And yet another shoutout to yet another SEC team who got the job done today to become eligible for post-season play…Ole Miss.
I have to admit, the Ole Miss t-shirt above is now considered a limited edition collector’s item. Since the arrival of Houston Nutt, the Rebels have been playing with an intensity not seen since…well, ever.
Now, I’m in no way, shape or form suggesting that anyone on Mississippi’s campus would do anything to curtail any activity related to their burgeoning careers in professional drinking. Nutt may be a big step up in coaching for the Rebels, but he’s not a miracle worker. And getting anyone from Ole Miss to stop abusing their liver?
That’s the Mississippi equivalent of Mission Impossible.

Big huge shoutout to all the Gold in the house for Vandy’s important win over Kentucky tonight.
That win made Vanderbilt bowl eligible for the first time since 1982, which was during the first of Ronald Reagan’s glorious two terms in office.
Vandy tonight proved you don’t have to be big, dumb and slow to have success in college football.
Maybe somebody could tell that to Arkansas?

So MSU is one of two remaining SEC teams standing in the way of Alabama finishing perfect in the regular season.
Normally, you’d think a team that’s 1–4 in conference play wouldn’t be much of a threat to the #1 ranked team in college football, right? And you’d be wrong.
The Starkville mafia have put the chomp on the Tide the last two years in a row, including an upset in 2006 that was MSU’s only conference win that year. Not surprisingly, that was also Mike Shula’s last year as head coach of Alabama.
MSU had a respectable 8–5 season last year and beat Central Florida in the Liberty Bowl. They also beat Auburn, Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Alabama.
I know the wheels have come off for Sly and the Family Bulldog in 2008, but upsetting Alabama would be a season-salvaging win, and maybe even a job-saver for Mr. Croom.

I’m jumping just a bit out of order, but I had to get in a shoutout to the team with the best mascot in all of NCAA football for their big matchup against Florida this week.
This year’s Spurrier Bowl has a lot at stake actually. The Gamecocks are already bowl-eligible, but would like to shine up their stats a bit to avoid playing in the Boudreax’s Butt Cream Bowl or some other ridiculous post-season matchup.
The Gators, obviously, are still in the NC hunt, and desperately want to buff the stats of Timmy Jesus so he can reach the all-important 20/20 club and take home his second Heisman.
But most of all, Coach Cryer desperately wants yet another chance to try to prove to himself that he won’t always be the second-best Florida coach in history. Good luck with that, Urban.
