Over/under Bo Wallace picks this week

[DoubleBandMS]

Bo is our qb and NOTHING will change. His playing is bipolar. One game he looks brilliant, next game you want to strangle him. There will be interceptions, lots of them.

[peewee]

While we are at it lets switch the topic a little. Why can't MSU recruit a dang kicker. With 5 freaking soccer clubs in the central MS area alone you would think they would figure out how important a position this is. Took Bobby Bowden a few NC losses to figure it out but he finally did, MSU can't learn from past mistakes.

I'm going to wait another couple games on this new fella. His miss was a bad snap.

Me too, and I agree about the snap, but I just got an uneasy feeling.

You know, I typed up all that crap trying to describe what you did in a short manner. Well done sir.

Bo Wallace sucks, in five years nobody will remember his name. He is a mediocre college QB at, best. You can list all the stats and TDs or rushing yards you want, it still doesn't change the fact that he probably won't even make a practice squad at the next level. He has just been at the helm longer than any other SEC QB at the start of the season so all the media had to talk about veteran QB wise was him and Dak. Let the guy from A&M have about three more games like he did Thursday and they won't be talking about either one of them.

What the hell does this have to do with the price of eggs in china? Ive never understood the whole "he's a bad college player cause he can't make it at the next level" bs? Im in no way making a comparision between wallace and these 3, but im glad the david greenes, brady quins, and steve spurriurs of the world don't have their college stats judged by their pro stats.

[hillhunter]

Well, fine, then compare him to his own. Would you rather have Bo Wallace? Or would you rather have Josh Huepal, Colt McCoy, Steve Spurrier, Johnny Manziel, Chris Leak, Tim Tebow, Charlie Ward, Sam Bradford, Troy Dantzler, etc.? I could go on but most all of these guys I can pick from the top of my head years down the road and they were not successful NFL QBs, except Manziel which is just starting out. You wanna know the difference? In ten more years most people will still know these names as good and great college players. Nobody outside the state of MS will know who Bo Wallace is or was in five yrs, heck I give it three.

Seriously, UM is passing MSU by this year. All these top recruiting classes coming in should lead to a 9-10 win season, and that will just catapult them to greater things next year, as the coaches continue to develop this talent. Less than 9 wins is a disappointment this year and a solid staff should be able to develop such top ranked classes to a slam dunk conference title contender next year. The media seems to agree with me as they love them some UM nowadays.

Seriously??? WTF are you smoking? Contender by next year huh? How do I archive this ridiculous post?

I'm well aware of these guys lack of production in the NFL, which again begs the question. What relevence does a college player's future in the NFL or lack there of have to do with a current evaluation? If you want to say a guy is a bad qb because he has a weak arm, can't make decisions, doesn't see the field, isn't a leader, etc...that's fine by me. All valid and reasonable arguments, but saying someone sucks cause they won't make it in the pros or nobody will remember their name in 3 years just screams, "I don't like him cause he plays for Ole Miss". Ray Guy is the only punter in the hall of fame and i bet there aren't 1000 people under the age of 30 in MS or Oakland that have any idea who the hell he is. Maybe they should remove that bust in Canton cause nobody remembers him

[hillhunter]

Well first I make the NFL comparison, then I compare him to people who didn't do good in the in NFL and you weren't happy, so I guess your right.... He sucks cause he has a weak arm and makes bad decisions, happy now? I made the comparison because that what happens when you are judged, you are compared to your competitors or former peers. As far as being an Ole Miss hater, fine go w that too. All anyone heard in the offseason was how much BW had improved and how much better he was gonna be than last year, this was mostly from the media but like I said they really had very little to talk about w respect to veteran QBs.

Shouldn't they be? Members of that top 5 recruiting class will be Juniors. That's when you make hay. Maybe I've been listening to espn too much.

So what kinda odds will you give me on a bet that the 2015 UM qb isn't on the roster right now?

Seriously, UM is passing MSU by this year. All these top recruiting classes coming in should lead to a 9-10 win season, and that will just catapult them to greater things next year, as the coaches continue to develop this talent.

Ah another delusional Mississippi fan, kinda like this
Seriously since when dose coming in second place earn you a divisional championship?
I guess the same way UM claims to have 3 national championships when in reality they only share the 1960 championship with Minnesota. I haven't decided which is more sad the fact the school puts these lies out there or the fact that a lot of their fans believe them. As long as Oxford remains the land of second place and non existent champions they will also remain the laughing stock of the SEC. With all that being said i think 9 wins for UM this year is definitely in the realm of possible, conference contenders next year No Way, but hey they can always print up a banner and claim it. What a silly program.

Ole Miss has NO legitimate claim to any of the 3 NC's they "claim". The AP and UPI were the two polls used for determining the National Champion in those years. The other rinky dink polls meant nothing. They were never selected #1 by any of those polls.

And back to Bo, whether he's Wallacing or throwing Wallaceptions ......... Romo has your back !

I'm an MSU fan. I just don't see how UM doesn't take a step up with such talented recruits.

The NCAA recognizes 1960, are you arguing that some of Alabama's 15 championships don't count. Stop reading elitedawgs, it makes you look stupid.

[Greenhead22]

Never been on elitedawgs. They were named National Champions by the FWAA in '60, a poll that was not used to declare the consensus national champion. They finished 2nd in the AP and 3rd in Coaches poll that year. Give me a few minutes, and I'll post the same information on all 3 years that I've used every single time I've heard a Rebel fan talk about their NC's. They finished 2nd in both the AP and Coaches poll behind Syracuse in '59 also.

In 1959, Syracuse University was crowned as the national champion by both the AP and the UPI wire services. Mississippi (Ole Miss), which had outscored its opponents 350-21, finished #2 in both polls, and its only loss during the regular season had been to LSU, which ultimately finished #3. Ole Miss would defeat LSU 21-0 four weeks later in the Sugar Bowl. As such, Ole Miss was ranked #1 by Berryman, Billingsley, Dunkel and Sagarin, although the AP and UPI were the accepted polls at the time.

During the 20th century, the NCAA had no playoff for the college football teams that would later be described as "Division I-A." The NCAA did recognize a national champion based upon the final results of "wire service" (AP and UPI) polls.

With both the AP and UPI finishing their voting before the bowl games, the championship was determined in December. The AP writers divided among Minnesota (8-1-0), Mississippi (9-0-1) and Iowa (8-1-0), and some voters split their choices. As such, the Minnesota Gophers received 17½ votes for #1, Mississippi got 16, and Iowa 12½. Minnesota had 433½ poll points, ahead of 411 for Ole Miss and 407½ for Iowa. Minnesota was also the #1 choice in the UPI coaches poll.

In 62, USC was declared #1 by both AP and UPI, as well as 7 other polling applications.
