    dixon still jumping around?

  2. Brad Locke Says:

    SLU strikes first. Good stop there by Fitzhugh on third down, though. Dixon had one carry for 2 yards that first drive.

  3. Brad Locke Says:

    Nice 50-yard catch and run by Marcus Green to set up Anthony Dixon’s 14-yard TD run. 7-3 State.

  4. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Missed the kickoff BL how did they look when they came out? I’m thinking we should post at least 40 today and sharpen some things for a very beatable Auburn team.

    Putting on the ground aint gone get it, though.

  5. dawgfaninva Says:

    BL, what was up with that fumble? Was it Jameyl’s fault it did he get it stripped?

  6. Brad Locke Says:

    He was stripped, but he shouldn’t have lost it. Two fumbles in two weeks.

    Chris, MSU had to punt first possession after stopping SLU.

  7. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    I like what I just heard, Co-Eric caught the ball even after a big hit. That’s what a receiver needs to do, even thought it was for a loss.

  8. dawgfaninva Says:

    Thanks, BL….by the way how did the dogs come out of the locker room? Did they do they same thing as last year through the helmet? Also i heard when we scored the TD that big Air Horn? Is that new or did they have it last year? I don’t remember it?

  9. Brad Locke Says:

    Co-Eric Riley down after a 15-yard catch. Two good licks in a row he’s taken. Looks OK now.

  10. Clubfoot Says:

    how is the attendence for today’s game?

  11. Brad Locke Says:

    Honestly, I wasn’t paying much attention to the pregame stuff. I was watching Wake Forest beat Ole Miss with a last-second field goal. I think they came out a little blow-up tunnel, though.

    Air horn? I wasn’t here last year, so couldn’t tell you. Was loud, though.

  12. texdawg88 Says:

    1st quarter grade (C).

  13. Brad Locke Says:

    Not a sellout, but not bad considering the opponent and what happened last week. Will get a number soon.

  14. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    BL how does SELA “D” look conppare to LA Tech

  15. Brad Locke Says:

    Going for it on 4th-and-1 … Dixon gets it. Good call.

  16. dawgfaninva Says:

    wow 7 first downs already……I like that

  17. Brad Locke Says:

    SLU usually plays a 3-man front and started the game that way, but I think the MSU run game is why they’re plaing four now. SLU has made some good stops and hard hits. Can’t say MSU is playing way better than them.

  20. maxdawg Says:

    Don’t know what happened to that.

  21. Brad Locke Says:

    10-3 on Carlson’s 33-yard field goal. That was a 17-play, 64-yard drive that took 7:38 off the clock. And all they got was 3.

  22. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    I like the fact that the we are using a lot of different formations but would much rather have TD’s going up rather than FG’s.

  23. maroon3 Says:

    I am glad to be up, but we have got to put up touchdowns against this team!

  24. nashdawg Says:

    Special teams still do not have together!

  25. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Gotta love the way that Jim Ellis subtly corrects Jack. Kind of like Harry Cary and Stever Stone back in the day.

  26. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Jack called Tim Bailey, Tim Brown

  27. Clubfoot Says:

    not getting alot on punt returns today

  28. Brad Locke Says:

    Carroll fumble. Another great-looking play gone bad.

  29. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    That is exactly the reason the defense seems to run out of gas at the end of games. Stupid mistakes and turnovers is murder. Somebody needs to just stand up and say that they need to take over once they are given breakes.

  30. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Gotta have 6 right now

  31. Brad Locke Says:

    13-3 on Carlson’s 41-yarder.

  32. Brad Locke Says:

    State’s D has deflected a lot of passes at or behind the line.

  33. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Seem to be getting our hands on a lot of passes BL. Is the SELA QB a short guy or are we just doing a good job of getting penatration and getting our hands up.

  34. texdawg88 Says:

    Gotta score in situations like this!

  35. Brad Locke Says:

    He’s 6-foot, but been getting into the backfield a good bit. They put in a 6-3 guy last series, Beatty.

  36. texdawg88 Says:

    Should we not be up by 21 considering we are a SEC team???????? Is that realistic or am I asking for too much?????????? We did manage to pick up the 1st just now!

