Print[Ed: If you paid attention last week, this will make sense.]
This is going to be a little bit different than past previews. You'll see how after the jump.
I'm sick of analyzing anything about the Rebels only to have them prove every rational fan wrong. Along with that, I've developed a temporary "No Blogging About Football" policy which I'm currently breaking.
Kentucky by 30.
What's your prediction?

FYI
This is the last week this will be at all funny.
I'm a Rebel, but I bleed the cherry and silver of the Lobos.
The good news is that no matter how bad we play
we cannot lose next week.
The next week though? Yeah, we’re gonna get our shit pushed in.
Pig Pen this here's Rubber Duck, and I'm about to put the hammer down.
Yeah..
My score prediction for two weeks from now might be the same.
And I won’t be kidding. If anything, I’ll be letting myself be a homer.

I honestly have no idea. This game could be the turning point, for our team, or our fanbase. Here’s to hoping we’ve found a defense between last week and this one.
Hotty Toddy, boys. Win this one, or we’ll all resort to heavier drinking
Since he decided to not break the game down, I guess I will
Ole Miss will struggle on offense this week, the same as it did against Vanderbilt. The offensive line will be devoured up front, as a true freshman walk on may be able to hang with a WAC defense, but an SEC defense, even a not very good one, will give the Rebels fits. Masoli will look better than he has all year, again. However dropped passes and a lack of options will lead the Rebels to play from behind all day. Brandon Bolden will get his first carry mid way through the 3rd drive of the 2nd half, as the Rebs won’t put up over 17.
On the other side of the ball, Ole Miss will again make the opponent look like world beaters, giving up big play after big play in the secondary. The Rebels won’t come close to deflecting a pass all day, which will lead the fans to be booing and going back to the Grove to eat and drink during halftime. Deuce McCallister will post a message on the Ole Miss Rivals board about how the team would have won if this didn’t occur, even though the team hasn’t given anyone a reason to cheer for them all year. If Joker Phillips is a good coach, and all signs point to him being one, Kentucky will throw early and often in spread formation, shredding the Rebs secondary for an easy 35 to infinity points.
Kentucky by at least 17
I arrived on campus at Ole Miss in the fall of 2003. Col Reb had just been banned over the summer, so I technically never knew him as my mascot. A student led initiative caused a campus wide vote to keep Col Reb alive. Though the vote passed to keep him on life support, the administration still pulled the plug on him. Though I never knew him, I was there and witnessed Col Reb's Last Breath.

Satire?

Of course

Yeah that was definitely satire...
so is this: Enrique Davis comes hobbling out of the tunnel wearing a knee brace about two minutes before kickoff and tells HDN- “Ya’ll wanna win? Put Boobie in.” in his best Friday Night Lights voice. HDN obeys, and repeatedly calls plays where Enrique goes up the middle for gains of one yard on first, second, and even third down. Brandon Bolden finally gets to enter the game midway through the second quarter, but is told to line up in the I-formation as fullback and block for Enrique “the next Walter Payton” Davis (HDN’s words). Bolden promptly walks to the Grove and immediately begins drinking heavily while Jeremiah Masoli quits the team citing “poor playcalling” as the reason.
Actually, that may not be too far from the truth. In all seriousness, we really need to win this game (and I absolutely hope we do). But UK is better than Vandy, and our defense is throwing freshmen to the wolves right now. I don’t really see how we win this game unless the offense goes absolutely nuts.
GUY MORRISS!
That’s the best photo of him I’ve seen in eons. Still trying to find the one where Lorenzen prematurely bathed him before LSU ripped our hearts out seven years ago.

I searched for a solid 5 minutes looking for it
Got nothing. That’s really the one that I wanted to put up.

Tony, you’re dead wrong about the Ole Miss Rebels this weekend. They are going to beat Kentucky.
Jeremiah Masoli has been getting better and better, and this is going to be a breakout game for him.
Yes, Ole Miss’s defense sucks, but the offense is going to be able to put up enough points to overcome that.
Shocker: Ole Miss will win the SEC West this season after Bama, Auburn, LSU, et al., beat themselves senseless and take themselves out of contention.
Mark my words, Tony, you fat redneck.
Yeah, Tony, you fat redneck
Mark his words.
Prepare to experience Sexual Magic.

Awesome - will now sign all future correspondence "Mark My Words You Fat Redneck, Victory Drive"
I can’t disagree with Colonel Rebel here. Tony Barnhart is a fat redneck. Therefore, we’re obviously gonna win the west after all the good teams become worse because they’ve played each other already. It’s the fucking LAW of diminishing returns.
And he’s being modest: by the same logic, we’re gonna win the national championship because every other team in the nation will be worse as we get better. Bullet.proof.logic.

my advice to Rebel fans this week......
Go out a cheer your asses off for the entire game. You may be surprised at the results. A young defense needs the crowd to add an intimidation factor.
it’s about time we quit the belly aching and take action ourselves.
Let’s make the players believe there may be consequences to less than 100% effort.
Let’s act like an SEC fan base.
Rebels don’t give up. Ever!
Play to the end!
Cheer to the end!
Hotty Toddy!
