Ghost,

Questions:

(1) The Ole Miss O-line absolutely played like shit yesterday. At what point before the Alabama game will this O-line start playing like it belongs on a top 10 team?

(2) Did Patrick Patterson get in the game yesterday, and if so, how was he utilized?
It’s important he get’s a few reps.

(3) If the O-line doesn’t improve dramatically, will Jevan improve his throwing while running for his life against SEC defenses?

(4) Things may change somewhat, but with observations of yesterday’s offense, would it be safe to say Dexter McCluster is going to be the leading reciever for the Rebels, much like Peyton Hillis was for the Razorbacks in ’07? Dex looked like a smaller version of a Hillis clone yesterday.
Marcus Monk was almost always double-teamed, similar to how Shey Hodge was at times.

(5) Was the Rebel defense as dominating as you thought they would be against a very weak Tiger offense?

(6) I thought the Rebel STs were the most prepared of the entire team yesterday. Would you agree?

*Note: This is where the difference in actual coaching starts to kick in.
There’s a big difference in actually building a program with your own players, compared to just motivating someone elses.

Ghost,

You could put the Memphis QB on Florida’s team and they would be nothing more than an average offense at best.
Please don’t make excuses, it makes you look small.
Arkansas offense would have beat your defenses ass yesterday.

Juco,

The fact that Patterson barely got any playing time, must less any touches, means absolutely nothing to me, other than to prove a point.
If he’s so good, he should be seeing significant action against the weaker teams to develope as a player before the real games begin.
If this doesn’t happen soon, he’ll be a non-factor this season, especially if the O-line doesn’t shape up quike.
Shay Hodge can’t be the only capable down-field threat on the team for any real sucsess this season.

Juco,

My point about McCluster being compared to Hillis doesn’t mean they’re the exact same type of players, only that Nutt is using them in the exact same manner with the passing game. There’s no difference.

It’s not that Missouri St. is better, it’s just that Ole Miss isn’t top 10. Not even close.

Peyton Hillis was a FB that lined up at TB, the slot back position and TE.
He was the leading reciever on the team, which featured Marcus Monk at the FL position.
No other recievers were used consistantly enough in Nutt’s run-based (one-deminsional) offense to keep Monk from getting double-teamed on almost every 3rd down play.
Peyton Hillis was Arkansas leading reciever in’07, just like McCluster will be this season.

You couldn’t make yourself sound smart, so you had to resort to horseshit as usual.
The general consensus here is that one could not speculate an entire season judging by the first game of the season only. I assume that means the Missouri St. game also.l

Whiskey,

I realize you believe to know quite a bit about your coaching staff. I, on the other hand am quite confident you know far less than claimed.
My bad on the accusation of Ghost calling me names, but really guys, you couldn’t piss me off or even come close to hurting my feelings either way.

Ghost,
I get the drift on your little history lesson on Missouri St’s. past games. I wonder if maybe next time you might take enough time out to realize that Arkansas game with the Bears differs dramatically from those other teams.
Arkansas substituted players wholesale in and out of that game from start to finish.
13 different players recorded receptions, while 7 more rushed the football (142 rushing yards). The 2nd string QB (Tyler Wilson) played extensively throughout the game, connecting on 13 of 19 passes for 138 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT. (447 yards passing total with Mallett)
On the defensive side of the ball, nothing more than a base straight up 4-3 defense was shown. rarely a blitze, stunt or even a nickel package was thrown at the Bears spread offense.
It wasn’t your typical game where the 1st team offense and defense smash the weaker team for 3 1/2 qrs., letting a handful of the reserves finish out the remaining 8 minutes of the ball game.
We’ll see much more of what the coaches have in mind for the season against Georgia.
No sir, things will be handled quite a bit different around these parts from now on, since the “coaching idiot from hell” now lives in Oxford.

All of you yayhoos sound exactly the same, spilling garbage can after garbage can, scratching each others balls, and salivating tirelessly over a head coach who’s destiny will revert back to mediocrity once again.
Guess what, Ghost? You do fucking get it, because the fact that high school team the Hogs played last weekend doesn’t compare to SEC competition is exactly the point i’m making.
They didn’t even have to breath hard to blow that team out, signifying a fucking ton of improvement over last season, which by the way showed almost the exact same players going against the exact same kind of competition in Western Illinois.
The Hogs trailed in that game late in the 4th qr.
So here’s the difference. If the Hogs are much improved, looking unbeatable against the exact same caliber team, where does Ole Miss stand, looking exactly the same or maybe even worse against the exact same team? Top 10 team? All of you need to get your fucking heads examined!

Holy fucking shit! You guys really are the the sexy little media darlings of this era aren’t you?
It would take a real idiot like GonzoHog to disagree with such an organized and professionalized group such as the national media.
There’s never ever been any bullshit associated with those brainiacs. What the fuck was I thinking? You guys are awesome!
