One last time

In case you missed it:
Saturday

Johns apologizes for Croom remarks

And while the game may be long past, the wallowing in sackcloth and ashes continues for the Tide.
Alabama has been passed
Calm down, he doesn't mean by MSU, either. But most of the league. Plus, there's this:
Ole Miss has built a great indoor practice facility. Kentucky has fabulous facilities. Mississippi State probably isn't far behind. Jimmy Johns would probably never admit it even if someone could extricate his foot from his mouth, but had the Brookhaven, Miss., native stayed home and gone to Mississippi State or Ole Miss, he'd be a hero in his home state and a starter on the field. Oh yeah, he would have won a football game Saturday. Instead, he went to Alabama, where he's now a highly publicized backup playing behind an underachieving senior.


For an election themed story, here's EDSBS' take.
Alabama Fans Still Waiting on Mississippi State Recount
Brilliant.
The close contest hinged a few key issues. Both teams were strong on defense, but weak on security, giving the ball away at critical times. A corrupt offensive line eventually cost Alabama the lead, however, as Mississippi launched probes into the Alabama backfield time and time again, confusing the base of the Alabama offense and eroding support among the Crimson Tide faithful.

Proving that just because it's made up doesn't mean it's not rooted in truth:
We count all our points as Miss State, because they don’t come around very often.”
