    In a bit of good news, Brad Nessler, Todd Blackledge & Holly Rowe will call our game for ESPN Saturday night.

    I think this team could be special next year. But they need to go out on a winning note.

    It's the NFL rules regarding slotted rookie salaries. Leaving early even for a player not projected as a #1 or #2 pick means they get to start the clock on when they are eligible for their second contract a year earlier. If they pan out and make any kind of a splash the second contract is when they earn the big money. Take Kwon Alexander for example. He could have improved his chances of being drafted higher by staying and playing for LSU this year but he is playing great for the Bucs instead. If he keeps that up he will get a fat contract when his rookie contract is up a year earlier than if he had stayed in college. As a 4th round pick he is earning $435k this season, going up to $705k in the last year of his contract, 2018. If he keeps playing the way he has he will get somewhere in the $4 to $5 million range by 2019 rather than waiting until 2020

    The SEC announced that our game against Ole Miss will be an afternoon game televised by CBS. No surprise to me.

    I'm surprised that CBS still wants to show our games at all after Saturday night. The ratings had to drop way off after Bama made it 20-10.

    It is extremely difficult to win on the road in the SEC West. We can win all three, but we should win the home games, and we might not make it out of Oxford with a win. But we certainly could.

    You're right that our hearts were ripped out last year when we had Bama beaten and let it slip through our fingertips.

    Our hearts were not ripped out Saturday night. We got our asses kicked straight-up style. We'll likely come out and actually play with some heart against Arkansas, as a result.

    Our hearts were not as into the Bama game as they needed to be.

    Neither were our heads. We just flat out got out played, out coached. You name it, Bama dominated for 60 minutes. As long as Slick Nick is at Bama they are going to hold the edge over us. Les refuses to adapt and the results show it. And we better have our shit together Saturday night. The Hogs are hungry.

    losing to Ole Miss, protecting home field the other two

    Probably does not get us to a new year's bowl game, who knows
