[quote]1998 Mississippi State 8-5 (6-2): they gave eventual NC Tennessee a good game, but their other losses were pretty ugly, including getting blown out by 5-6 Okie State[/quote] Their 1 point win over Arkansas is what gave them the nod.

[quote]Masks, if effective at all, only increase the duration of the outbreak.[/quote] Exactly...this is why the Spanish Flu only lasted 3 years. That Herd immunity kicked in and saved everyone (well, except for the 50 Million people who died from it)....

[quote]Tennessee 0-33 vs top 10 opponents since 2007[/quote] It does pale in comparison to Missouri's 1-15 record vs top 10 opponents since 2008. Granted, they do double that number of wins if you go back to 2007 where they beat Kansas and add another loss to finish up 2-16. So Missouri has p...

Higgins and Ross are a huge loss on the offense, but Amari Rogers will be a full year post ACL surgery and Frank Ladson started coming on as a Freshman last year. I think Clemson's passing game will be better than you are giving them credit. ...

I would like to see the Tennessee/UCLA series renewed. They didn't play any in the 2010's. Before that, they played at least twice every decade since the 1960s. ...

[quote]Instead of complaining about the flag, out of state people and local hicklibs will just start saying Mississippi is that backward-ass state that didn’t get rid of their no-no flag until 2020[/quote] Um...you think the flag is the reason people think Mississippi is a backward-ass state? ...
