Who too root for?

I’m torn, I am a fan of Sneed but all top 10 teams must loose.

Pardon my sloppy post. I need to read my typing before I hit the Post button.
I think this is an easy call

All undefeated teams need to lose.

Root for South Carolina

On the flip side . . .

. . . if you could guarantee that we’d go undefeated, I think I’d like to see Ole Miss emerge from the SEC more so than anyone else.

ESPNDallas.com

Just saw the ad for the launch of the ESPN Dallas-specific website.

When similar sites have been launched in other cities, the on-screen graphic has shown players from all the major sports (Boston’s had a Red Sox, a Bruin, a Patriot and a Celtic.)

For Dallas? Tony Romo, Jerry Jones, Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford.

Yep, us dumb Texans only like football.

Or..

to put it another way, we smart Texans like only football.

Wow. people still go to ESPN for sports?

I usually tune into their channel for the games and the final scores.

Jerry Jones?

why don’t they just put up Mark Cuban up there? I think it’s dumb to put an owner (no matter how famous) on the front sports page. Why not Tim Duncan, or even Dirk Nowitski?

While I do love the fact there is a game on Thursday night

This game is lacking entertainment. The most exciting play has been the punter from SC making a TD saving tackle.

This Garcia is a bad ass and they have an awesome run game right now
Interesting match up so far

I heart college football

I'm finding it tough to watch

I’m spoiled by our bad defenses

Can we make the next enemy of the nation Lou Holtz?

I nominate that jackass Notre Dome homer for sheer stupidity and the fact that even as a bubbling mouth breathing simpleton can he earn six figures and have people kiss his ass like he’s a lovable old man.

Dr. Lou indeed.

I agree...

I have to walk out of the room or mute the tv when the Dr Lou starts his rantings…and I attended the U of Arkansas when he was the Head Coach!

Ole Miss is the 4th best team in college football?

Do the pollsters even watch football?

Big score

Snead’s gotta get it going

If you listen carefully

You can actually hear Jevan’s stock falling

Jones

I’m already sick of Landry Jones and his stache.

I kinda like the Landry Jones hype

Let them beat up the Idaho States of the world and come in flying high, we’ll kick ’em in Dallas

They promote him like an all-world QB

When he’s only started against 3rd world teams.

him and Barkley will have to battle it out
Has the Aaron Corp train left the station yet?
It was a bus

Carroll threw him under it.

What happened to Mitch Mustain?

How bad must he be for Carroll not to have put him in against UW?

I think Jevan could have run that straight up the gut for 5

This team makes baby jesus sad

4-14 passing for Jevan

Yikes. Ole Miss just looks like a poorly coached team. Like Houston Nutt is coaching them or something.

Is Ole Miss playing in Wyoming?

Sneed is overthrowing alot.

that is one thing...

….that I recall about him during his stay here. I was upset during the K-state game, but figured it was b/c he didn’t have game reps, but there was no excuse last night

another undefeated bites the dust?

SEC is overrated this year even more so than previous.

Tech didn't want to be in the Cotton Bowl?

That’s absurd.

Saw this one coming...

…especially after Memphis gave them a game in the first half. That final score from that game is deceiving; they got it from turnovers in the fourth quarter.

should of been intercepted...

Looks like South Carolina has someone with Gideon hands also.

Ole Miss' o-line is getting eaten alive

do not want

not much exitement

I don’t think I have seen an exiting sec game yet. Volunteers vs gators was boring also. Eh, I do love watching football. Some thursdays and fridays. Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I’m still not satisfied

you still dont feel it

That exitement. At least they are still in it

Now we've got a game

I’m excited

Interested to see how Spurrier approaches this next drive.

Ole Miss looks like they may have found their offense. You don’t want to get too conservative.

Aggressive

It appears…

So if Miss pulls this out after an abysmal first three quarters...

What’s the over-under the ESPN will be on Jevans jock?

ditto

Being conservative usually makes it harder to win without that offensive spark

I disagree.

Throwing every play while you’re up 13 points in the fourth quarter is giving Ole Miss all the time to come back. They should have been running the ball more, at least take out 2-3 minutes per drive. Instead, they’re barely taking any time off the clock.

