1. We're Gonna Beat the Hell Outta You. Unless you beat the hell outta us, and that ship has already sailed. If MSU has ever beaten three winning-record SEC team by 20 or more points -- two of them by thirty -- in a season, I will dance naked at the Rose Bowl.

2. One of these days, the teams we beat will not automatically be discounted by the nitwit media. I admit I had the kneejerk reaction that KY was awful after we smoked them last week. But they're not. LSU, KY, and A&M are all capable teams, but we crushed all of them. This year at least, it's about us being dominant, not other teams being down.

3. Those announcers were as bad as they get. Give us Beth Mowins, give us a random person from the phone book, just not those two ever again.

4. Remember when our running back crew was rated next to last in the SEC? Most of us knew that was dubious... in any case, the only reason we won't have two 1000 rushers is because Kylin Hill and Nick Gibson are too good not to take some carries from Aeris.

5. It's time to drop the defeatism regarding Nov 11. We just beat A&M far worse than they did, for starters. If the MSU BBall women can take down UCONN, our guys can beat the Tide. I wouldn't want our players thinking there's no chance, so I'm not going to think that way either. If this makes for more disappointment if we don't get it done, so be it.

6. There is a better chance of Ole Miss and Arkansas not having a football team by the time we play than of either of them beating us. They are dreadful. Mullen can name the score. Barring a planetary realignment, Bama is the only unknown from here on out.

It's a great time to be a Bulldog fan!
