Mississippi State 0 -- University of Mississippi 45
Pitiful. Sorry. Lousy. Inexcusable. Unacceptable. The list of words describing the lack of performance by the MSU Bulldogs can go on and on for days. The game today was plain and simple, an embarrassment. Some players played as hard as they could, others seemed to not even want to be there.
The calls for firing Coach Croom will certainly grow louder. The TV even showed a fan holding a sign calling for him to be fired now. I can't say we are at that point yet, but we may be getting close. We have had some good games this year but performance has been sporadic. Tyson Lee has been a breath of fresh air but he got the stuffing knocked out him several times today which brings me to something I've been saying all season long--we have no offensive line. They cannot bock and they cannot create openings through which the ball can be run.
Someone will be leaving the coaching staff soon; perhaps as early as next week. I can't see any way around it. The season was a disappointment and today's game was the perfect way to end a terrible season. The big alums will start making calls and heads will have to roll. I know Croom does not really want to fire anyone so perhaps some will resign on their own; otherwise it can get pretty dirty.
As for me, football season is over for the year. I may watch a few bowl games but I really don't care about much more of the season. I did see LSU lose today and if I can see Alabama lose another time or two then I'll be a little happier. Of course I want to see Navy beat Army, but that will likely happen.
As we have grown accustomed to saying around here--wait 'til next year.
