NO WONDER OLE MISS LOST

Nutt told his players to go for the ball and they got confused, or excited, either way wrong ball.

It's Monday...Why Not!!



Saw this video on the Barstool and couldn't resist. I know some folks from the Bluff, not these people obviously. Anyway, it was going good for about :30 seconds and then all hell broke loose...It was on. Everybody, well almost everybody, got in the action. I don't think the video would have been worth it had it not been the bravery of the trick working the camera. It was like she was ringside at Ali/Frazier.......Here is some of her commentary for you to salivate on: At the 1:08 mark, "A street riot...Everybody fighting" That is just good play-by-play work, I don't care what you say. And then at the at the 1:40 mark, "I am about to go...F this....this is ganster shit right here"......You just can't make this stuff up. That is just straight calling it like she sees it.... And you really can't argue with those dance moves at the 2:30 mark and the 2:54 mark.....That is club shit right there. And I can assure you the next time I am around and a fight breaks out, I am yelling, "You better beat that bitches ass". I don't care if it is dudes.

Rebel Recap

You just can't do much when you have six turnovers and your defense is on the field for 38+ minutes. It is pretty obvious the Rebel offense is on the operating table, the paddles are warmed up... Clear.. nothing... straight flatline....Just dead. I feel bad for the defense.. they are doing everything they can. They held Bama to field goals despite being put in some tough situations. Sure, the talented back Ingram from Bama had 170+ on the ground and a score, but hell he had 38 minutes to work with. Give Bama all the credit in the world. They are good across the board, offense, defense, etc. For the Rebels.....I hope they can generate some offense to try and get things going over the next 7 games. Still got a shot at having a respectable season if they can do so. If not, I don't know what the hell to expect. Not much else to say about it other than it was pretty much another moral victory to be able to hang around with the #3 team in the country. I am sure there are some thinking what if? What if they didn't turn the ball over so much..etc... Have fun dealing with that. Homecoming is next week against UAB. That should be interesting.

WORST LSU OFFENSE EVER...

Who's to blame








The answer


GAMEDAY SIGNS

I always enjoy watching college gameday to see what signs people come up with. Some are dirty like one today which read "Tim Tebow loves Coach Urban Meyer" (the first letters were in bold to highlight CUM) and some are just down right clever like the Patrick Peterson follow me windmill. I'm sure all of you State fans remember the 93 yard punt return by Chad Jones in the game this year, but what LSU fans talk more about is Patrick Peterson running 40 yards doing his arm in a windmill motion telling Jones to follow him. Someone made a cutout of Peterson today where the arm moved and had it on gameday.

Here is the video of the punt return so you can see it happen for real






Now here is the video of the cutout someone had on gameday. It's right above Herbie's left shoulder.



Now that just clever thinking by a Tiger fan. FYI Tebow has been medically cleared to play tonight.

What a Month!!


So I bought this calender at the first of the year because it was a Chuck Norris calender and it has some clever saying each month. You have all probably heard a million of the Chuck Norris jokes, but it really cracked me up that this month was singled out. Anyway, make the most of it.

Will he play???

MLB Playoffs start Today

I know I have been slacking on this and some of you could probably care less about baseball, but this is what those guys are playing for. I took 162 games to get here. 163 for one team, which was by far an instant classic. If you didn't see it, that is a shame. We would post a video of the highlights but there is this whole copyright issue. Anyway, out of the American League you got the Yankees taking on those pesky Twins and Boston trying to continue there dominance of the Angels in the postseason. Out of the National league, the Phillies are taking on the Rockies and The Dodgers have the task of dealing with the Cardinals. This is going to be good.

Here's hoping the Rebs don't get killed


So, there are several big games taking place this weekend across the nation, but more importantly the SEC. None bigger than the #1 Gators taking a trip to Red stick to take on the #4 Tigers. It will be epic for sure. Not gonna go into any detail about the upcoming game, that is Mac's department. However, another storyline is the #20 Rebs hosting the #3 Tide. Bama has pretty much had the Rebels number for eternity. The last time Ole Miss beat Bama was in 2003 and I really hope we can pull the upset...although I am not that confident. The Rebs have looked mediocre at best this season, so as the title says, here's hoping the Rebs don't get killed.

SEC Home Opener: #16/20 Ole Miss (3-1, 1-1) vs. #3/3 ALABAMA (5-0, 2-0)

NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

Rebs get past Perennial Cupcake Vandy


Well I didn't get to see all of the game due to a little thing called a job, but I guess I can be pleased with a victory and a 3-1 record at this point in the season. As much as the Rebel nation craves victory this is kinda new territory considering years past. Nonetheless, on the road in the SEC is never really as easy at it may seem on paper. Granted the Rebels controlled the clock and played inspired defense they still had there stumbles, like 3 pics. However, this was countered with 3 td passes by Jevan. I guess next week should be interesting with Bammer coming to town. Anyway, I don't have much else. Like I said, didn't get to see much of the game to form an opinion and I am way to hungover to try and get philosophical about this, so postgame notes.

LSU WINS DESPITE COACHES




I'm sure some of you thought I would come on here and say I was wrong last week when I called for the firing of Les Miles. Well, not so fast. If you watched the game yesterday you saw as well as I did that the LSU players won despite the coaching staff. LSU completely dominated the first half but only had 6 points because as soon as they got in the red zone, the coached completely shut down the playbook. I'm happy we won, but Miles still scares the shit out of me. On a side note, it's time to take the Ferrari out of the garage. Russell Shepard (pictured above) has been unstoppable when he comes in the game. Shepard has 17 carries for 106 yards and is averaging 6.2 yards per carry, and all of those yards come despite the defense knowing he is getting the ball when he comes in the game. Shepard has 0 yards for loss. I'll say that again, Shepard has 0 yards for loss. Shepard has yet to be on the field when he did not run the ball and has gotten positive yards every time. The defense is putting 8 men in the box and still can not stop him. Imagine if they let the 2008 #1 dual threat quarterback throw the ball once every now and then. I think Jefferson is an adequate quarterback and should continue to start, but it's blatantly obvious that Shepard it our best playmaker even as a true freshman. It's time to turn him loose Les.

Hello Weekend

Have a great weekend. Hope it's like this..

Careful at work...language

Time to show up

Sure the Rebels are playing Vandy and for the most part, Vandy is worse than Ole Miss, but as I have said before and will continue to say, Nothing that Ole Miss has done thus far has impressed me. It is time to put up or shut up. If they lose to Vandy; If they so much as have a close game at Vandy, then there is no telling how bad Bama is going to destroy them the following week in Oxford. Just facts people. The Rebs have been off for two weeks. That is more than enough time to get everyone who is ill better and work on that lack of offense. Mostly getting Dexter involved in the game a little sooner than midway through the 3rd quarter. It is time for Ja-von to be Jevan. Before we get to the info about the upcoming matchup I will leave you with this quote. It comes from a man who is now pretty much hated for his ability in calling games from the booth. All that aside, it doesn't diminish what he accomplished as a coach. I am talking about John Madden...

"Don't worry about the blind mule; Just load the wagon"

Something to think about for all you out there. Now a little series info:
