Rebels take Dogs out to the Woodshed!!!

The only time the Mississippi State Bulldogs were standing up on Friday was when they got off the bus. The Ole Miss Rebels ran through, over, around and any other way that they wanted too in front of a crowd of 55,000+ at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. On the opening drive the Rebels scored and would continue to do so in route to a 45-0 massacre. The Rebels offense was able to move the ball with ease against a defense that I felt was pretty aggressive. In addition, the Rebels defense was all over the Bulldog Offense, limiting them to just 37 total yards. While the Dogs were on the field they seemed lifeless, as if they forgot they were playing against there in-state rival for the coveted 'Golden Egg'. The Rebels, on the other hand, were obviously ready for this game and that can be directly attributed to the coaching staff. I am no expert by any sense of the imagination, but I feel this victory was an exclamation point for both sides. For the Rebels, a convincing victory over a rival in there final regular season game to ensure second place in the SEC West, should hopefully seal a trip to Dallas for a bowl. As for the Dogs, this loss could move Coach Croom from the fire to the frying pan, as far as coaches on the hot seat are concerned. The only way to sum up the Ole Miss victory over Mississippi State for Dog fans would be to say, " It was a slow and somber funeral, with the body still warm."

Gameday

Edit: State sucks. This is already ugly. Croom should be fired. At least this picture is funny. That is all.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Just in case anyone read this blog. I hope that you have a safe and festive Thanksgiving. Stay safe out there.

The Egg Bowl

Someone posed the question to me, " How bad do you think Ole Miss is going to beat State?" While I am pretty confident the Rebs will win, I just don't see it as a beat down. I could be wrong, but I am just not that confident about the Rebs tearing them a new one. This is the egg bowl. You gotta throw out the records. The Rebs are going to get the experience of postseason play, while the dogs are not. There is pride at stake here. I see the dogs playing there tails off and giving the rebs all they want and more. I do think the Rebs will win a close one, which should make for an exciting game. However, I did stumble across this video. These are getting a bit overplayed, but it is funny nonetheless. Surely State fans can find the humor in it.

Thanksgiving Etiquette??

Seeing as this is the week of giving Thanks, I felt it best to provide everyone with a list of some commonly overheard things around the table. Most of these just come out without any recourse.

"Whew, that's one terrific spread!"
"I'm in the mood for a little dark meat."
"Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist."
"Talk about a huge breast!"
"It's Cool Whip time!"
"If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst!"
"Are you ready for seconds yet?"
"Are you going to come again next time?"
"It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it?"
"Just wait your turn, you'll get some!"
"Don't play with your meat."
"Just spread the legs open & stuff it in."
"Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once?"
"I didn't expect everyone to come at once!"
"You still have a little bit on your chin."
"Use a nice smooth stroke when you whip it."
"How long will it take after you stick it in?"
"You'll know it's ready when it pops up."
"Wow, I didn't think I could handle all of that!"
"How many are coming?"
"That's the biggest one I've ever seen!"
"Just lay back & take it easy...I'll do the rest."
"How long do I beat it before it's ready?"

Last one I promise...

Give em Hell Boys!!!
