    We are a definite underdog in the other 2
    Bro! How can you say your first sentence and then say your last. you cannot agree that we match up well with them and then say we are "definite underdogs". What we are definite about is that we match up well with them and recent history says we beat them, six picks last year and they only beat us by 22, we are much improved this year and getting better.

    ight!

    I can buy underdog AT Auburn. But, I cannot buy underdog to pissers at home in the Egg. After this weekend I might change, but, for now this is where I am.

    Doesnt matter if you buy it or not- if Coral is playing, Mississippi will be favored in our game. That makes us the underdog

    TSU 1
    Auburn loss.

    Fine we finish 7-5. and we get a bowl game.
    We match up well with UK and we are at home, but they are good. I think the game being a pickem is about right.

    We match up well with Arkansas and I think UK is better than them on a neutral field, but we play them in Arkansas.

    I don't see how we match up well with UM. A QB that can run is dangerous for us and even though their WRs aren't what they used to be, they are plenty capable of beating out safeties for big plays. On the flip side, while their defense is not good, it seems like it is more susceptible to the run and they should be able to drop 8 and feel confident that they will outscore us.

    7-5 seems very doable to me, but that requires that we either win two toss-ups, or win a toss up and get a win against a team that is better than us (Auburn) or a team that we match up pretty poorly with (UM). I think 5-7 is just as likely at 7-5.

    And I am still a Leach believer for the most part.

    It?s one thing to do express interest in the Miami, Florida or Penn State jobs, but I knew it was fully over with Mullen when he even considered Minnesota and Maryland. That showed me it wasn?t even about advancing his career but that he just wanted out of here

    Yeah. 17 him and UF. I never could stand any of them anyway, I hope Kirby stomps a mudhole in his ass Saturday.

    They'll score but it's more about how effective our Offense is than theirs.
    1) No/Limited turnovers for MSU
    2) Long drives finished with points
    3) Reduce/remove stupid penalties
    4) Stop UM's Offense 3-4 times

    We played Kentucky, Vandy, and Mizzou. The whole SEC played an SEC schedule. Mullen played Bama and National Champion Florida that year
