My Prediction For Tomorrow’s Ole Miss At Mississippi State Game

Alright guys, here’s the deal. 

I have been chatting all day with WJTV photographer Eric Bullard, and we’ve been trying to figure out what team will prevail in round one of the Mississippi Basketball Bragging Rights Battle between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. 

I think AK’s crew will run the Dawgs right out of the house, utilizing quick tempo and transition basketball to post major points.  Eric seems to think that if the refs “let ‘em play” then the Bullies will prevail, as he sees MSU as a more “physical” and “tough” ball club. 

He’s wrong, obviously, because I can be nothing but right.  But just in case by some miracle I’m wrong, we’ll both go on record and give our predeictions for the score to tomorrow’s showdown. 

Dave
Ole Miss - 79
MSU - 70

Eric
Ole Miss - 61
MSU - 65

Let me know what you think.  Write in!!!!!!!!  Do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saints Disappointingly Talented In 2007

Yes, this is an entry of let-down from a lifelong Saints fan.  I know the Bayou Boys Of New Orleans still have a shot at the playoffs, but with all the team’s underachieving in 2007, I have to ask if the Saints even deserve to make the post season. 

Two games stand out in this epic roller coaster ride that has been the Black And Gold’s season:  the home losses to Tampa Bay and St, Louis.  In both these games, Sean Payton’s players had the game in their hands, and let them slip away.  One from lack of concentration (Rams game and Josh Bullocks inability to hold on to two onside kick recoveries) and one from bad play calling (the Reggie Bush lateral gone wrong in the Tampa Bay showdown). 

So the question remains, will the Saints be able to get it together and finally play up to the team’s potential down the last stretch of the season?  What do you think?  Let me know.
