This was a rebuilding year for OM. Whether you want to believe it or not, it's the truth.

My guess is, you don't want to admit that your prized win was over a rebuilding rival.

I think it was a "rebuilding year" for Ole Miss. But Kiffin did a great job getting Evans through the portal and a stud Freshman in Judkins...both impacting the offense immediately.

Yes, the Egg Bowl win is the prized win of the year. What was Ole Miss' "prized win" of their season? The Kentucky win that you stated and we all know were lucky as hell to win?? 3-pt win vs A&M?

Kiffin and Ole Miss know if they want to take the next step, then they have to get some studs in the trenches. Ole Miss was pushed around against LSU, Arky, and State.


Kiffin should have thrown the ball more downfield over the top in the Egg Bowl. Why he didn't do that...I don't know. State's defense won them the game. Ole Miss' 3-FGs in the first-half may be a combination of good defense and questionable play-calling.

If you would have told me before the game that Will Rogers would have 3 turnovers in the Egg Bowl I would have said that Ole Miss wins by at least 20pts.

What is the "real" Ole Miss? The team that beats up GA Tech, Vandy, Auburn?
Or the team that gets physically dominated by Arky, LSU, and State?

State wins the Egg Bowl...it's our prized win of the season. We finished above in the SEC standings even having to play UGA while the Rebels played Vandy. And get to gloat for another 12months. Hopefully Ole Miss is out of their "rebuilding" mode next season.

Hail State.

Money wise is AM and Fisher outside of Jones firing Jimmy Johnson greatest screw up ever?

It's up there definitely.

I put the ESPN-NBA deal (9 years at $1.4B) where the NBA ratings have been complete garbage the past four seasons and the ESPN/Texas LHN contract (20 years $300M) ahead of the Fisher extension catastrophe in my opinion.

Full slate. Weird CBS didnt pick Bama-MSU but I will take it

Is there still a clause in the SEC/CBS TV contract that a team cannot be aired more than 5-games during the regular season on CBS?

I remember back in 2014 when State and Ole Miss had that "great" season that CBS had to choose the Egg Bowl matchup over the Iron Bowl because CBS had already aired Bama five times during the regular season and could not be televised six times due to a clause in the TV contract w/ the SEC.

State with one loss was #4 and Ole Miss was #18 with three losses and Bama was #1 with one loss and Auburn was #15 with three losses.

CBS chose LSU/Ole Miss this year in order to be able to choose the Iron Bowl at the end of the year. That's most likely their objective. They want Bama @ LSU or @ Ole Miss to be their 4th game.

BAMA on CBS this year:
1. Arkansas
2. A&M
3. Tennessee
4. *(either Ole Miss @ Oxford; or LSU in Baton Rouge)
5. *(most likely Iron Bowl)

The Saints are missing leadership early in the season.

Demario, Cameron, Ingram...someone needs to step up. Seems Demario was that man the past two seasons but something is lacking here.

The Saints are making mental and quite fixable mistakes. Cut out the dumb penalties (false-starts) and fumbles especially in the first half. They are lacking attention to detail.

Next two games are in the Superdome. Bring the juice.
Getting back to .500 is doable.

If Geno Smith and the Seahawks come in and get the Win this upcoming Sunday, then this team is done this season ha.

This is the first I’ve heard Miss St has a better defensive front than Arkansas.

Is that correct?

---

It's not bad...better than Arky? I don't know about that.

A&M does have playmakers and depth. Playing in Starkville will be an advantage for State.

In order for State to win conference games, they have to protect Rogers and win the Turnover battle. If they don't do that, they lose. It's that simple for Leach teams at State.

It's a 60min game. Let's go boys.
