Ole Miss fan weighing in here. I am happy to see Jaxson Dart doing well so far for the Giants. Pretty interesting the pipeline from Ole Miss to NYG QBs: Charlie Conerly, Eli Manning, and now Jaxson Dart. I feel validated in my claim that he was the bets QB in that draft. He and Skatt are a hoot to watch. Meanwhile, Evan Ingram has been a debacle for the Donks. I hope he turns it around but bad hands aren't great for a TE who doesn't like to block, and I've seen him make boneheaded plays like unnecessarily putting his second foot down out of bounds to negate a perfect throw for a would-be first down completion.
Ole Miss has a proud tradition of "Ole Miss-ing," which I define as playing down to/below competition that they should/could beat (like Kentucky, LSU, and Florida last year) and self-sabotaging their most promising opportunities. The baseball team a few years ago, literally the year after our instate rivals Mississippi State University did so, became an outlier to this tradition to win the College World Series. That was pretty wild, to see two first time WCS champions from the same state go back-to-back. If Ole Miss football ever does so, I hope that pattern doesn't reoccur.
Hotty Toddy!
Think it, be it.

@mclaincausey I’ve watched a little Ole Miss football this year mainly to see how Kewan Lacy has been playing. I was really high on him after his freshman year at Mizzou so was disappointed when he entered the portal. Seems to be having a really good year, no?
-
@SKT hey we lost to Vandy last year haha. We have a pretty brutal schedule coming up, going to be fun though. I just hope it’s a good game too.
@mclaincausey i always hated when we played Ole Miss. Just never know with you guys especially with Lane Kiffin there now
-
@mclaincausey Ingram had two key plays against the Eagles last Sunday. Finally! I’d love to see him get the ball more.
-
@Mizmazzle yep. He has a long way to go to justify his contract and live up to his immense potential but hopefully that marks a turning point for him.
-
@mclaincausey yeah man. Fell like the Broncos have some key players they haven’t found a way to unlock yet. Looking at you Greenlaw…
-
@SKT Hey sorry I forgot to respond re: Lacy. Yes I love him and he's been the primary workhorse. We lost Judkins to OSU and he was instrumental in their title game. I am always grateful when we have good RBs, because that's not always the case.
-
@SKT good game today man. I saw bits and pieces of it. Got a last minute invite to the Petit Le Mans in Atlanta.
-
@ZackB Petit Le Mans sounds awesome! Well, thanks. It was a great game but I’m disappointed in my team…kind of shot our selves in the foot on more than one occasion. Big missed opportunity for us. But I will say I think you guys could make a run for the title this year if Simpson keeps playing at this level. And he should be in the Heisman discussion too. SEC is a GRINDER
-
@SKT yeah man I’m not sure if we’re going to make it the rest of the way unscathed either, might be a 2 loss SEC champ this year. Our Florida state loss isn’t looking great anymore either haha. I think y'all are solidly in it still.
-
@SKT what do you think about Saturday? Game day is going to Nashville should be dope man! Good luck on Saturday
-
@ZackB thanks man. I don’t really know what to think. I’ve seen Vandy favored by as much as 3.5 but I think we are deeper talent wise. If we can hold them off in the first half and keep it tight I think we can pull it off. Should be fun with Gameday there! Good luck to you guys with SC!
-
@SKT thanks man. It’s insane vandy is good at all but they looked pretty good in the first half against us. They come out on fire but hopefully yall can weather the storm and pull away after the half

Impressed with your team today @mclaincausey it’s tough tough to win in Norman
