re: Factors in our favor

Motivation on our part has fallen off after abusing them for so many years, but I imagine if you asked Adams or Alexander or Magee if they're buying into this being a serious rivalry, they'd give you an earful.

Anyone who says they don't have some kind of history with Ole Miss and aren't really chomping at the bit to spoil their little party has something wrong with them.

It's hard to quantify how much we've improved. We certainly look a lot better but that could almost entirely be because we're comparing games against UK and UF to 2 legitimate top 5 teams. We didn't even look THAT good against UF. Our defense made their putrid offense look serviceable as they put together some decent sustained drives. A bad Mizzou team just waxed that same UF team last week. We were about to do nothing but run against UK and had success and kept our D off the field. That isn't going to happen against Ole Miss. We're just not going to look the same this weak as last week against the Ole Miss D. If we're going to win, we're going to have to find a serviceable intermediate passing game. Im not optimistic that we'll both give jennings the chance to do this and that he will execute it sufficiently.

Yeah-there's something strange in the air this week and you need to stop huffing on it. Your reasoning is weak beyond belief.

You know what, I played college ball and have followed it fervently for many years. I like to think I have developed something of a sixth sense about teams that I love. As long as this team keeps fighting and doesn't give up on itself, I'm going to feel unnaturally positive about it's chances of success.

Yes, we agree, but he was run out of town because his feet were not quick enough and transferred to Rutgers.........