It's easy to second guess

Those plays were fairly short routes, that should have been completed.

Man there getting sloppy to much clock momentum has shifted
Stupid calls by Spurrier.

Throwing when they should be running.

You're not going to close out a team

while going 0 / 5 on your passes over your last 3 drives

Damn that kid flies
Yeah, he's looking good

It’s gotta be 10 yards / carry in the 4th for him

They threw five times and didn't get squat, no time off the clock.

They ran once and got 8 years. Spurrier is an idiot.

I can actually see Ole Miss winning this one
If their RB is getting 1st downs, lanes are going to open up for Snead

SC looks lost out there

Ole Miss should just continue to burn clock and make small plays. Im still rootin for SC though
If Spurrier is smart, he'll run all day here.

Throw only on third downs…

But he is the...

Ol’ Bawl Coach

He'll be the ol 'Tard Coach

if he keeps telling Garcia to throw here…

Spurrier needs to manage the clock from here on out and his team needs to start actually making some good plays
Missed the facemask there

That should have been 1st down

what happend to SC
they are deflated

It’s a very rare thing for me to root for Spurrier, but now that he’s coaching neither the Redskins nor the Gators, it’s a lot easier.

Go big, Ol’ Ball Coach. See if you can control things with Giles.

LOL. Even the announcers don't understand Spurrier's calls.
Ole Miss will probably win this...

…thanks to the Ball Coach lol.

NOW we got a game
BIG defensive play!
wow, 4th and looooong
Go Cacks

Nothin’ like watching Nutt get slapped in the face by a bunch of ’Cacks.

Bad bad bad penalty

Love that SEC lovefest. The ‘Cacks beat NC State in the ugliest game ever, lose to Georgia, and beat an overrated Ole Miss, and they’re a top-15 team? Pfft.

Hey, they’re so great, why even bother dropping Ole Miss? We could probably squeeze a few more SEC teams into the top ten.

That's 4 weeks of top 5 teams dropping.

OU, tOSU, USC, Ole Miss

Shows the pollsters don’t know jack about jack

sorry not tOSU, just Okie Lite
Sweet. I didn't even take the points on SC.

Doubled my money by taking straight up. Heh heh.

Nutt just got nutted on by a bunch of cacks
Erin Andrews is Hot But...

I’d kill myself if I had to listen to that voice for more than 3 hours a week.

She's fake and anorexic

I prefer Holly Rowe

Seriously?

I honestly don’t see it, man. Are you playing a joke on us all?

What was Snead's line for the night?

“PROBABLY THE #1 QB IN THE DRAFT” – what a joke

Do you disagree? Who would you say is a better pro QB prospect at this point?

Assuming he recovers fully from his injury, I think Bradford is a better prospect...nt
if Matthew Stafford can go #1..

…w/ pretty much the same play, I don’t doubt Snead could be the #1 QB to go.

actually

Stafford had prototype size and a cannon for an arm

Snead doesn’t have the arm, nor does he have anything close to the production Stafford had. While I do think Stafford’s development at Georgia left a lot to be desired, he was ten times the QB Snead ever thought about being.

Associative Property of Big 12

Okie St>Georgia>South Carolina>Mississippi

Associative Properties that make our conference look lame

Alabama>VA Tech>Nebraska
Miami>Florida State>BYU>OU

But I am very happy Ole Miss lost. I thought they stunk before this game. Then again, I thought SCAR stunk too. This was a battle of lame-o’s. Unfortunately this game is only going to go down in media circles as “the SEC just beating up on each other”

or great defensive battle...

freaking sec..

That’s the meme. When it’s a .500 school in the Big 12 or Pac 10 knocking off a top-five conference foe, the top-five team was overrated. When SC knocks off Ole Miss, or Ole Miss knocks off Florida, it’s just another example of SEC depth and beating up on each other.

So my friend.

has always thought that Snead should have won the starting position over colt..wonder if he’s feeling the same way now lol.

Ouch!!

I think I’ll keep my Ole Miss Alum hubby from reading this thread…lol

Hook ’Em Horns!
