Ole Miss

[JefMaj]

Did anybody think they were the real deal? How about Snead? Was it because they beat Florida last year? Not impressed. I think I hear the sound of air escaping from a balloon.

 

[BGIF]

They should be real. Snead's a decent QB, RBs, WR, and OLs. Oher is obviously missing this year. We can only dream of a DLine like theirs.

They have had any competition until tonight. Memphis and S.E. Louisiana aren't a challenge. Memphis lost to Middle Tennessee and S.E. LA, a mediocre Div II team has two wins over Div II Texas A&M COMMERCE, and a Div III team, Union KY.

 

[phork]

I like Snead as a QB, but they played a horrible game tonight. Even when Spurrier was trying to hand it back to them at the end..

all i know is that mighty sec has had some pretty boring games. except for the uga arkansas game.

That UGA-Arkansas game put Ryan Mallett's hype through the freaking roof.

 

[jason_h537]

Ole Miss is a good team but very overratted. They built their hype after the Florida game. They are a top 20 team but certianly not top 5.

What is going to annoy me is that most writers will think this is another example of how great the SEC is as opposed to them overrating Ole Miss. Now South Carolina will be the trendy pick

You could see that coming. Play someone will ya before important games. I said same thing about Fla, this bull$#@& start of schedule is going to hurt them in the next 3 games and Tenn almost-------. The SEC is going too far with this out of conf schedule and its going to hurt them in long run. I think Fla has a tough game against Kentucky and could loose this weekend.

OVERRATED!!!

Who?

frauds

 

[mick2]

mallett did look pretty good, they have bama this week could be a tough game for bama

 

[donjuan]

Snead looked awful IMO. His accuracy is suspect to say the least. ESPN tried to put lipstick on that pig of a performance but it was made obvious to all; Snead and Ole Miss are way overrated. 7-21 with 107 yards and one TD can't even begin to explain how turrible his performance was. Those numbers are misleading. He wasn't that good. He missed on up & outs all day usually throwing them inside and into the dirt. And South Carolina did allow him to make some throws, it's not like he was eating grass all night--he had time to throw. He just isn't what people would want you to believe--not yet. He has potential but his accuracy will have to be worked on. You can chalk it up to one bad game or you can look at his tape and see the "competition" he's put up the numbers against. I'm not buying the hype...

We Irish fans are not used to watching real football where defense rules as it does in the SEC. Calling any team down there a fraud is a joke, especially through the lens we utilize. While we play the likes of Navy and UConn, they play a rock 'em sock 'em schedule that make our pretensions to belong on the national rankings the true fraud.

i dunno are the defenses that good or the offenses just bad?

 

[NDinMemphis]

Memphis actually played Ole Miss alot closer than the final score indicated. About 1/3 of the way into the 4th quarter the Memphis defense gave up since the offense couldn't get crap started all day. I'm not saying Memphis is better than Ole Miss, b/c they most certainly are not. MTSU beat Maryland after they beat Memphis, so they are not a bad team either. I agree that Ole Miss' #5 ranking was the product of hype from last season's win over Florida and bowl win over Texas Tech. They are a good team, but expectations were way too high for those guys especially since they lost 2 1st round picks to the NFL (Oher and Jerry).

Trolling, trolling, trolling.

What's this your 4th post lauding the SEC schedules while ridiculing ND's?

I've called you out on two of them previously, providing facts while all you provide is specious smears like fraud and "fluffy". You don't respond you just continue your hit and run smears.

I'm still waiting for some substance from you. It would be a first.

Lets see MISS opened with Memphis and followed with Southeastern Louisiana. Remind me winesome, which BCS Conference is Memphis in?

I'm not familar with Southeastern Louisiana. I know the regular Div 1 bottom feeder directional schools like Louisiana Lafayette and Louisiana Monroe. Say does Alabama still schedule Louisiana Monroe after the whoopin' the Warhawks laid on Saban in Tuscaloosa? LA MO was Sun Belt Conference Co-Champions in 2005 with a 5-6 record.

But I digress. I had to google Southeastern Louisiana to find them. Talk about rock 'em sock 'em, SELA is in the Southland Conference.They're in Div 1-AA. You know winesome, ND hasn't played a team of that caliber since back in the 1930's more than 7 decades ago. Mississippi played them last week.

