There is a bit of truth to this, but there is no reason to write off a team merely because they are playing on the road. Everyone knows y'all are gonna bring it for the Egg Bowl, mayne; there is no reason to say it's because of home field advantage when y'all are a talented team who will be royally pissed off.

For the record, since the game was moved from Jackson in 1991, Ole Miss is 3-9 in Starkville and Mississippi State is 4-8 in Oxford.

Agreed.

If we start off 7-0, meaning we beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa, we can make a legitimate run for the SEC West, barring catastrophic injuries or some unforeseen circumstances.

The back half of our schedule is a gauntlet.

Oct. 17, at Memphis
Oct. 24, Texas A&M
Oct. 31, at Auburn
Nov. 7, Arkansas
Nov. 21, LSU
Nov. 28, at Mississippi State

Really, if that happened, it would take something on the order of scoring only 7 points in the biggest game of the year followed by having your best player going in for a go ahead touchdown in another game, but instead fumbling the game away on a season ending injury to derail that kind of momentum. Those kind of things are so rare, you guys will be good as gold.
