Re: State v Ole Miss - Egg Bowl 2014 - Prediction Thread
I had initially thought that Ole Miss would beat Arkansas and lose a tight one to State. After seeing the team that went into Fayetteville, I don't think so. I knew the Arkansas game was over when Mathers is so mentally unprepared that he catches the kickoff and runs out of bounds on the 2. First time I've seen the Rebels that mentally unprepared under Freeze.
I really think the Auburn loss hurt the Ole Miss psyche far more than they're willing to admit. And, frankly, it's easy to see why. That game was essentially a quarter-final playoff game - loser would have 2 losses and would not be playoff-eligible. And Ole Miss lost it in about the worst possible way to lose a game without using the word "Buckner" in it.
To play off the baseball theme, that loss for the Rebels was like the Cardinals' loss in Game 6 to the Royals in the 1985 World Series (the infamous Denkinger blown call). Game 7 - Royals 11, Cardinals 0; they just couldn't recover. Same with the Rebels this year.
State 24, Ole Miss 7

Well this is a game that I see has already been won. Might as well not even step out on the field. You see once ole miss was out of it for the most part ole freeze decided he would take his team to big gumbo land of the tree houses or what not as unprepared as he possibly could and just basically take one across the chin in a heavy weight fight. Everybody in the country thinks Ole Miss is down for the count. When in reality Treadwell doesn't even have a broke leg. Nkemdechie does not have a broken ankle. Took a page out of Mullens play book from last year with Dak. All these players are back and that's why practice was closed. Well they will all come out and play last as the last three weeks. At the end of the first half it will be 31-2 for state. Then all these players come back at the start of the second half. Ole Miss then goes on to route MSU with a final score of 51-31. Ole Miss will have the ball for 7 drives and convert all touchdowns in the second half. Sheer Genius. Freeze goes on to win SEC coach of the year.
Then reality struck
MSU 31. Ole Miss 35
Then reality struck
MSU 31. Ole Miss 35

Well the dawgs can pull for war eagles I rekon. I still think they get in if they take care of ole miss. Lucky for the west champ is the fact mizzou beat Arkansas so they are in and Georgia has to sit in the top 10 and just watch. Without a state win it doesn't matter. Maybe the lucky war eagles will show up!!!

I almost got the Ole Miss Score right...gave the dogs too much credit. They looked horrible yesterday.
