Alabama 52-Ole Miss 7: Game Recap

PrintWell, that was brutal in all senses of the word. We were out-gained 615-141. After a solid first half, the Tide scored 28 points in the third quarter to race away with the win. I feel violated. I feel like I should have watched The Wire to prepare for what Trent Richardson would do to us. Instead, I just sat there, drinking to numb the pain. It was not fun in any sense of the word. I have seen a good number of Rebel ass kickings, but that was genuinely disgusting and disheartening to watch. I'll share my thoughts on the game itself below.
There is nothing I have to say. I'm sorry if you were looking for something in-depth. I just don't have the heart to write an analysis for this. If you actually want to read about the game, here's ESPN's breakdown. For now, let's move onto Hate Week and forget about this madness.

Its going to get worse!!!
What I saw in that game was the players quitting at halftime because Nutt ran out the clock and didn’t try to score a field goal. The players knew they wasn’t supposed to win but they didn’t need their own head coach telling them that before it was halftime. I have seen this coaching before, 2007 Eggbowl 4th quarter. So if the players have quit on Nutt what do you think Arkansas is going to do to them? It’s Arkansas against Nutt, can anyone say 60+. If that happens that will be the worse beating an ole miss team has ever received in Vaught Hemingway Stadium(not including Jackson or other home games away from campus), well except for the Alabama game. Oh will someone put me out of my misery. Maybe I will move to Hattisburg and cheer for a team that has a winning record every year. Well I am sure the hell not going to move to shitty Starkville and cheer for Mr Shithead.

Yeah, Oz has no problem addressing the whole sexual enslavement issues.
Also, your mention of Oz reminded me of this.

After 36 years of thinking that it can't get any worse
it just got worse. I thought the day that Ole Miss went up 21 – 0 on bama in Jackson and then lost 52-21 was the worst it would ever be against the Tide. This certainly tops that.
I can’t even find the energy or desire to participate in Hate Week, even though Arkansas is fun (and easy) to mess with. I can’t even care that there are – how many games left? It’s just football after all, and the season will pass and UM will make adjustments and things will not change as always, because someone will pull in the ole good buddy of someone else who was a buddy with someone who deserves a shot and so on and so on. Our athletics department will still be run like a failing bank while the shareholders and executives cash out. Good thing I no longer live and die by this nonsense.
One must have tremendous respect for those who practice the art of football to the extent with which it is practiced in the SEC. However, continually being on the receiving end of the ass whippings does eventually numb the flesh. I feel the most sorrow for the players who have chosen Ole Miss as their place to play. Perhaps they are part of the problem, and to some extent they must be, but I don’t think any of them came here to play poorly. I do think their leaders came here to get the hell out of where they were and now they want to be somewhere else. Whatever, ultimately its the players who, scholarships and other benefits notwithstanding, step out and take it every week while we merely watch. Both activities are equally painful.
Now its time to get the yard ready for winter and think about holiday plans while football once again becomes a passing fancy. As I drive to work each morning amid bama and auburn car flags flapping in the breeze, I can at least find comfort in the fact the St. Louis Cardinals are in the World Series. And since my second favorite team is the Texas Rangers, this time I can’t lose. Imagine that.
I'm with you Loxley Rebel!!
After what happened this past wknd….I have no energy to hate on Arkansas and I agree, it’ll be very ugly this wknd as well.

Hell,
I didn’t have the energy to do a proper game analysis. When you’re too apathetic to hate Arkansas, you know the season has gone to shit.

This weekend
I somehow managed to sit through that game until the clock read 00:00. It was very hard, I think this is the last call for Nutt. Also for Boone because of what else happened this weekend. We went 0-5 this weekend in sports. I know no stock is really put into volleyball and soccer, but they are 6-13 and 5-10-1 respectively. Along with under performance across almost all sports, I really think when we wake up at the end of this sports year, there will mass changes across the board.

I want to agree with you but with Nutt’s buyout being almost half of what it is now, I think they’ll wait until the end of the season.

Please tell me the baseball squad at least managed to get a split out of the intrasquad game
I don’t care if it was the Red or the Blue team, but hopefully one of them notched a W.

My Arkansas buddy just told me that they’ve gotta watch out bc Ole Miss always beats someone we’re not supposed to….I just laughed and said hell, maybe that means we’ll give LA Tech a run for their money! But in reality, that’s pretty bad that Arkansas fans can say that about us…sorry, this post turned more into sorrow than hate
It's not just the team Nutt has lost
He’s lost the fans, the alumni, the students. The burden of an emotional investment in this program has been cast aside by nearly everyone. Not sure if that’s even a bad thing at this point.
This was my first game to attend this year. We left after the Rebels’ first possession of the second half, when they were down 24-7 — the writing was clearly on the wall at that point — and by the time I got to my car Alabama had already gotten to 40.
Nobody cared. There were lots of people streaming out with us who (like us, frankly) had already put this team out of their minds and were laughing and talking about going out and generally having a good time. We did have a great time after the game, btw — I wasn’t bummed out or anything. Nobody was.
I guess I wish Nutt could be fired today, and Gunter Brewer could be allowed to coach the team for the rest of the season because that might make me interested in this program again. But I have pretty much checked out, regardless.
There are several creatures approaching from the Southeast...
Speak for yourself.....
In a huge error in judgement, I do care. I had to leave the game mid 3rd quarter as I had the sudden urge to punch every Bama clad fan square in the face. I care that we suck and there is no hope until the administration gets their head out of their collective a$$es. I care that I had to listen to family friends talk about how great Tuscaloosa is and how I should have gone there. I had no response…..I mean what’s the response? There is no response, that’s how bad it is.
And at this point in time, I’m starting to think they might be right…..at least until something changes with the buddy system in Oxford. The Ole Miss administration makes me want to vomit.
If you came to Ole Miss
for the athletics, your college decision was poorly researched.
And fuck anyone who compares Tuscaloosa and Oxford. Tuscaloosa would be Meridian at best if it didn’t have a major state university.