I don't know how Ole Miss can handle those bottom feeding 1-AA teams but come Nov 7 they better be Northern Arizona is on the schedule. Woe! No. Arizona Lumberjacks were Big Sky Co-Champions in 2003. Hope Ole Miss can handle the pressure. rock 'em, sock 'em!


Do you think South Carolina might be heading into a trap game, winesome? After that big win over a Top 10 team will Spurrier's Cocks have the staying power to go at with The Bulldogs on October 3r or will they go flat?

How 'bout them dawgs! Monsters of the MEAC! Can't get better rock 'em, sock 'em action than that, can you winesome? Damn those South Carolina Bulldogs were 10-3 and 2008 Mid Eastern Atlantic Conference Champions.

Yeah why should Spurrier schedule somebody like Navy. OSU rolled over them, right winesome. No schedule fraud in Columbia, they pick they're Division 1-AA opponents tough!

Windsome has to justify the SEC scheduling - how else does Tebow get a nod after throwing 3 Ints and a couple of fumbles (to date) having played 0-3 Charleston Southern, and Troy . OOooohhhhhh - - he's got that tough Forida Int. game coming up!!!

With 1/4 of the next 4 years first and second rounders - Florida couldn't help but look good against Charleston Southern - would have even looked better - - - had they covered the spread!

Let's see SEC has scheduled: Citedal, East Kentucky, Ohio, Rice, Tenn Tech., Missouri State, Lou Tech (twice), Jacksonville State, Western Kentucky, Western Carolina, Troy (twice), Florida Int (three times), North Texas, Northern Ariz., U. Lou. Lafayette, U. Tenn. Chattanoooooooga, FURMAN..... 24 guaranteed winds - Windsome - gotta pack that SEC winning percentage and qualify those schools for bowl games... Case in point: Ole Miss was 8-4 last year with wins over Samford, Memphis & Ul Lou-Monroe....

Guys, this is the SEC troll that if it were up to me would be banned. He uses 'we' to fool you, and it works at first. BGIF called him out last week.

Windsome, you already got hammered on the other thread (in which you wisely disappeared from). Get a life, and stop uysing 'we' as if you're a ND fan. If you want to talk SEC football, be a man and admit what you are. If not, just go away. you looked stupid on the other thread; you'll look stupid again on this one if you talk about your horrible schedule...

 

[JefMaj]

Here's a good one for you windsome - ND may have gone since '88 without a National Championship - does that make them sort of irrelevant with their all FBS schedule? How many years (gaps) did Alabama, LSU, Georgia, & Tennessee go without or between??????? - Florida (until new found success) went over a century!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hint: try numbers like 30, 45, 29, & 31.

Michigan 49, Nebraska, 23, USC 31, Ohio St. 32, Penn. St., 23.....

Last 2 times ND made the BCS how many other schools had worse records and were in BCS games - correct me if I'm wrong (going from memory) I think there were about 5. A non-BCS school is in BCS with a top 14 finish - ND is in with a top 8 finish.

I am just happy I don't carry season tickets to see the trash games some of those school's fans have to take a Saturday to see visit their home - Chaz. South., Troy, and Fla. Int - FURMAN.... that has to be an exciting drive to the tail gate.

Don't get me started........

i think they are pretty overrated. i go to the university of memphis and i was at the memphis-ole miss game. and it was a close game . alot closer than the score said. it was 17-7 at half and thats bc arkelon hall threw a pick 6 directly into the hands of the defense. many people here blame him for point shaving and givin ole miss the game. he threw it away on third down 3 times. you cant throw it away on third down thats just dumb. u have a 6'8 wr in carlos singleton and a 5'9 corner... im takin my odds there and throwin it up. ole miss struggled with memphis and they are terrible on defense. i know it was first game and a rivalry but still. it was close till the 4th quarter when the wr stopped half way in the route and tripped up the corner then took it after re adjusting to the ball for a td. then then turnovers by memphis gave them the ball and they played well in the 4th. still they struggled with south carolina who is a B- team at best

ole miss is good, but not the number 4 team in the nation.

kentcuky has had like 4 winning seasons in the past 8 years.

vandy is terrible.

south carolina i dont think has won more than 7 games in 8 years.

arkansas shows up to play every now and then winning the games they have to to ruin the sec standings (lsu and ole miss)

mississippi state is terrible.

auburn was terrible last year and should improve this year.

tennessee is on the uprising when they get crompton outta there.

so yeah i can say they're some frauds in the sec.

just because florida, georgia, bama, and lsu repeat great seasons doesnt make the sec the best at everything.
