Update, Recap and the Truth
Well well now Rebs, I have never been so happy to be proved wrong. Thank you for that dose of beatdown you put on the Vols. And what else can you say about Dex. I mean, the guy obviously reads this thread and got pissed off and wanted to shut me up. I hope he can shut me and a few more opossing defenses up like he did last week. It is wishful thinking that he could duplicate that performance again and again, but it sure would be nice if he could. Anyway, Tigers coming to town, Crockett will be in attendance for support. Honestly, I just don't know how I feel about this one. I will stoked if we can win this one and I think we definately got stronger as a team during last weeks game, but you can throw all that out the window. Sure LSU had a close game last week but that doesn't mean a thing other than they are probably ticked at the performance and want to exact some pain on the Rebs, who coincidentally are coming off there most complete game of the season. It is a Catch 22 literally and figuratively speaking. If Dex is contained, its the Tigers. If not, then I see the Rebs pulling this one out. I hope that my post a few weeks ago will hold true and the Rebs can prove me wrong again. If you remember, I said, the rebs lose out. Here is to hoping ang wishing for a win, but nonetheless a thrilling game. Peace

Rebs/Vols Preview
Well the Rebs have a big game this weekend in O-town with the Vols. Historically, the Vols have the Rebs number and like I said earlier, I just don't see us pulling this one out. I hope like hell the Rebs can get a win and build some momentum going into the last two conference games and put themselves in position for a nice bowl game. I really do, but the Rebs have not been to impressive against conference foes when the competition is tough. Here is to hoping and wishing....and proving me wrong.

HOSED!
I'm not one to blame refs for a loss but this was ridiculous. LSU played their ass off and I'm not saying that things would have turned out different if some calls went their way, but it sure would have been nice to see them have a chance. First here is a picture of the corner being blocked on Julio Jones long touchdown.
Sure looks like a block in the back to me. And next here is the interception that was ruled incomplete by the replay official.

Not only does some chump in the cheap seats get a picture of it, but the second one is from one of CBS's cameras which the replay official had access to. I guess on the bright side, there are rumblings out of Ann Arbor that certain someone's want Rich Rod out so they can go after Miles. I see no reason for Miles not to go since LSU won't be in the middle of a National Championship run. If this happens it will make me happy.

And We're Back!!!.......
Well first off I would like to apologize for the absence from this post. Sorry to have let so many of you down over the past few weeks. Secondly, I would like to thank my neighbor for getting his computer fixed and getting the wireless network set back up. You see, I am running my Internet off his Internet. He knows about it so don't bother ratting me out. Anyway, what all have I missed? Not to damn much. In the past couple of weeks I have noticed that the sporting world is starting to get back to normal. I mean Ole Miss is awful, at best; and the Yankees are the Champs for the 27th time in franchise history. World's back to normal right? So, Ole Miss....friggin Ole Miss. As much as it pains me to say this, I hope that Rebel nation enjoys the last win of the season because there are no more to be had. Tennessee, LSU, and Bullpups. Not winning any of those...Sorry. Hate me if you want, but don't hate me when it happens because I am telling the truth.
I would like to say we might steal one against either Tennessee or State but I just don't think its happening. Especially not against the Bullies. They are playing with a purpose and there schedule could come down to an Egg Bowl victory puts them in a bowl games and keeps the Rebs at home. Well, if it does, game over Ole Miss. I really hope that doesn't happen but I am a realist not a dreamer and I am just calling it like I see it. Rebs lose out and go to the Library for shots.
So Halloween was fun this year, but I found that there was a real lacking in the slutty girl outfits. I mean, my outfit wasn't spectacular and I'm not a girl, but I didn't have all week, day or month to put it together. I work for a living. Just for the future, Halloween is the one day of the year that you(women) can get away with this and not be judged. Embrace that opportunity because the other 364 days of the year you are just a hootchie if you go around dressed like that.
Moving right along.....Older ladies....It may or may not be the best idea to rake the yard in sponge rollers and a bathrobe. I am not judging you, but I did almost have a wreck tying to make sure I was seeing what I thought I saw. Frightening is what that is. And damn lady, what was is with the scowl on your face. I swear that lady looked at me like she wanted to kill me. Maybe it was because I slowed down, rolled the window down and honked the horn. I don't know....maybe that was it. I just thought yard raking had its on dress code and that it wasn't open for whatever and the hell you want to put on.
Anyway, it feels great to be back here amongst you...spinning yarns... bitching about Ole Miss and what have you. I promise, there is more to come.
