Surely I'm talking about running the ball with the second best running game in the nation. 2nd and two and 3rd and two. And they weren't dropped passed. One Mett over throws and the other gets batted down.

And if Mett makes a couple decent throws, we win. They were good play calls and the receivers were open.

Olemiss. 2013. Could have called a time out 30 seconds before to give ZM time to throw a couple down field to maybe get into field goal range.

So ridiculous that people get so wound up over this. The very definition of arm-chair second-guessing. This is so far from being a critical blunder (or even a blunder at all).

2009 Ole Miss was absolutely atrocious, I was there. It took a long time for me for Les to get out of my doghouse after that one. But, now EVERY minor second-guessing situation since then is now magnified tenfold into some colossal frick-up because of it, and it's absurd. I really wish people could look at situations rationally.

Doesn't discount the fact that we were totally unprepared for that game....played like shite on both sides of the ball...had some sideline issues...and the outcome ultimately steered the course of the season in a different direction.

A buddy of mine recently told me "yea but we still only lost by 3!" FK that shite. I'm not into moral victories. And before you say it....I've moved past it despite my rant.

But there's no denying that single game changed the course of the season. We win that mother...who knows how we play against Bama with at least a shot at the Naty still hanging in the balance.
