

I'm still bothered by the fact that 2 full defensive staffs have had no idea what to do with Harold Perkins.

Imagine Chavis not knowing what to do with Mathieu 13 years ago.

To be fair most national media predictions were for Ole Miss to win.

can’t tell whether there is a safety outside linebacker who knows it is a mystery. What is showing is Wit Weeks is a complete Baller and that players seem to be playing as a unit now.

We were confident because this LSU team isn’t that good, and talent wise this is among our best teams

That didn’t change. LSU wasn’t very good, and was statistically beaten by OM for the majority of the game. OM beat themselves flat out

I’m not going to complain about it, it is what it is and we are soft bitches who choke. But our pregame shite talking was founded on LSU not being that good, and nothing about that was proven wrong

You got stuffed inside the 5. We rammed it up your backside on the final 75 yard drive, converting two 4th downs. Ya got beat Webel.

He asked a question, I had the nerve to show up and answer it

I’m not starting threads about it. It is what it is, take it or leave it
