Nothing about it is manageable.
Honestly though- if we lose those 4 on the road at least most of our swing games are in Starkville. That's a good thing.

So I would have to say that Florida is our biggest game. Because Ole Miss can't be our biggest game without winning some of the others. If that makes sense.
Makes perfect sense.

Arkansas is so bad we beat them last year. They lost their star QB and we upgraded. I think we win that.

Win the OOC games (which we always should), beat FL and we are off to the races. With the portal many teams have a quick rebuild to mesh into a team in just a few weeks, not just us. Hail State with a 6-6 floor and 7-5 would be great!

Jefferson didn?t exactly play like a star last year though to be fair.
That game was so ugly anything has to be better this season lol

It's Florida because it's at home and Sun Belt Billy is about to get run off from there. He literally might get fired if he loses to us and Scott Stricklin probably does too

Would be glorious to see Stricklin fired. I mean that in the most Christian way possible.

For those thinking upset in the Egg Bowl- Vegas has Mississippi at -19 right now

Awesome. Lol
If you're a betting man jump all over that.

I would not bet the house on the -19 as a lot of things can happen between now and Black Friday.

If you think we have only a 1% chance to lose to either EKU or Toledo, then you haven't been watching MSU athletic teams, especially football, for very long. "Remember (the) Maine?"

They lost their all world RB.

You win those 3 you are setting up for a 7 minimum . 8 with a win against Dixie.
We very well can start 4-0. What is concerning is how we handle UT, UGA, and TAM over 4 weeks. At best we beat TAMU to cap off 3 weeks. That buy week does us no favors likely.

We haven't lost to OM by 19 or more since the end of the Croom Error.
And yet, we've beaten them 3x by more than 20 since then.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

They beat us by 10 with their best team in history against our worst team since 2008. They aren’t going to beat us by 20

On which side, inquiring minds want to know. I quit betting many years ago when I realized what I was betting on.
