I don’t blame the players for being poorly coached.

Me neither, I just hope they play hard every play and stay healthy. If guys don't play hard and IF they hope we lose what does that say regardless who their Coach may be?

This analogy makes the point I'm trying to make, but state football is no where near as serious as life/death so don't think I'm saying it is

Football is a game and a sport, your health is way more important, comparing Joe to "cancer" is pretty sick imo.

I don't take football nearly as serious as many.

People actually say "a cancer in the locker room" so maybe don't take it so seriously. It is similar to Oakland getting rid of AB. He might be a great WR but he was damaging that locker room. Joe seems to be tearing down our foundation of hard work and relentless effort so he is "a cancer" to our program.

And with the (close games) talk ..
Halftime scores were as followed
31-7 LSU
38-10 Bama
Yes they competed ( unlike we have ) in the second half and yes Plumlee is one helluva of an athlete..
It just strange tho if you talk to a few of the OM faithful and look at some of their message boards 3/4 of them want RR gone. And last year as Longo basically lead the league in offense they wanted him gone as well...

They may very beat our ass, hold us to less than 21 and put up 40 ..
But again this is a ****ing 4 win team that will be coming here in about a week.
Listening to some of our fans, OM is in the hunt for a playoff spot

One thing we do know next Thursday is the last game OM plays .. unless they can back door into a 5-7 bowl like Dan did.
Our guys should be a little extra motivated for that 6th win. But who knows... The head coach better be or it will be his last one here ..

i don't think it's so much a verdict on them as much as it is a verdict on us. how many games have we looked like a competent football team? especially on offense or defense for that matter. i don't think they are a playoff team. I honestly think had we played the same schedule as them we would also be a four win team. they would probably be a 5 win team had they played the same schedule as us. against common opponents they played much better. our defense does not match up well with their offense. Our offense only matches up well with teams like arkansas that don't have much of a defense period. They are playing pretty well against the run which is our strength. We don't pass very well either despite what people think with Tommy in the game. They are also the tougher team based on watching both teams play. they know what they want to do on offense while we don't. that doesn't bode well for you going in to a game. The one game we have won since mid september was against a team who had quit. It's not as much as a verdict on ole miss as it is on us as team and where we are.

speaking of Fitz last year. it is my humble opinion that if we ran the Relf offense with a blocking full-back, That with the A-train and Fitz running the ball and dinking and dumping we would have won 10-11 games. By keeping it simple and playing field position football our defense would have won us most games. why have 3 wideouts if they are all shitty? trade one in for a blocking fullback.

Here's the thing:

Would you rather have Plumlee or Shrader? Ole Miss is actually playing their best option at QB and we're not because Joe is playing favorites.

As it is- give me Shrader for the simple fact that he can throw and run. Speaking of balance. I think some people have forgotten a little bit about Shrader because he has been sitting because of his Tommy Stevens injury.

I don't care about balance. I care about offensive efficiency, and I care about scoring points. We suck at those last two.
