What a win for the program. That was special.
Simmons coming in and halting Georgias momentum after the int and injury can’t be understated. That kid is a cool customer. All the money on the table and things didn’t start our way. He comes in like it’s no big deal and leads a drive that was as important as any I can remember. Nice little peek into the future as well. He looks special.
Hat tip to Lane for not getting carried away in the moment, and putting Jaxson back in. Sounds like an easy decision but I can’t imagine that it was.
Whoa that crowd. That was as good as it gets in VHS. Packed it out in the rain, and from all accounts nobody ever sat down. I’m impressed. Not sure I believed we had that kind of environment in us. They made a difference in that game.
Hat tip to the OL. They protected Jaxson really well last night. Their play should teach a few of our fans a lesson in patience. When a roster is constructed like ours has been, sometimes it won’t all be perfect on day one. It takes time and reps. They played their tails off last night and I’m grateful for it.
Hat tip to the staff for what they’ve done. Taking this many transfers and inserting them in key positions is a really tall task. Handling these kids egos, wants and needs while also doing what’s best for the team can’t be easy. We’re doing stuff that nobody has ever done in this sport.
Masterful game called by Charlie last night. Wow! Just wow! Down the best WR in the country. Down our starting RB. Banged up OL. Banged up TE. Jaxson goes down and throws a pick on the opening drive. Georgia answers with TD, and all the sudden a freshman is running the show. I can’t imagine how he was feeling. He then proceeds to call a masterpiece. Dude takes a lot of shit from some people who have no idea what they’re looking at. Happy for him.
Take a bow Pete Golding. IMO, he’s the best in the biz and none of last night happens without him. Dude has taken this program to another level. That defense last night looked like the best in the country. He’s the straw that stirs the drink. He’s the special sauce. He and Lane together is more than we deserve. We are absolutely ferocious on defense and championship good at all three levels. Thank you.
Thanks to the fans and the collective. You guys made last night possible and I’m forever grateful. I’m a poor nobody and can barely afford caps and tickets. I’m thankful that there are so many folks that are willing to give their hard earned money and make yesterday such a special one for me.
Thanks to Lane. He’s the maestro. He’s perfect for Ole Miss and without his vision and ability to put all of this together we’re still just another SEC team hoping to make bowl games.
Last night was cool. It was special. I’ve been around for a while and we just don’t get many of those. So much went into getting there. Keith. Glen. The staff. The collective. The kids. Trainers. Equipment staff. The people who put in so much work behind the scenes that take care of this program. The guys that keep the facilities clean. The interns who take care of the players. The people who feed the program. I know it sounds like I’m going overboard, but I see it firsthand everyday. It takes a village, and I’m just so freaking grateful for all of it.
We still have a long way to go and a lot will need to go our way to get to where we want to be, but yesterday was one of the special ones in our programs history, and it needs to be acknowledged. It was awesome and I am just so freaking happy and full of gratitude to have been here to see it.
HYDR and LFG!
ETA: thanks to Jaxson Dart. He deserves an entire post of his own. Kid has been through some shit in his time here. From taking blame to Spencer Sanders, to leading the program, to leading the recruiting charge to build this team. Kid is tough as an old boot and continues to answer the bell and lead the way. He’s a great kid and I’m not sure there’s ever been a more important or impactful player in OM history. He’s shattering record books and winning ball games at a rate nobody here ever has. Hat tipped. He’s a ****ing dawg!
Quick shoutout to
@RunThePower . Pete makes all of us smarter fans and is one of my favorite pieces of this community. Dudes lovable as hell and has great taste in music to boot. 😉 😎
Sorry for rambling and getting sappy. I just couldn’t be more thrilled to see so much effort come to fruition last night
