Sorry Gumps, no flame here. This is just a plain Jane statement of facts sprinkled in with conjecture on my part.

1)You had to take a mediocre LSU to overtime in order to win. We emptied that stadium out we had whooped them so badly. This shows we're not afraid to go into hostile territory to issue that good ol' "Country boy arse whippin".

2)Vegas has us as a 6 point dog even though yall have a loss to feisty OM team and we've been NUMBER ONE in the country 5 weeks running.

3)Vegas must value you're homefield advantage, it's too bad the Bulldogs don't..

4)You barely beat Arkansas, we beat them by more than you did although we did have a similar struggle. Yet, somehow no one holds that against y'all as much as they do us.

5)So we have a one loss Bama team, projected by Vegas and most experts to beat us handeddly, with homefield advantage, who struggled more to beat Arkansas and LSU.

6)Mississippi State, on the other hand, has 9 wins and a heisman candidate, we emptied Death Valley, served up country boy arse whippings to A&M and Auburn as well, has been NUMBER ONE in the country for 5 weeks straight, and the only team in the country to ever be placed NUMBER ONE by the playoff committee.

So there's only one question that comes to my mind after thinking through all of this..

7)Why do you think you have a shot?

Btw: Vegas hates us because we've won when we're not supposed to and we don't cover against lesser teams. Therefore their analysis is nullified by way of butthurt.

If you lose, I'll go through this point by point as to how flimsy all of this really is/was.

1. Actually LSU has been built to give us head aches and will probably always be a tough game no matter what the Tigers' record is when we face them as long as Les Miles is there.

2. Alabama has been #1 in the country for more weeks in these last few years than Mississippi State has ever been in the history of ever.... so bitch please.

3. Bama's home field advantage isn't giving the defense fits (though 100,000 hardly makes for a quiet game)... it's more about pushing our offense. Blake Sims and Co. feed off the crowd and play above and beyond their road selves, so no, you're not (and weren't) ready for Bryant Denny.

4. Arkansas D has kept them in many a game to the point that the laws of probability dictate they'd take someone down eventually (sorry LSU)

5. Summary of flimsy facts.

6 Finally a valid point mixed with your garbage; Heisman candidate Prescott. Saban led Alabama has a history of being burned by Heisman hopefuls. To everything else I say........ "but you're Mississippi State."

7.We have a shot.... because you're Mississippi freaking State.