  37. Clubfoot Says:

    what play was the reverse hb pass that jack talks about?

  38. Brad Locke Says:

    Horrible clock management. Better be sure if you run it.

  39. Clubfoot Says:

    GO FOR IT!!!!

  40. Brad Locke Says:

    Double-handoff, and Carroll threw a dead duck with a wide-open Bell near the end zone.

  41. Clubfoot Says:

    JACK IT HOT!!!

  42. texdawg88 Says:

    You tell em Jack!

  43. Clubfoot Says:

    JACK IS HOT ABOUT THE CLOCK MGT.

  44. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    I think we should be up 21 also tex, but not because we are an SEC team but because we had a lot of chance to score TD’s. Once the game starts it comes down to man on man, team on team in my opinion. Conference goes out the window.

    Yet, another clock management mistake raises it’s ugly head. But at least we got 6 out of it.

  45. dawgfaninva Says:

    Jack is pissed at the way we managed the clock right there!!!!

  46. texdawg88 Says:

    Thank God!

  47. Brad Locke Says:

    Beautiful play, nice back-handed pitch by Carroll. 20-3 with 5 seconds left in half.

  48. texdawg88 Says:

    Good point CofC!

  49. Brad Locke Says:

    Wilbanks!?

  50. maroon3 Says:

    I hope we are learning–making our mistakes NOW. We cannot play like this and be successful against the rest of our schedule.

  51. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Jack is still on the clock mgt. At least the half time Bianco will go a lot better with another TD.

  52. dawgfaninva Says:

    yes BL who is this Wilbanks?

  53. texdawg88 Says:

    Gotta admit Rebs looked good today despite loss! Scary to think of the possibilities over there!

  54. Brad Locke Says:

    Wilbanks is a squad player, junior who walked on, been on special teams. First career catch, so kudos to him. Supposedly had a good week of practice. Nice use of the tight ends this half. Stats coming.

  55. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Wake let them hang around an awful lot tex.

  56. joekstewart Says:

    Good half. if we can end the mistakes we will be great. Glad to see Dixon and Ducre mix and match. hope to see elliot and bonner back there.

    Carroll looks good, statistically though.

  57. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    My old man loves the use to the TE. He believes they are severly underused.

  58. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    I think we left at least 8 points out there in the first half.

  59. Clubfoot Says:

    DEFINITELY AGREE A TE IS A GOOD POSITION TO USE TO SOFTEN THE D. Auburn’s O lookes pretty rough, but the D looked good especially Marks (94) he will be a force on the front.

  60. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    I hear a band rocking out to Thriller. Is that the famous maroon and white.

  61. texdawg88 Says:

    True CoC but they were in position to win. Kicked Memphis butt instead of the usual sqeeking by. We’ll see as the year develops I guess.

    2nd quarter grade for MSU (B-). Agree it is good to see D&D running the ball!

  62. Brad Locke Says:

    Yes, and the band was doing the Thriller dance. Pretty cool.

  63. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    I will say that the good Rev. Nutt has made a real turnaround from the days of O, yaw yaw yaw.

    I gotta say thanks to whoever it is in my neighborhood that I’m bootlegging my WIFI from. I wouldn’t be able to be here and listen to Jack and Jim without them. LOL

  64. Clubfoot Says:

    Snead is a good qb. He kept plays alive and found the openings. The rebs showed some speed. First time I have seen them. I got to watch USM and UM today on TV and have to listen to internet for MSU, but at least it is jack.

  65. Brad Locke Says:

    HALFTIME STATS:
    First downs: MSU 11, SLU 3

  66. Clubfoot Says:

    anyscore on the la tech game?

  67. Brad Locke Says:

    SLU had zero first downs in the second quarter.

  68. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    I did the same thing club, except I’m getting the game old school, on the radio. Now if I could only get Dawgs Bite on Tuesday.

  69. Clubfoot Says:

    never mind 13-0 kansas

  70. dawgfaninva Says:

    clubfoot the score to the la tech game is Kansas 13 Tech 0 at halftime.

