Just keep the ball rollin, baby! There's nothing like a win to cure what ails ya...
After the lack-luster performance in Death Valley the Bulldogs rallied to take care of business in the Bone Yard (that's my thing, I'm starting it... you heard it here first) against those back-of-the-pack Dawgs from the East.
This week the Bulldogs face a foe from SWAC in Alcorn State. So that means it's time for another theme song...
All I Do Is Win
All I Do is win win win no matter what.
got money on mind can never get enough,
and everytime I step up in the building...
everybody hands go UP!
and they stay there!
and they say yeah!
and they stay there!
Up down, up down, up down...
cause all I do is win win win...
and if you goin’ in put your hands in the air,
Make 'em stay there!
Now I know what you're thinking... Mr. Hooch, aren't you kinda "phoning it in" with this song? The answer may surprise you...
Yes. Yes I am. I am phoning it in by using the team's theme song for this week's theme song, but there is a very good reason. You see this is a preemptive "phone in" I am delivering with the hopes that the team won't do the same on the field Saturday.
MSU faces an undefeated opponent Saturday in Alcorn State, and even the lesser SEC teams often find themselves lacking the same emotion and intensity they have when facing other SEC schools as opposed to members of CUSA, SWAC, etc. You had better believe the Braves are planning on walking out of Starkville undefeated.
On the other side of the coin, MSU absolutely NEEDS this win. Don't believe me? Look at the rest of the schedule...
Houston, Florida, UAB, Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas, Ole Miss.
How many of those are YOU counting as wins? A realistic/conservative estimate would be 3-4. Florida, Bama and OM are road games, and any SEC team can tell you that's never an easy task. Sure the Rebel's season looks to be circling the bowl already with loses to Vandy and Jacksonville State, but anyone can tell you when it comes to the Egg Bowl, throw the records out and get ready for some smash-mouth football.
If MSU gives up even one game among Alcorn, Houston, UAB, Kentucky or OM it could end up preventing them from going bowling in the post season. So let's get to the nitty-gritty.
KEYS TO THE GAME -
OFFENSE - Chris Relf took all the snaps against Georgia, but Coach Dan Mullen claims that Tyler Russell will see action this weekend and the 2 QB rotation is still in full effect. The game had to be a great confidence boost for Relf and the rest of the offense, even if Georgia did gift-wrap the game for us with some major penalties at bad times. The offense must carry that momentum forward and stay fired up. Anything less than 30 points will be unsatisfactory considering the level of competition we're facing. There's a lot riding on it...
DEFENSE - The Bulldog Defense did a decent job of keeping the other BulldAWGS out of the endzone until a late score in the 4th. Manny Diaz continues to improve and refine his schemes, seeming like a mad scientist with his constant tinkering, but hey, if it works, do it. But did it really work, or did we get a helping hand from the Georgia penalties? It's a very chickeny-eggy question.
BOTTOM LINE -
FOCUS - This will be the deciding factor in Saturday's contest. If the Bulldogs stay focused and keep their eyes on the prize, they walk away winning handily. Lose focus and the Braves could snatch a win from MSU before they know what hit them.
WILD AND WOOLLY PREDICTION:
MSU 35 ASU 6
REALISTIC PREDICITION:
MSU 30 ASU 13
And I'll leave you with another quote from this week's theme song... Al Davis said it best, just win, baby, win!
Snoop:
I hung with the worst of them,
bust till I burst on em,
floss em up, toss em up, Hardaway, boss em up.
pardon me I bossing the pressure up, bless ya bruh.
don’t wanna mess with us,
we like the U in the 80’s.
back to back set a trap,
hit the lick, hit it back,
hit the trick, jump the track,
bitch I want my money back!
time and time again while I’m sippin on this gin...
Al Davis said it best, just win baby win!
