Let's review....
- Thread starter Drebin
- Start date
I’m A ok with this result. The TOs are annoying, but definitely fixable.
Like I said in the game thread, you can’t tell me the late time slot for these guys wasn’t a factor, and they still persevered.

Agreed. I’m not concerned. You could tell we lacked concentration. That could mostly be due to the awful start time. That start time never should have been in play for this game.
Even with a few mistakes and Arizona getting very lucky, we beat them by multiple touchdowns.

Yeah that was planned to try to give pac 12 a win. Force team from sec to play late late. Then give calls to pac 12 team.
We gave them 10 of their points on turnovers, or it's ugly. Time to beat that tiger *** *****!

I'll take it
Decent outcome from a C+/B- performance. Something to be said for having a floor that doesn't get you an L there. I'll take the road W.

Not to mention the last fumble the receivers head was literally being wrenched off when he got hit.
Calvin’s fumble, yea that was just bad.

It was an SEC officiating crew. I can only hope you were being sarcastic regarding the start time. If not, please google time zones. You can thank me later.
We won by 3 TD's on the road to a power 5 opponent. I don't care how bad we looked tonight we walked out a tough place that we have never played at before and won somewhat convincingly.
Why are you a fan? You’re obviously miserable. It’s like you aren’t happy with a 3 touchdown win and want everyone else to be unhappy too. What point difference would have impressed you tonight? 40? 50? You still probably would ***** then.
I’m really curious what this guy thinks is good. What is peak MSU? The ‘14 offense couldn’t hit a corner fade and it bit them in the end. No disrespect to that great team.
I really think I liked you better when you were just bitching about the pretty elf princess slinging a sword, and even then I didn't really like you much. You've been on an angry elf roll here lately.
Lol, it's in my blood down through time. Nothing would have impressed me tonight. We were playing one of the absolute worst teams in the P5. I would have considered a game that was obviously out of reach and in control mid way through the second quarter a sign that we were at least meeting acceptable expectations. We absolutely did not rise to that level. At least we won.
Ah, WELL done! Then again, in Tolkien's world, princesses, above all, ELF princesses, did NOT sling swords.
I’m sure there is some context for this that I
missed but this is the weirdest post I’ve read on SPS
There’s a fairly long locked thread from yesterday where he had a mental breakdown because the new LOTR series isn’t like the books.
I liked him better
When he was losing his mind on people who didn’t want to live in a fall out shelter during covid, but he was going to high school football games. L4 is a true treasure.
I can't count the number of times I've heard people say that all damn season long while the mistakes continued. We have an extremely veteran team. They shouldn't be making those mistakes. It was a sloppy, ugly win over a really bad team, but that's a hell of a lot better than a beautiful loss. I will say, if we can get the mistakes corrected, we can be a pretty good team.
Well, let's analyze some of these mistakes:
Ducking with the drop that led to the pick: this is a veteran team but Ducking isn't a veteran player. Mental lapse there that will get fixed on leach beach.
Calvin with the fumble: We are deep at the position - if it becomes a trend, he will grab a seat
Missed extra points: Looks like that is already fixed.
I think our defense did what it usually does under Arnett: start out slow but make adjustments as the game goes along
My biggest concern with this team was also my concern before the season started: OL play. Kam had a bad night last night and he's got to get better and fast if he's going to be able to block SEC DLs.
To play as sloppy as we did and still come out with a comfortable W that was never in doubt was a pretty solid outcome. Years past, we'd have lost that game. The turnovers and penalties have to be cleaned up before next week, though, or we'll get our *** handed to us.
I have known Bill all my life and it's just his way. He is as loyal a State fan you will of ever come across. I know this is probably an understatement but he likes to temper his expectations to a fault almost. I can't tell you how many times we have disagreed but we are still good friends and he is a good friend to have. Just think of him as an Extreme dog who makes longer posts and a Tolkien purist.
I don't totally disagree with you. Just a peeve of mine. I always wonder, if the mistakes are that easy to fix, why haven't they been fixed? A few comments:
Ducking & Calvin - Duking's been around a while just hasn't played much. One thing I don't like is playing 12 players at 4 positions. Pick your best players and give them the snaps.
Extra points - Agree
Defense - Looked awful for a drive and a half. Then after the wild interception, they looked great. Arizona's offense is really bad though.
#58 - yeah, he was horrible last night.
Overall, I think we should have blown Arizona out, but it was a solid road win and that's not bad.

Yeah, I've been a Mississippi State fan all my life, so I totally understand where you're coming from.
I only got loud last night when we missed second extra point so I thought we did pretty good. The interceptions were just bad breaks and the fumble from Calvin I will give him a pass on. He won't need a chiropractor visit for a month because I'm sure every part of his neck popped on that one face mask. We were very sloppy but it was on the road in the middle of the night for us so we'll get a better reading on our team this weekend.
Your question prompted me to check last night's box.
We got called for 3 holding penalties (1 declined) that I'm sure we deserved.
They got called for zero, which any casual fan who watched that game knows is absurd.
I'll say this, reviewing the penalties called made me realize that we would be livid again with this crew if this game had gone off the rails. It's a sad state in college officiating.
If you're going to suck at least suck consistently both ways.
Just curious…what do you consider a blowout? They won by 3 TDs and the spread was 10.5 so they doubled that up.
Overall pleased with the way we went on the road overcame adversity and won by 3 tds. Could have won by a lot more if we didn't play so careless at times and have some weird turnovers. Refs didn't help. Late night didn't help.
Will played really well. Receivers I would give a B just because of the turnovers. Defense played well. Just want them to break down on the sack more but they made that qb make a bunch of dumb plays. So far this season we have taken care of business and won like we should going in to Baton Rouge. Should have beat them last year. Should get them this year if we play like we can

I was in line behind Jack Cristil at Todd's in Tupelo getting a plate lunch on a Sunday. I said to Jack that was an ugly win against LA Tech yesterday. He looked at me with disdain, grunted and said. Son anytime you can put a W on the schedule it's a good day. I think he would have flicked a lit cigarette butt at me if he had one.
Calvin's fumble wasn't the one that was due to the face mask, that was Marks, Calvin had the ball stripped from him.
What. Trust me I understand time zones. I from Mississippi originally went to grad school school in California and work with people every day all over the country in multiple time zones including Hawaii.
I was just saying they didn't consider half their audience with that kick time. They put us late at night to make it a better match up for pac12 and give pac12 better chance of winning making us play so late too on the road. They could have had two west coast teams play in that spot but they put us there rather than in a 6 pm their time or 3 pm time there. That was on fox and pac 12.
Now for the refs they were so bad on calling on us I thought they were pac12 refs. Turns out it was the same shifty crew from Memphis game. They don't need any more games with sec teams
