Remember that year when we played Rufus Warren at LT and Bama sacked us 9 times? Then OM sacked us 6 more times in the Egg Bowl?

Well, Warren didn't play in the Egg Bowl. That being said, still can't say I agree with that RS for Rankin. Would have rather had him protecting Dak in 2015 (even if he was shaky early in the year) than have him next year if I had to choose.

That whole Egg Bowl was fubared. That was a pretty terrible fan experience. It just felt like MSU didn't care about the Egg Bowl from a football/AD standpoint. Now, I know that really wasn't the case- but it certainly felt that way. Just like really flat the whole day. I really hate that Dak went out that way- although let's be honest it's going to be vacated in a year or less.

The Egg Bowl this year made up for it somewhat- but I want to absolutely beat them down again this year in Starkville. I hope Nick replaces Chris Relf as Ole Miss's Daddy.

He could probably walk on to Ole Miss campus today and get 10 times more ***** then Patterson.

The problem is he wasn't that great to start off this past year. As hard as it is to believe, it looks like Rankin is a guy with incredible potential that was not even serviceable as a LT his first year out of JUCO, went from a serviceable to good LT in his second year out of JUCO, and is going to be an NFL draftee barring injury (or maybe him spending the year at Center).