Lulz
I love when people try to pull the whole “Oxford ain’t all that great either” line. For starters, it’s a tacit admission that we’re right to suggest that wherever you’re from isn’t as great as Oxford and, secondly, it completely ignores the consensus opinion of everybody else in America.
Hell, just this past week Oxford was the featured destination in the New York Times’ travel section (in the feature story, the author said “I’ve visited Oxford…many times and have slowly arrived at the opinion that it may be America’s best small city”). So, really, hate on, Promeco, because some yuppie bastard from Manhattan fucking LOVES Oxford.

Don't worry
Definitely didn’t come to Ole Miss solely for the athletics or the education but Jesus we’re a disaster. Worst I’ve ever seen us.
What's killing me the most in all of this is knowing that
the players have essentially entrusted their futures to what transpires on the field. As the Bible says, “without a vision, the people perish.” It seems that there is no vision. It seems like several of the players (including (or maybe especially) Bolden) wish they had played somewhere else. That’s depressing.
Oh, and Melvin Harris was dismissed from the team today.
...I'm probably in Hume Hall
You have got to be kidding me.
I always say 'beer me.' It gets a laugh, like, a quarter of the time.

If we had won it would've been a sign that the Apocalypse is at hand......
I was yelling at the t.v. I ran outside and yelled “UPSET GOING DOWN RANDALL MACKEY BABY!!” at my Bama Fan neighbor across the street after we came out and jumped all ova them bitches real quick, then silence……………………My wife sat upstairs watching the Lifetime channel movie of the week instead as I sat in silence watching the Snuff Film that was the Ole Miss vs Alabma game.
Maybe the Apocalypse is still at hand, a guy in Memphis was arrested for having sex with a MALE German Shepard (and it wasn’t even his dog to make it worse). I guess he just said “To hell with Human Poon, I need something exotic!!” All I can hope for now is that we will beat MSU and the rest of the OOC schedule.
I'm simply legendary......

We run plays on offense..
We do not have an offense, and bad plays at that. Bama has their standard run plays, Arkansas airs it out and runs crossing patterns, Even that scientologist runs a run base spread with certain plays you see every week. We have no offensive identity. Granted, since we won the Cotton bowl, we lost Kent Austin, but no wild rebel? It’s a grab ass offense. Defensively, we may have to go to a 3-3-5 with all the losses on the d line. This shit is going to be ugly this week, Petrino is an ass and if he can hang 100 on us he will.

Well, I had a lovely time in the Grove
and will continue to do so. of course, I don’t have to drive very far. let’s face it; we’ll suck, we’ll get better, hen we’ll suck again. but I’ll keep trying to win the party
Create a better time at the Grove for the LSU game

Reach Orgeron levels of indifference now.
I just don’t care. We’ll fire Nutt, hire someone and the process starts all over again.

It's heartbreaking.
I’m not trying to be a concern troll or anything. I have honestly never seen a fan base this demoralized. I love football with the heat of a thousand suns, and to see this happen to a fan base is just painful. I’m an Alabama fan. I LOVE rivalries. They make for the best games, and they’re the reason I prefer college ball over the pros. I wouldn’t mind seeing Ole Miss become a Bama rival again.
On a different and unrelated note, there are rumors that Missouri will be joining the SEC. It’s bad enough that we have two Bulldogs and two Tigers. Do we really need a third Tigers team? There should be a conference rule saying that no two teams can have the same mascot. Barn’s saying is “War Eagle”? Okay, they should be the Eagles. Georgia calls themselves the Dawgs? Make that official. As for Missouri, I don’t know. Maybe call them the Chupacabras or something. Not like they won’t be getting curbstomped when they join the SEC. Also, way too much of the same color schemes. Protip: Red, blue, and orange are NOT the only colors in existence. Change it up.
And Rebels… Why couldn’t you have gotten a James Dean or young Dennis Hopper lookalike as your mascot, or at least made the Rebel Bear into something that would frighten small children and cause the elderly health issues?
I will put an asterisk next to an Alabama Crimson Tide "fake national title" the second one is given. That day has not and will never come. But to be fair, I'll give you 1941 if you give me 1945 and the Missing Ring of 1966.
