Still no respect, but it's coming

Last week I posted asking if any respect would be gained from this win, and there were a lot of varied responses. Seemed like most thought it would be a nail biter, but we got the Thump I was hoping for.

Not much coverage was given by the analysts on the win (not that it matters), but next week sets up us a force if the team keeps improving and we can pull out a win.


I am enjoying watching the fire in this team. Defense is swarming and players are playing for each other now. Backs are running with determination, no matter who gets the call. QB play of course still looks like a problem (as has been discussed too much already). Later in the game Jennings finally looked a little more decisive, but his slow throws and indecision early had a lot of people around me frustrated. Offensive line is stepping up, but those penalties will cost us in a close one.

Early season struggles hurt bad, but Ole Miss better watch out. The landmass schools are both already being projected in the playoffs, even though one of them will have at least one loss, and are getting into uncharted dangerous territory where the bighead looms. Tigers need to keep fighting and playing together and the Rebels dreams may just die.

If we don't see a packed house when Ole Miss comes to town I don't know if we ever will - last night's attendance looked smaller than SHS to me.

Here's to a dominating performance last night, and a little more respect if we bring it next Saturday.
