Now let us treat LSU just as badly as ULM.
Tickets to LSU - $340
Trip from Texas to Game- $320
BEATING LSU IN TIGER TOWN, NOT PRICELESS, BUT ENOUGH TO BAIL OUT THE ECONOMY.

Not a lot to complain on this one. Lot's of points, defensive shutout. Big D plays when they got close.

This how you're supposed to deal with a team like ULM.

Carry this over to LSU next week.

Our longest W streak in awhile. ready to test our streak against LSU. This is how we really know we are very good. We havent blown a team out like this. Even though they were not good, we dominated the whole game. I see USC and UF and other great teams do this. Now we can do it. I am an optimist, but I see us winning at LSU. Like KG says "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!". I dont even like KG, Im a Melo man myself, but he is too cool to say that.

Trev, I am totally with you. Maybe I too, am an optimist, but I think it is very possible that we walk out of Baton Rouge with win number four in a row!

Good showing today outta our boys!

Thank you Houston Nutt......BOWL BOUND!!!

Only constructive (not critical) coment....

We will not be able to run like that against LSU. Our passing game must be better than 50% for 160 yds next week. But that is just nitpicking....

I am so proud of this staff....if we win these last two Nutt should be coach of the year...I am sure it will be Saban, but if we beat LSU and MSU...HDN would be very deserving!

I am so thrilled

BigTrev34 · Sat Nov 15, 2008 6:16 pm

Youre right. Saban will prolly win, but we all know how fast he has turned this around. i predicted us going 7-5, but I didnt expect to beat Auburn and UF and him make this happen w/o G-Hardy and be so succesful in recruiting. Nutt is our mn and I belive we will be mor ethan just relevant in the SECW. Gott agive it to the players too. They were dead after playing for O, with the exception of Oher an\d Jerry and Sanford. Now everyone is addicted to winning and they are well on their way. We have a winning culture now.

Thank God CBS picked next week's game--I really think we have a shot at LSU with it being a 2PM kick-off and them reeling. Go Trojans!

1OLEMISSREBEL · Sat Nov 15, 2008 10:28 pm

lsu should be having a tough day tonite with troy 31-3

1OLEMISSREBEL · Sat Nov 15, 2008 10:31 pm

When they announced they attendance I could not believe it....looked a lot less

That one wasn't on Jevan, Wallace didn't really go after the ball. Five people around me all taked about it. Very sloppy coming out of the cut.

Great jop Rebels on the ULM win. But Poor, Very Poor job on the fans. 43, 000? I don't think so. Very low attendance. Where were all the fans. Where were you guys. Too Cold For you? ULM game notta very good team? Well let me tell you. I was there, rapped up and cheering our rebels on. The rest of you guys should have done the same. Just because you are'nt playing an SEC team doesn't mean theree is not need to go. You guys actually missed a treat. midway through the 4th quarter, the announcer did announce that Ole Miss had just become bowl elligable. You should have seen the sidelines. It was great. All the players and coaches were congratulating one another, hugging and pattting on shoulders, it was great to see. I guess you fare weather fans missed it.
All I can say is, "You Shoulda been there".

Chucky_38 · Sun Nov 16, 2008 10:15 am

Yeah I hate that we have such poor fans. But thanks to all the ones who showed up. It has to be discouraging to our players to run out of that tunnel and see an empty north endzone and a load of empty seats throughout the rest of the stadium.

Obviously it wasn't too discouraging...

I'm sorry--I can't be so harsh on our fans for this game. The folks who buy tickets to only stay in the Groove, yes, they *beep* me off. But you have to remember, like some others have already posted, money is tight. It was tight in Mississippi before this economic "crisis." People aren't going to spend their hard-earned money to see some crappy team from a crappy conference play our Rebels. Hell, they were giving away free tickets at the satellite campuses for the past two weeks, but me and mine didn't go! Now, I've been critical of the attendance before, but that was for SEC games, namely the Vandy game. But fans are willing to pay to see SEC games and big match-ups (see the Auburn game). When you can't afford season tickets (and who can, honestly?), you have to be choosy. You can't bash the fans for being strapped for cash. And I'm not talking about just our non-alumni fans, either.

I couldn't give away 3 tickets. I asked probably 10-12 OM fans. I offered a ride. Reasons for not going varied, and some were legitmate. But mostly, it basically came down to - it's NLU.

I understand taking the kids to youth hunt weekend. I understand a birthday or anniversary. But that was 2 or 3 out of 10 or 12.

So, I ate 3 tickets and went by myself. I had a blast.
