Weekend recap... thus far

I reckon a win is a win...right? Sure would have loved a blowout, but oh well. No biggie. Jeff Scott had a big day and it was nice for him to be able to pad his season stats in one game. Gonna be a long season but the Rebs may shock some team. Who knows at this point. Not a whole lot of expectations for the season, unlike another Mississippi school that laid an egg on the Plains. Honestly was shocked at the game from the get-go. Different Auburn team that played against MSU this weekend then the one that almost got beat against Utah State. Seriously, one play here or there in both those games and Auburn is 0-2. As for the Bullpups it was obviously now in hindsight a bad call to run the ball. However, and this is just a guess, Mullen was probably thinking we've pretty much run the ball on them for the better part of the game...more specifically the last two drives in the final 7 or so minutes. What the heck, lets go for it all. Turns out it was the wrong decision. Give Auburn credit for the stand at the goalline.

It doesn't get any easier for both schools here in the home state.. Dogs vs Mac's Tigers in Starkville. I'm sure the place will be crazy but that won't matter. LSU is pretty damn good. That's right, I said it... they are good. To much speed and LSU wins a easy one 56-7. For the Rebs, a trip to Nashville to play Vandy. Kinda like to pencil this one in as a Win, but for some unexplainable reason Vandy always gives the Rebs everything and more. I still like the Rebs to win the game, but it'll be a classic crapfest and the score will probably be like 21-20 or something real close like that. And Vandy could win the game just as easy as the Rebs could.

On a sidenote, the fantasy football season is not off to a good start for ole Crockett. Pretty sure we are going to lose games in all three leagues. Been a pretty wild opening weekend. Falcons getting blown out!! Really?!! And the Steelers got spanked. If this keeps up, its gonna take a Saturday Night Miracle to make any noise on the Fantasy Football front this season. And yes, there is money involved on all three leagues. Gotta find this years Peyton Hillis. Anyhoo, Mac's team is dominating, so I am sure he is pleased about that.

The Final drive of MSU/Auburn...
