It's the biggest one since 2014.
Hard to get my hopes up. I like that it's in Starkville. I wouldn't give us as much of chance if it were in Tuscaloosa.
I'd like to see Isaac Smith get to play, and I hope Bothwell's injury is minor. Going to need all the help we can get.

I just told you why
No, "tradition" isn't really a valid explaination .
Here we go ....
The Mississippi State cowbell tradition officially began as a good luck charm in the late 1930s and early 1940s. While the precise origin is slightly clouded in history, a dominant university legend explains how a farm animal became the ultimate symbol of Bulldog pride (MSU)
The Wandering Cow Legend
According to Mississippi State University lore, the tradition sparked during a home football game against their fierce in-state rival, Ole Miss.
The Good Luck Charm:
During the game, a Jersey cow wandered onto the playing field. Mississippi State went on to soundly defeat the Rebels that Saturday.From Cow to Bell: Attributing the victory to the displaced animal, superstitious students adopted the cow as a good luck charm. They initially brought an actual cow to subsequent games before realizing it wasn't practical as stadiums grew. They eventually substituted the animal by simply bringing its cowbell.
That's pretty cool, and now I know.

If Bama doesn’t beat us by double digits, I would be concerned. K1 and Fluff both got ankles rolled. Our OL is trash and the secondary will be giving up chunk plays all day long if Smith is ruled out Saturday.
K1 is an elite QB but he can’t block and play defense. Bama -5.5 is the lock of the year.

don’t know they both have fairly balanced offense. Miss st runs the football very well and outgains bama on the ground. I don’t think it hurts onr more than the other but bama relies on the pass helping clear running lanes and that may not be there if it’s heavy rain.
Yea but our big play advantage is our fast receivers being able to outrun DBs 1 on 1 and KT throws a perfect deep ball
Heavy rain will take that ability away

I dont think missouri is very good and they were up on state late. when were praising them for beating missouri then they wont beat bama

It sucks that this got stuck in the 11 slot, should be 6:30 prime time with the bells going at night

It will be either a:
45-28 or a 17-13 affair.

Not really a fan of this approach, but still not as bad as the Rams showing up in Australia like an hour before their game

Bama at State in a massive showdown
LOL... Bama will be losing by 10 in the 1Q and will be up by a FG by half. Everyone on the board will melt and Bama will end up winning by 3 TD's. The ropeadope BS will catch up with Bama at some point but State is not the team to do it.

It's a huge game for both teams and I only give Bama the edge for two reasons.
1. Alabama is used to big games and seems better adjusted under pressure.
2. The now characteristic, bone-headed coaching by Lebby in key moments could hurt State.
And for those who are going swoop in and defend Lebby, you can't defend his vapid stupidity at the end of the 2nd Quarter in the Missouri game. He cost the team 3 points! Against better competition, that 3 points could be the winning margin.

I'm not going to defend Lebby on his game management. It cost us three wins last year and very well could have cost us Mizzou this year.
Is there an online course in game management he could take. He wears a $100k watch on the sideline, does it not tell time?

It was definitely a costly mistake, but I don’t think you put 100% of the blame on Lebby there. KT has know better than to take a coverage sack there. Take your shot to endzone or throw it away. Lebby put the ball in his playmakers hands and he didn’t make the play. He’s young and that’s ok.

Doesn't mean that he knows how to use it.

State hasn't beaten bama since 2007.
They are definitely due.

Is it too early to congratulate Bama on their undefeated season?

And they got "Croomed" in that game.
