    That's a pretty good place to be.....for opposing teams.

    Does Liberty return a lot from last years team? If so, this clearly won?t be the matchup Ole Miss thought it would be when Liberty was scheduled. Would be crazy if Freeze pulls that off. I?m sure he and the team have that one circled

    The writer of that article pretty much dismissed defense and everything else but quarterbacks. QB is obviously important, but for actually winning games, you need about 40 other players playing well.

    If Horka had any balls and wanted to work on winning some fans back (and get some readers back as well) he should write a rebuttal on why Mississippi State was ranked so highly in the FPI (see above) and while Ole Miss was not (again, see above).

    If he was a good writer, he would have put something similar to what Marcello put out right after the FPIs release (correct me if he did) instead of waiting for the paper to bash us. (If he did then he certainly has no balls for not rebuttaling)

    I know Marcello use to cover us but it's funny how Marcello knows more about our current team then our beat writer for our State newspaper.

    You know it's bad when we're starting to come back around on Marcello. I think we've hated him for like 6-7 years now.

    That would require an actual positive article and no one for MSU was arrested in this instance.**

    No, it was a moronic analogy. In the 2020 election Lafayette went Trump and Oktibbeha went Biden. Which isn't a shocker, what with their good old southern ways and traditions. Maybe you'd feel more comfortable rooting for them?

    From the school perspective, I'd say the analogy is pretty close. You forget one thing on your data - the voting is from county residents not college students or culture of the school. That is why the voting went the way it did. I agree it seems odd but there are reasons for the vote the way it was/is in both counties.

    It's just like the article written before 2014 about Dak's "almost interceptions" and why we shouldn't believe the hype.

    While I don't think we have a top ten team this year, I can certainly see us winning 8 games.

    I guess I shouldn't be shocked. This is the same paper that hid UM's NCAA investigation for as long as they could.

    I wonder how many almost interceptions Corral had last year? Probably a lot.
