I think you misinterpret. Just saying that measured replies and genuine questions typically draw far less response than brazen, stupid proclamations, which draw innumerable replies from both real and self-proclaimed experts. My poor attempt at message board dynamic humor…. But I guess if I...

I can’t tell if you agree or disagree, but I think you both are 100% correct.

I couldn’t agree more. Tough and smart seem to be two qualities Key holds dear and I can’t find much fault in building around that. As long as we aren’t beating ourselves, we have a chance to be really successful…. And I think we will be. I have no idea how long the road is, but we’re going...

So I’ll give you that this week could establish how bad we really are, but I disagree with the notion that it imposes a ceiling on who we might be. If we don’t improve, we certainly have to look at Thacker. If we do improve, this marks the second season in a row that our defense has looked...

I don’t necessarily disagree with this, but we have a lot of football to play. Barring key injuries, I suspect we will be competitive in every game we play this season. Sooner or later, the D will make some timely plays and we’ll win a couple that we “shouldn’t.” I’m looking at the first...

I find the best way to draw someone out on a message board is to say something stupid. Problem is that everyone here is just so damned smart!

So now you’re a “scheme” guy? Even if we have played two pretty good offenses, why is this weekend make or break? We need a win for sure, but to suggest that a poor performance this week means we won’t improve the rest of the season is silly. I guess we may as well pack it in early so we can...

I’m with you… we’ve had our breakdowns but we haven’t looked as completely lost as some of our other recent units. I haven’t watched Wake this year but based on what they’ve done recently, I don’t think sacks is a metric we need to worry with this week. We might get credited for a “sack” if we...

Personally, I am glad that Collins has time to troll Twitter. Conversely, Key has shut down social media to focus on what’s important. Pretty much tells you all that you need to know about both men.

That’s right! Score fast and often… the defense needs all the practice it can get!

Agreed! Nobody expected 3-0 start, and only the most optimistic projected 2-1. Eventually we are going to have to outperform expectations, but this is pretty much the start we assumed. The D is an issue… obviously. We have to get off the field. However, I also think we’ve run up against a...

Hopefully not the ultimatum we’re left with

Agree… I honestly wouldn’t waste breath on that either. I had actually just told my son that’s the kind of stuff losers hold dear.

Yeah… it’s a shame we couldn’t tackle anyone all night. We wouldn’t have to waste breath telling everyone how much closer it was than the score indicates It’s getting better but these kind of games hurt… a lot!

We also dropped two TD passes (one was thrown a little behind). Those took 11 points off the board in the first half. Two Ole Miss scores on short fields after failed 4th down attempts. No excuse for the awful tackling, but we had our chances.

You’re crual.

Scooped Twitter by about 14 hours?!? Atta boy!

The points made in response to this are well taken. Not shocking to think that places like Oxford, Starkville, Athens, Tuscaloosa and Auburn (and many other college towns, not just SEC) derive a huge amount of annual income from Sept- Nov “tourism” associated with game days. As for team...

Your head went where mine went (I think) when I replied to @Vespidae. I don’t think the NFL directly can do such a thing on merit / potential. That gets slippery and has the NFL in the business of each athletic dept. I could see the league having a set wage for players OR having sort of a salary...

Take heart Yellow Jackets! In my unscientific study based on my observation of human nature during my short time on this earth, I have seen VASTLY more talent wasted than realized. It certainly is not an irrelevant metric, but its close. That said, there is one thing talent accomplishes 100%...
