Around SBN: Off Tackle Empire interviews Rich Rodriguez

Rebel Roundup - 12/10/09

RedCupRadio
It was last night.  We talked basketball, bowls, and revealed the Cup's picks for the Heisman Trophy.  Our winner: NDamokung Suh.  Not only did we select him because he is the most dominant defensive tackle of easily the last decade, but we also felt our own safety would be in jeopardy had we selected otherwise.  Also, FotC NewportRebel joined us during the last half of the show or so. 

Final Thoughts on Nutt/Kansas | Brandt
David Brandt asks whether or not "two job flirtations in two years cause Nutt to lose some of the momentum he's built wihtin the program."  His commentors then ask "Why the negative slant, David?"  And, "David, is it really that hard for Clarion-Ledger sportswriters, or writers in general at the CL to put a positive spin on stories about Ole Miss?"  And even, "Have you noticed the broadening of the gray patch around his temples?"

Clarion Ledger dot com commentors: once again proving that most aging Mississippians shouldn't be allowed anywhere near computers with internet access.  Leave it to them to allow the concept of a BLOG post entitled "Final THOUGHTS on blabbity bla bla" to completely soar right the fuck over their pissant brains.  "Negative slant?"  David Brandt can write whatever he wants with whatever "slant" he wants on a blog, you idiots. 

I imagine that David Brandt, deep down inside, hates most of his blog commentors.  Just a guess.  And, yeah, I know he's the de facto EotC, but he's also a sports blogger-ish, so I felt a need to rant.

Ole Miss season review | ESPN dot com 
Chris Low is looking back at every SEC team's respective season and, for Ole Miss, concludes

 Eight wins in the SEC is never anything to sneeze at, and it’s also the first time since 1989 and 1990 that Ole Miss has won at least eight games in back-to-back seasons. But with the talent on this team, and especially with the number of seniors playing key roles, there was a real expectation for this club to at least compete for the West title.

That's fair enough.

Strong Emotional in Press Conference | Palm Beach Post dot com
Charlie Strong has earned this.  Also, he apparently interviewed at Mississippi State for a head coaching job at one point, yet wasn't hired.  Hey State:

You see how easy that is?  Like friggin' tee ball.

In hindsight...

does anyone think our team should’ve been competing for the West this year?

Weren’t we competing in a division with the team that everyone seems to think is the best in the nation? Yet we were expecting to compete for the West?

Knowing what I know now about our team, 10-2 (6-2) is the best we could’ve expected.

I do not think 11 - 1 was as far of a pipe dream as most think

Take SC. One play here or one face mask call (which the officials did miss) and we win that game.

State – Really? We came in unprepaired and got out asses kicked. Next time we need to show up ready to play. That should have been a win.

Bama – Call me crazy but the D did a great job against bama offence. If Vandy Snead didnt show up to that game, that game is up for grabs (although would still be a tough win)

All but one of our wins was decisive (obviously we played 4 cupcakes)

All but one of our losses was decisive (to Bama).

So that puts us at 7-3 with 2 toss-ups. So 8-4 is pretty much expected based upon our on the field results.

9-3 best case scenario, 7-5 worst case scenario. That being said, we should have realized earlier on that we should have used Dexter more, at least the threat of him.
