Ole Miss pounced on my Bulldogs like white on rice. They scored on offense and defense, and soon had a 28–3 lead. The rest of the game wasn’t important. MSU lost it early, and never had a chance. The Golden Egg will remain in Oxford for another year, […]
Those of us who derive a major part of our self-esteem through the vagaries of college football, are loath to admit just how much winning or losing effects our lives. We understand that it’s a sad commentary that a grown man or women doesn’t have enough innate sense […]
Mississippi State made its annual trip to the woodshed to receive a dose of reality and humility courtesy of The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Sabanator. The Bama game plan was simple, stop Dak and they certainly did that. When you can dominate the line of scrimmage you […]
The 10th week of the 2015 season started with my Mississippi State Bulldog’s 30-16 win over Mizzou. Mizzou has been having a horrible season but a win is a win. MSU was glad to get the win in a season where they were picked to finish last […]
On Friday night my friends Pat and Susan McNease drove from their farm in Virginia to go to the Auburn Ole Miss game. We did dinner at the Hunter’s Pub, a steak house literally in the middle of nowhere. (Click here to read my Feb 27, 2012 review). […]
Week 8 of the 2015 college football season has come and gone, and I have something to confess. After watching Auburn’s four-overtime loss to Arkansas and the start of the Alabama—Tennessee game, I snuck off to attend the Columbus Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. We had […]
The Ole Miss Rebels lost a close one on Saturday, but they were beaten by a pretty solid football team. The U of Memphis Tigers competed evenly with Ole Miss in the trenches, and matched up with them in the skill positions. The Blue Bengals had the two […]
I described this past week’s games as pretty much vanilla, and they were. That’s not to say there weren’t some surprises, but nothing that changes the general balance of power. I wasn’t all that shocked at Tennessee’s victory over Georgia, even though I picked the dogs. The […]
As a football prognosticator, I’d make a good doorstop. There isn’t much that I got right last week, so let’s start with my pick for the National Championship. Ole Miss will not win it. The Rebels dispatched that notion without debate in Gainesville’s swamp on Saturday evening. […]
I went to bed last Saturday night thinking that Mississippi State had defeated Auburn 17–9, only to awake on Sunday morning and discover that MSU didn’t win, but Auburn lost. The local newspaper covered every aspect of the Tiger’s ineptness on both sides of the ball, and made […]
