I don't want to hear "we finished better than expected." I don't want to hear "we go bowling every year." I don't want to hear "they have more talent than we do."

I for sure don't want anyone to blame thanksgiving. That's retarded - it had nothing to do with this. We've seen this level of effort out of this team several times this year.

These are facts:

- for at least half of our games this year, we have come out flat, low-energy, and poorly prepared.
- our defense continuously puts the team in huge holes early
- our offensive line is a shit show
- play calling is atrocious. Atrocious is actually too nice of a word. I remember a lot of Florida fans talking about how glad they were to see Mullen go, and I get it.
- we lack effort
- this is the poorest tacking team I can ever remember at Mississippi State
- we have a 160 lb midget as our feature running back. He gave all he had, so I don't blame him, but Mullen has to come up with something better

To wit:

- Late in the second quarter, Dak up the middle on 4th down (terrible play call, but I digress), and he clearly gets the first, but a terrible spot leaves him half a yard short. Why not call a time out and challenge the freaking spot?
- Knowing Ole Miss will bring heat, we do the same thing we did against Alabama and call pass plays that require time for routes to develop - and then we wonder why Dak gets sacked
- We know that a key to this game is containing Kelly's scrambling - so we promptly let him run all over us in the first quarter
- Third and sixteen? Let's play soft coverage, rush three, and give up a 20 yard pass play
- Had to settle for field goals twice on crucial drives because shitty play calling kept us from getting the ball in the endzone
- stupid penalties. Especially the false start on the OM four yard line
- in the 4th quarter we need quick scores, so let's keep running Holloway and running clock

I hope Dan is on his way to Maryland, and I hope he takes Diaz and Hevesy with him.