  71. texdawg88 Says:

    KU 13 LT 0 at 1/2

  72. Brad Locke Says:

    Kansas up 13-0 at half.

  73. Brad Locke Says:

    This Muscadine Ripple is really good.

  74. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Be careful with that alcohol on campus BL you could end up seeing the dean of students. Take it from a person that knows first hand.

    That’s what I’m talking about. Take the kickoff downfield for a TD. Need to score on every posession the rest of the way.

  75. texdawg88 Says:

    That felt good! Lets do it some more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  76. Brad Locke Says:

    Nice pass, nice catch by McRae, who has looked rather studly these first two games.

  77. Brad Locke Says:

    No no, Chris, ice cream. :) Or do they put a “special” ingredient in it?

  78. dawgfaninva Says:

    wow two games in a row MSU has had over 300 yards total offense!!! Who would have ever thought of that. I’m really happy with our perfomance right now. I couple mistakes here and there. Those field goals needs to be touchdowns next week against Auburn but I think we will be alright. I know it is just LA tech and SEL but over 300 yards total offense the first two games thats not to bad.

  79. Clubfoot Says:

    That ice cream is surprising. used to make it when in school there

  80. Clubfoot Says:

    Sounds like something Fred Sanford would drink. Champipple

  81. texdawg88 Says:

    What did they say about a ham string??????? I just caught the tail end as I walked back in the room!!!!

  82. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    With the loss of Cheney I’m glad to hear that Douglas is stepping his game up since CC said that he was going to have to be the guy.

  83. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Ice cream would be the catalyst for a real good Bianco for me, along with any other dairy product.

  84. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    BL, is it a case of cream rising or have the team gotten that much better.

  85. texdawg88 Says:

    YaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHH Babeeeeeeeeee! This is more like it! Just what we needed to do! Git – r – dun!!!!!

  86. dawgfaninva Says:

    I hope everybody can relax a little now!! We are going to be alright….we just had a bad first game. It happens sometimes. I’m glad to see CC backed his word and got the team ready for this weekend. I just hope he can get us ready for next weekend. Also he better keep running that score up!! I would love for us to put up 60!!!!

  87. Brad Locke Says:

    Tyson Lee under center.

  88. Clubfoot Says:

    Bring out Relf!!!!

  89. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Exactly what I was thinking dawgfan. I like the old ball coach philosophy, if you want me to stop scoring, stop me. However, next week is Tubby and Auburn so there should be no reason for CC to have to do anything extra. If they can’t get themselves up to play we’re screwed anyway. Ready to play is definately the coach’s job.

  90. dawgfaninva Says:

    did anybody see that UNLV is up by 7 on Utah

  91. Brad Locke Says:

    I think SLU is clearly overmatched, but MSU has looked pretty sharp, especially since the second quarter.

  92. texdawg88 Says:

    Good move on taking Carroll out! Gaining 1st downs with Lee! How cool is that!

  93. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    I’m not seeing anything, I’m sitting on my front porch.

  94. Clubfoot Says:

    UCF is giving USF a game USF 17- UCF 10 in 3rd UCF with ball

  95. dawgfaninva Says:

    Boy that Kansas State team can put up some damn Points!! That offense is nasty!!!

  96. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Good to hear the back ups are getting quality playing time and still moving the rock. That’s what makes the future bright is getting big leads and playing the reserves. But I want the same game plan being executed no garbage time crap. Try to punch it in.

  97. texdawg88 Says:

    3rd quarter (A)

  98. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Classic, talk a guy up and he misses.

  99. dawgfaninva Says:

    We almost have 400 yards total offense!!! I cant believe I’m so excited about having 400 yards offense!!! but hey I guess thats what happens when you have a dismal offense for the last oh I don’t know FOREVER!!!!!!!

  100. Clubfoot Says:

    Auburn game on TV anywhere?

  101. dawgfaninva Says:

    LMAO Chris I was thinking the same thing!! Never fails!!

  102. dawgfaninva Says:

    Clubfoot ESPN 2

  103. Clubfoot Says:

    Next week Auburn game

  104. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    It’s good to know that the Dawgs have figured out how to win again. I hope they get a little bit of a swagger, but not forget how to work. Now, if I can figure out how to kill all the mushrooms in my lawn all will be right with the world again.

