re: Got my TT tickets, where is everyone staying in Houston

You know "Hank", we are all resigned to the fact that nothing short of winning the NC will impress you.

But for the average fan that was embarrassed by Hugh Freeze's actions and the NCAA penalties it will take winning to bring them back.

Just as we don't get band wagon fans jumping on board when we are good, we always have a fall off when things go badly.

The offense is going to be "explosive", the defense will be "improved". Whether or not they are improved enough to win more than 7 games is left to be determined.

If the Rebels go down to Houston and dominate TT like they did OSU in the Sugar Bowl, then it will get people's attention.

TT doesn't return an experienced QB and they lost their best WR due to his arrest in the spring.

TT defense was no better than the Rebels last season, giving up almost 33 points a game.

The Rebels are 1.5 point underdog in Vegas. The over/under is 67 points. The 67 seems low for teams with a history of scoring a lot a points, with both giving up over 30 points a game.

TT's strength is slinging the ball. Ole Miss' secondary is experienced and can play in space. This isn't state or Fauburn's offense. I think Ole Miss should win big by running the ball down TT's throats and creating T/o's on defense.

If Ole Miss runs the ball for over 225 yards and controls the clock they should win big.

If they can't, the offensive line isn't that great and struggling to get to 6 wins will be a major accomplishment.

But no one knows much of anything for certain.
That's why they play the games.
