Agreed, but I mainly think Miles/Team was looking around the corner to Bama, ignoring an injured Ole Miss team and after all, they are just Ole Miss! Reason enough to ignore them......
I think the game played out as described. And yes les fucked up the offensive rhythm. His usual time gaffe is beyond egregious. He really is a dimwit.
I do think we overlooked them, and I didn't think we would because Bama is still a few weeks away with plenty of time to focus on just them. However, the mash unit of reserves they were playing probably made our guys get a little cocky. Was that why Mett truly kept trying to force the homerun, instead of taking what was available? Who knows? Another problem is that Ole Miss really, really hates us--and our guys don't give a shit about them. We hate Bama; we hate Florida. Ole Miss is the annoying little sibling that sometimes kicks big brother's ass.
ole miss always plays that way against us bc they are louisiana guys and the surrounding area who wanted to play for LSU. They have something to prove. You can't bottle that shit. Still should never lose to them.
Elmer gets paid a lot of $$ to make sure this don't happen. Especially since you needed a miracle one year ago in your stadium to beat them WITH all of your future NFL players.
And apparently it didn't stop Elmer from ignoring them then either, he needs some football Cialis to get the team up for Ole Miss......even WITH all of our NFL players.
Ole Miss offered my dad a dual football/baseball scholarship when LSU didn't offer him shit. He actually hated LSU well into the 80's (even while he was getting his master's there) over that perceived diss, but has since gotten over it and loves LSU again. He wouldn't play for OM because he loved LSU too much at the time. He figures it'd have been smarter to take the OM offer.
He went to Southern Miss for free, though. Of course, I think college tuition was like $60 a semester in 1960. Inflation is stupidly out of control, isn't it? Regardless, his parents could no more afford $60 a semester in 1960 than I could $60,000 in 2013.
