Well as most of the Rebel Nation would agree, that was about as dismal and uninspired effort on the gridiron as I have ever seen. Now there were flashes where the Rebs looked like they had a pulse but those were few and far between. Now obviously, the finger pointing begins. We were supposed to be 3-0 at this point in the season. Yeah, we sure were and not just 3-0, but 3-0 and winning big. Dominating on D, opening up the offense. Finding out about Masoli and giving him the snaps to get ready for the road ahead. Well, that shit didn't happen. The Rebs sit at 1-2 and are staring dead at what has all the makings of a very, very long season. At this point, the so-called gimme games don't exist. Every game on the schedule has the potential to be a loss. I was completely wrong about 8-4 this year and a bowl game. It hurts, believe you me, it hurts. I was excited about this season because I was anxious to see how we would play in year 1 post Dexter. Well, we got a whole bunch of holes on both sides of the ball. For starters, we have a young offensive line and to be honest it takes time for an O-line to gel and at this point in the season, there is no gel at all. It's hard to run the ball and throw it when opposing defensive lineman are all in the backfield. We have some inexperience on the defensive side of the ball and it seems we are out of position a good bit. In addition, we do not tackle well. You can't arm tackle in Pee Wee and you damn sure can't do it in the SEC. The good news is that all these are correctable and with experience and possibly lots of prayer they will get corrected. Keep in mind, this is supposed to be a rebuilding year and it is pretty obvious there is a whole bunch of bricks needed to get this (whatever) built. Even though I think the Rebs will have a tough time winning 3-4 more games, I will still support them and look forward to seeing this team improve as the season progresses. With that being said, Masoli has played well considering the circumstances. Sure he chunks some picks, but what QB in the world doesn't make bad decisions when they are running for there life right after they get the snap. As I said, it all starts up front, as it always does, and in order to get things going the rest of the way both the O-line and D-line have got to step it up a notch. The "Landsharks" are not swimming, they are not even in the water. I don't know where they are or what they are doing. Maybe they are at Sardis or The Library which is apparently where all the fans were this weekend. The stadium was pretty empty and this was before halftime. They said 50,000 were there but I think they were including concession stand workers, highway patrol, officials, ball boys, coaching staffs on both sides and Cobra security. Anyway, we know where we stand now and we can only go up from here. So we got some optimism there.
I know this has nothing to do with Ole Miss, but it makes a good point and it is relational to the woes of this football team......
Plus its pretty funny. A dirty bird can't fly with a broken wing = Ole Miss Football