  105. dawgfaninva Says:

    Yea Clubfoot nexts weeks game is on ESPN 2 6:00 PM central time.

  106. dawgfaninva Says:

    chris….just pick all of and boil them!! I here that makes you feel pretty damn good!! JK!! Chris I’m orginally from Iuka. MY family lives there still and I will be moving back next summer!!!

  107. Clubfoot Says:

    That will be a good game, upset in the making. I think our Defense will match up well with their offense. Our offense needs to AU doesn’t look like a #9 team.

  108. Clubfoot Says:

    offense needs to keep AU’s defense on the field and wear them out. Sorry no mushrooms in my yard drank all the tea earlier

  109. dawgfaninva Says:

    I couldn’t tell by that last comment you made!!! :)

  110. Clubfoot Says:

    yeah

  111. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    My yard looks like smurf village right now. When you get back dawgfan we may have to hook up if you like cold beer and BBQ.

  112. Clubfoot Says:

    got any little blue people with white hats dancing around? if you see smurfette, put her in a jar for me

  113. dawgfaninva Says:

    Def like cold beer and BBQ you guys on the VAN make me hungry as shit everyday!! But that would be pretty cool!

  114. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Sure is good not to have to stress over the game for 4 qtrs. The team gets it done early and then you can really enjoy the company around you. Would like to see the back ups put points on the board though.

  115. Clubfoot Says:

    corso is blocking the camera view at the florida game. the camera man asks him to move and he brushes him off. funny

  116. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Relf sounds like a protype QB. Would be nice if he could get his head right, or whatever it is that keeps him off the field. May not be for us though.

  117. Clubfoot Says:

    Does he have trouble with the system or just not performing?

  118. chrisfromcorinth Says:

    Last I heard in camp was that his practice habits were not what CC wanted to see. I would sure be nice to have 3 QB’s to go to and not be in the situation we have been in, in the past.

    Good win boys, guess I gotta take the lady bowling now. So, I’m out. Wrap this one in Maroon and White. I’m out.

  119. Clubfoot Says:

    Enjoyed it

  120. maxdawg Says:

    Wish I could’ve seen it.
    Go Dawgs
    Hope we see it again.

  121. texdawg88 Says:

    Gotta feel better! See ya next week!

  122. maxdawg Says:

    Arky getting beat 27 to 21
    7:20 4th Lousiana Monroe

  123. dawgface52 Says:

    Ark wins. 28 to 27

  124. nashdawg Says:

    Relf is head & shoulders above Lee. He’s 6′3″ and some 225 pounds. Lee appears to be quite small on the field of play, standing among the other players. Not for sure why Croom isn’t playing Relf, but his prescence on the field is quite impressive.

  125. 2thdoc Says:

    Yall have a good team and if the D tightens up a bit things should pan out for a good year for the Rebels. Does Ole Miss have any students that would like to punt for us in Starkville? Requirements are to have more than a 28 yard average.

  126. nashdawg Says:

    We can not have kick-offs going to the 30 yrd line, 45 yrd line. Giving that kind of field position will put us in a hole early. This HAS to change, improve!

  127. 2thdoc Says:

    Meant to post that for the Rebel blog.

    Should be a pumped up crowd for Auburn game. Given the let down from last week, seemed to be a good crowd tonight given the letdown last week. No smelly cups that I noticed.

  128. nashdawg Says:

    I need to post a positive aspect of the Dawgs. The game was a blast. The defense got wound up and literally shut the Lions’ offense down. Very much fun to watch… Carroll ran the offense effectively and produced good numbers. Actually, if truth be known, Ducre is the better running back. If only by a fine margin… Dixon is pounding, scratching and stretching for all he can get on each and every run he makes. THERE is NO slack on his part. I love a passing offense. But when you watch these two backs run, coupled with an Elliott run late in the game, these guys are running north to south and letting no one get in their way. The Auburn game will be a good one. Our players have the talent, the ability, the right stuff…
