2024 Game 8 - Arkansas vs Mississippi State score prediction thread

[bigpig]

We're 4-3 with a top five win on our resume, and the funny thing is, if we hadn't found a hundred and one ways to screw the pooch vs OSU, we'd be 5-2, with two losses to the top two teams in the league, basically right where we left off when Bobby was run out of town. Instead, we're wringing our hands.

Ah well.


Mississippi St is one of two "lay up" wins left on our schedule (along with La Tech). If we want a bowl game, we have to win these two. If we want better than just crawling our way to .500 then we have Ole Miss, Texass, and Missouri to deal with. That's for later.

Miss St gave A&M fits last week, but ultimately they lost. Will they come into our game with renewed confidence or with their spirits broken for good? Hopefully, it's the latter.

Arkansas 2-0

This is exactly the type of game Pittman loses seemingly every year. The "should be a layup but our lazy, dumbass coach can't be bothered to prep so we lose to a supposedly inferior opponent" is a Pittman specialty. Plus, these guys have owned our asses the last decade, having won 9 of the last 12 (let that sink in).

I'm also willing to bet anything that Pittman is already game planning for Ole Miss, which will make this a redux of the 2022 Liberty game.

Need more cowbell - 27

Revenge on the strip. The Starkvegas strip to be exact. Our players will come out mean and angry for pissing down their legs against LSU.

Out of 133 teams, MSU is 130th in 3rd down defense, 121st in passing defense efficiency. We're 9th in 3rd down conversion %. We need to put up some numbers.
We win 41-24.

That's not how we operate.  We lose this game.  Then we lose a crazy but good game to Ole Miss, somehow whip Texas, struggle with La Tech but win, and get demolished by Missouri.

The team will be flat. No fire, no give a shit.

I don't really care anymore.

Us: whatever

Them: whatever +1

I see a typical Sam Pittman special:  hogs come out flat, get a lead, and shit in their britches to lose.  But he loves these kids.

Fat Sam's: 20

I'm off of the "total optimism" bandwagon I've been on since Tennessee, I've learned my lesson(for the millionth time).
