No doubt it was a tough loss but it hurt no different than the LSU loss. To me that was tougher because of who it was. Some topics
1. to those who think the season has been a bust and, yes I know the team was built to get to the playoffs, it isn't a total total bust. I also would have loved to have made the playoffs but here is my issue. Unfortuunately, we are a one dimensional team. Those team don't last long. This team simply can't run the football. Can you imagine how dangerous we would be if we could? To me unless you can get to the championship game, than you are no different than the other 10 teams that got beat. Please name one good team that has to depend on a huge DT to run the ball on short yardage. That is telling! Means your o line can' get a push for 1 to 2 yards. You don't think DC didn't scheme for that. Fla did! We also don't have our best receiver playing either. What is really weird, is we pass block better than we run block which is normally the opposite.
2. State game and bowl game: This is their bowl game. this 2 - 8 team is going to be pumped coming to Ole Miss. I can assure you Jeff Lebby would love to use this game to spring board his program. We have an opportunity to bury them. Kiffin now knows the importance of this game. There is still a chance to win 10 games including the bowl game. To those say, season is over, then apparently you willing to give up the State game and bowl game. I'm not. You finish the season. I want to bury State. Besides, Kiffin and Lebby aren't the closest of friends.
3. Stop with the Quinshon Judkins stuff- He is a sellfesh player who was gripping our his line man last year at the bowl game. Hell, he does't even start at Ohio St. He wouldn't be able to behind this line. Now, if you don't belive me about the o line go watch a record of the conference game. Every now and then, we might break one but not on a consistent basis.
4. To those who want Kiffin gone: Quit being stupid. I understand your pissed but that is just dumb. He is second to Johnny Vaught in winning at Ole Miss. He is stupid than Vaught was an idiot. He is the best thing that has happened to Ole Miss. Now, we all knew that when we hired Kiffin what we were getting. He is a gambler. He is my coach and I'm glad to have him. Don't like feel free to hire someone better. and good luck with that.
5.. To those wanting Charlie gone, why do you think Kiffin wears a headset? He knows everything on offense and defense that goes on. He can change any play he wants to.
This is an important week for us. I really hope the players and coaches don't take the same attitude that some of you have on the State game and bowl game. Playoffs are gone and thats ok. It just wasn't meant to be. My concern is beating State, winning the bowl game, and winning 10 games. For those who remember, when we just wanted to get to 8 wins. Be grateful to where Kiffin has brought us. It would suck to lose him.
Beat STATE
