Honestly doesn't surprise me. Probably the fricking Aubie's idea.

My balls bounce off your sister's face the same wet or dry, so I'm gonna go with yes.

A sloppy game would favor Ole Miss.

Ole Miss should prefer a game with potential for crazy and whacky stuff to happen.

For obvious reasons.

When you're the better team you want less variance and sloppy weather adds variance for sure.

Typical Aggie fan ducking off Bama. Have you watched Bamas OL and run game this year.

Will Bama turn the ball over 5 times because of the rain? Will that be the excuse this time around? Will it be Bama beating Bama or the rain helped the cheating Bears outlast Bama?

Have you? Damien Harris averaged 15.3ypc to the tune of 138 yards in the opener. It's not the guaranteed 5 yards every run we're used to but the homerun threat is there. I'm confident we have a better rushing attack than Ole Miss

Rain + Freeze = ice for Ole Miss, which is slippery, so it favors Alabama. Simple math.

Bravo. Best post of the week.

Bama benifits. Rain takes the crowd and the forward pass out of the game, which are the two things Ole Miss has going for them.

I've heard Chad Kelly is slippery when wet.

Neither. Rain isn't as big of a factor in games as people think. Unless it's just a deluge, fields today are engineered to keep the playing surface in good shape and teams practice with wet footballs all the time.
