Do you guys truly believe you were the better team on the field last night?


Your offense is better than ours this year, but our defense is better than your defense.

2) Do you truly believe that had Miles called the timeout when 24 seconds were still on the clock, that the outcome would have been different?


Changing the game by calling a time out earlier, we probably don't complete the hailmary--your right.

While we weren't the better team last night, we are the better program and will continue to challange for SEC Championships, while your Rebels have no chance at an SEC championship--no flame intended.

This "serious question" is the 'bama argument all over again.

"Sure, you got screwed/screwed yourself out of one last opportunity, but shouldn't you just resign yourselves to the fact that you were supposed to lose?"

frick you. The game doesn't go to the team with the most yards or the best defensive percentage. You play till the end and take every opportunity to get the majority of the points.

It would be difficult to argue any of your points, except the one about your defense being better. You are without question the better program. You will, in most years, challenge for SEC and National titles. I just don't believe either will happen with Miles at the helm. It is his players now, and IMO, there is a noticeable difference in your talent level from just 2 years ago.

As for your defense being better, numbers simply don't support that. You can say stats don't matter, but I disagree when taken over 10 games. We are allowing 310 yds/game. You are allowing 322. We are allowing 16.5 ppg. You are allowing 14.7. Those numbers seem to me to show two defenses that are very similar. In fact, I believe our front seven are much better than yours, with you having an astronomical advantage in the secondary.
