OLE MISS 31, FLORIDA 30

At least someone’s happy about this. Frankly, you’re probably fortunate if you lose by one after you spend the entire third quarter practicing the “fumble” drill. You’re actually fortunate to not lose by two TDs, actually, given the number of flubs, mistakes, miscues, clusterfucks, missed tackles, blown assignments, dropped passes, and fumbles fumbles fumbles fumbles fumbles did we mention fumbles yes fumbles.
The defense made one critical mistake, and that was Major Wright deciding to guard the wrong side of the field on the long pass to Shea Hodge. The rest is on the offense: the offense that kept playing the lunch buffet with the play-calling, calling up a seemingly random slew of plays to turnover the ball with, the offense that gave the Ole Miss offense the ball three times inside the fifty, the offense plunged this team headfirst off a cliff with errors and a final fatal playcall—the Tebow Smash that hasn’t worked at all going on now four games into this season–that was doomed from the beginning.
Turnovers killed Florida for the majority of the game. Then play-calling delivered the coup-de-grace. Someone tell us how Tim Tebow morphed into low-carb Jared Lorenzen in the span of a single offseason, and we’ll give you a dollar for your efforts. Holy fucking cowcunt, we just lost to Count Giggity in game four in classic Houston Nutt fashion: countless mistakes by the other team, outrageous high-school playcalling, a quarterback who goes 9/20 but throws nothing but backbreakers on those completions.
If your team’s undefeated right now, do us a favor: watch. your. fucking. ass. Oh, and if the game’s on the line, and you’re a bit skeevy on the idea of having your kicker try a 51 yarder, try something that doesn’t play into the obvious weaknesses of your team thus far and the other team’s strengths simultaneously.

Someone’s a little bit cranky. Its one loss, calm down. Haven’t you not learned anything from last season?
If anyone has the right to be cranky, its Virginia fans. Their team just got SERVED by DUKE. Unreal

OFFENSEOFFENSEOFFENSE!!!! Can someone please explain to me why Dan Mullen chose to call the plays that he did? I mean seriously what. the. fuck? Most of the errors in this game were mental errors that a well-honed, mature team would have surpassed? We’re fucking mature? We’re still in fucking diapers in my opinion. We got beaten straight up. There goes my weekend.

PAC10Observer says:
So, let me get this straight… U$C loses to an unranked OSU team on the road, and all we hear is, “The PAC-10 is soooo overrated. How can a top ranked team team lose to an unranked conference opponent? Just goes to show you how bad and weak their conference is. ” Now that a mighty highly ranked SEC team has lost to an unranked conference foe (at home no less), I’m sure what we’ll hear is, “Look how good the SEC is. When an unranked team can beat a top-5 ranked conference opponent on the road, it just goes to show you how balanced and tough our conference is.” Well, which one is it? You can’t have it both ways.
Just pointing out the obvious…

I’d say the defense was also responsible for letting a sub-par running back gash for 5-8 yards at a time from the shotgun.
Did enjoy the Jared Lorenzen reference though.
I’m hoping the Dawgs keep their shit together tonight. I hate that bastard Saban!

We tried giving it to you and you gave it right back. Ole Miss looked as bas as any team in the country on that last drive of the 1st half. I hope Dexter takes the majority of snaps from here on out.

One loss? Itls Mississippi… Florida has no room for error now. This si the SE, they have a big game vs. LSU in two weeks.. pretty much every game is win out from here.
Florida was terrible in the 2nd half, you can’t turn the ball over like that… I guess Florida didn’t watch and learn from USC’s game on Thursday night.

That call on 4th down with the game on the line? May Dan Mullen’s sack be besieged by angry fire ants.
At least Florida still controls their destiny in the East. But that doesn’t take the sting of this bullshit loss away.

OxfordAndrew says:
It could be worse… you could have been Croomed. This year Ole Miss didn’t let one player (Percy Harvin) beat us the way Tim Tebow did last year. Great game overall.
Seriously, Ole Miss almost lost the game due to penalties and weird calls (like the overturned completion where the receiver had his hands under the ball the entire time). The fact that Ole Miss pulled it out I think shows a change in the attitude in Oxford. I had heartburn towards the end because Ole Miss has tended to lose these close games.

Small consolation, but is anyone else seeing the ad for “What Just Happened”? Seems appropriate.

With all due respect, USC lost to an Oregon State team that lost to a bottom feeder conference opponent.
Meanwhile, Ole Miss’ two losses have both come to ranked teams.

UFmegood says:
Once again in a close game, Dan Mullen finds a way to lose it for us. Urban’s plan to “take back the swamp” lost a lot of it’s meaning last year when Auburn kicked a last second field goal against us to ruin our undefeated at home record since Meyer took the reins. But this just took a figurative shit on our morale.
Houston busted his Nutt right in Meyers smug eye. And all Meyer is going to do in press conferences is dodge dive dip duck and dodge all the important questions about why we never play to our potential.
Fire Dan Mullen and give me his job. Or give it to anyone but him. Hell, give it to a chimpanzee who picks plays at random by hitting whichever colored buttons strike his fancy.
Oh, and congrats to Ole Miss.

Mr.Pelican Pants says:
Well let me be the first to say it….I try to warn ya Orson, I said 3 weeks ago the game I worried about for Bama was Ole Miss, now my sneaking suspicions have been proven and the bats outta the cave…. Batshitcrazy won with Coach O’s players, the same players that played everyone close last year(too close for comfort), and due to bad QB’s and coaching decisions, lost most of those they should have won. Houston Nutt is the master of taking everything you give him and getting points off it and making you pay…..Coach O would turn around and give it back. If I recall, Ole Miss has played many supposed “tough” SEC teams to the wire more often than not, most times a last minute field goal either won it for the other team or lost it for Ole Miss…YOU CANT LET HOUSTON NUTT HANG AROUND HE WILL WEASEL HIS WAY TO A WIN…HE IS LIKE A HOMELESS PERSON WHO LIVES ON THINGS PEOPLE GIVE AWAY…..so keep giving and he will keep taking fumbles, missed tackles, penalties…..and putting them on the scoreboard as a reminder……..Da Rebbas dun it agin

I’d also like to point out that our offensive line got hurdled on the blocked PAT. HURDLED. STRAIGHT UP FUCKING CLOWNED ON.
also, we need another Dallas Baker/CI physical beast. Tebow led Harvin and Murphy by a margin of inches, and they couldn’t reach the ball.
I thought Carl Moore was gonna fill that gap, but he’s softer than 3-ply charmin.
Bunch of big headed athletes at Florida. We need a coach who is gonna push their shit in at the first sight of overconfidence.

What the hell was going on on the sidelines? How the hell do you not make a single adjustment at the half? How the FUCK do you allow a PAT to be blocked? I mean I would use the “looking ahead to next week” excuse, but were they looking ahead to fucking Arkansas? How did Urban allow the guys to get so big headed off a win against a bullshit (sorry, Holly) Tennessee team? Diddy Mao indeed. Pass the ‘dro fellas, its gonna be a long fall…

Not that I have a vote, but i’d put USC above UF. USC had a flat first half and came on strong but it was the too little too late thing.
