, honestly i think ole miss is legit this yearPosted on 6/9/09 at 10:04 am to Brendoni
Thanks Brendoni, I knew I liked you. How have you been.
I think we have the best shot at winning it that we have had since Eli left. I think we should be competitive for at least the next 3 years. I just can't go back to losing all the time. Haha.
Also I know the guy Nutt is recruiting at center. He is playing at PRC this year because Nutt was trying to get him to walk on. He is hoping for an athletic scholarship in January and will transfer then. He is a good kid and a big boy.

This is a tough one for me...My heart says "Ross is the man and I agree with everything"...my head says that their "home games" are not gimmies...I'm saying 8-4 max
We might have to agree to disagree, but I see 8 wins easy on that schedule, and the remainder of their games are pretty much tossups.

Here's a decent article on Ole Miss and the rankings and expectations. Basically on whether or not they're overrated.

I've heard alot of talk around the SEC over the past week about Ole Miss and whether or not they will live up to expectations in 2009.
One of the main themes going around is that Houston Nutt isn't nearly as effective when his team has a target on his back. Another is that Georgia couldn't live up to the expectations in 2008 and that the Rebels will suffer a similar fate next season.
I'm going to take a stab at playing the Devil's Advocate here and debunking a few of these ideas.
First off, let me go ahead and acknowledge the similarities between 2009 Ole Miss and 2008 Georgia.
Both were riding the coattails of a strong finish to the previous season, perhaps accounting for their high ranking. Georgia slaughtered undefeated Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl, while Ole Miss dismantled Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl. Both had or have great quarterbacks entering the season who are proven leaders in the Southeastern Conference. Both have good defenses and good playmakers at the skill positions.
Now let's talk a little bit more about some of these points.

I think OM should be ranked in the Top Ten. Schedule is perfect for them. This is the year for OM. Nutt can't screw this up.

Georgia still finished with 10 wins, and many people were thinking they would fail in the preseason due to a variety of factors.

I see a major difference between "Top 5 Talent", which I do not believe they are anywhere near, and "Easiest Schedule in the SEC", which they clearly have.
Will Old Piss win 8 to 10 regular season games and by default end the season with a decent ranking? Sure! They have a cupcake schedule. Hard not to.
Are they currently more talented than over 110 D1 teams? Hell no.

The only thing I hear is that they fired their defensive coordinators, which isn't that big of a selling point for me.
We fired:
2 clowns with no legitimate coaching credentials to speak of
We hired:
A guy with 14 years of SEC DC experience.
A secondary coach who put more CB's into the NFL than anyone should ever do at South Carolina.
A DL coach with legitimate NFL experience.
If that's not a selling point for you, then no one can help you.
Speaking of selling points, I'm not convinced Auburn will ever be relevant again.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have yet to hear one legitimate reason why LSU should be any better this year than they were last year.

Ole Miss, on the other hand, probably deserves to be ranked somewhere around #10.
top 5 recruiting class added to already one of the most talented rosters in the SEC, entirely new coaching staff, another year of experience for either QB, returning 2 RBs for their senior season and you see no reason for this team to improve?.. ok

Good spent most of last week trying to catch work back up and adjust back to the real world. How do I go about finding out how much my little drunken phone call from ST Thomas is going to cost me?
Only time will tell if Ole Miss can live up to the hype, but the mentality of the fans are that we proved ourselves last year and are going to have to do it again because people still don't see us as legit. And you know that Nutt loves coming in as the underdog. Yes we are ranked but the majority of people are not going to take us serious.

dawgorama,
I wish our fans would use other tactics when discussing teams that beat us LAST year. He could have just said injuries on the OL really set UGA back, and that it is hard to foresee those types of injuries. So, UGA had a hard time living up to everone else's expectations.
Back on topic,
Again I would like to reiterate. This isn't the same defensive staff he had with him at TN.
Yes, they could be better or they could be worse. We'll have to see.

Well he should be blamed for their defense when it sucks, right? It's not like it's been stellar that entire time. I think he's a good DC, but maybe folks have figured him out a bit.
