Bama alum here...live in Oxford. The comment didn't bother me a bit. I just took it for what it was -- a simple icebreaker for a speaker who was standing in front of thousands of strangers. Public speaking 101...get the audience on your side...tell a joke or funny story that the audience will relate to and laugh about so they will relax and pay attention to the rest of the talk. No big deal...

Actually, the grammar is correct. The subject of the sentence is "percent". Percent is a singular term, so it is correct to say "percent has"...not "percent have". "People who live in glass houses"....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they beat all three of those teams this year.

Some of you need to get out more....haha. I mean, I'm a 60 year old white guy and I understood exactly what he meant.

Since you mentioned Ole Miss and "Hotty Toddy", let's be fair and call them out on that too, otherwise it looks like you are Bama hating. The Ole Miss band plays Hotty Toddy just like Bama does Rammer Jammer. After "we just beat the hell out of you", the Ole Miss cheer continues... Hotty Toddy, gosh almighty Who the hell are we? Flim flam, bim bam, Ole Miss by damn!! And let's not forget the infamous "GO TO HELL LSU" from the student body right after "banner yet wave" in EVERY national anthem at an Ole Miss game. Then there is the chorus of "SUCKS" after the introduction of every visiting basketball player. Kids being kids...no harm done. Just don't cherry pick one over another.

Look again, JSH. It's a black guy who kicks him in the face while he's on the ground. Nice try though.

That's BS, Coozie. Unless you have been out of the country for a year or so, you know what he's talking about. Being an Ole Miss fan doesn't have anything to do with it.

"Many who were there"?????? Wow, quick investigative work on your part.

Look again, stupid. He just got kicked in the head. Let's see you walk straight after that.

Here's an idea, Ethan. Let's start a thread where we all can give our lasting impressions of your asinine articles. What is the point of trashing one guy when the whole team was soundly whipped. QBs always get way too much credit and way too much blame when the team is outplayed. Truth is, TCU dominated the line of scrimmage, seldom allowing Wallace time to throw. The few times he did, the TCU secondary had the receivers completely covered. I'd like to put you out there with no time to throw and nobody to throw to, and see how you do. A "good quarterback" is a team description. The QB is only as good as everybody around him. 11 people have a job to do. The only reason players like Wallace might have a negative legacy is because of jerks like you who sit behind keyboards and trash them. BTW, he did not sit "for much of the second half to spare him from further shame." That is a blatant lie. Nice journalism.

NO, you completely miss the "true intent". He's picking and pulling for LSU in the game.

Yes, and they conveniently edited the clip, stopping it right before the guy says, "no, I'm just kidding. I'm going for LSU in this one."

Just another example of irresponsible journalism.....the article, not the reporter. You folks need to bother to look up the whole clip before making stupid comments. You should be trashing Brett Weisband and whoever edited the clip, not the reporter. IMMEDIATELY after this edited clips stops, he says "no, I'm just kidding. I'm going with LSU in this game". Don't let the media lead you around like a bunch of blind sheep.

Great moment!! A pictorial definition of "SPEECHLESS"!

Articles I've read said he was trying to "re-enter" a club after being "kicked out" earlier. Anybody else want to know why he was removed the first time? Sounds like the first, and maybe biggest, mistake he made was simply being there in the first place. Everything else followed that.

It always kills me when MS State fans talk about the "arrogant asshats" in Oxford. Which fan base was it that belligerently defied a conference rule against artificial noisemakers at games years ago, eventually forcing the conference to give in and allow them? Talk about arrogant!! "We don't care what your rule is, we're going to do this anyway."

The worst no-call of the day came in the Ole Miss-MS State game. Ole Miss completed a pass to receiver Vince Sanders down the sideline. The DB knocked him out of bounds, and after they both were out of bounds, the defender spun and threw Sanders to the ground, blowing out his knee in the process. Sanders never returned, and is out for the rest of the year. Where was the dead ball personal foul unnecessary roughness on this one??

That's exactly what happened. The first bus had to slow due to traffic in front of it, and the other bus rear ended it. Glad nobody was hurt. Had to be a scary time for the driver. MSU folks, was Everett driving one of the busses? Good guy...met him long ago. That said, lighten up on Vince. Not much room to call someone a "jerk" when your own head coach acts like a pre-schooler and won't even say the name of the other school....and then throws his own coaching staff under the bus after the game. Good coach, but not much else.

No rule change. Sylve caught the ball with both hands, along with the receiver's hand, and came down with the ball. Then the receiver reached in with his other hand to try to gain possession as they went out of bounds. Problem was that the official who ruled "catch" came down the sideline from behind Sylve, and couldn't see that he had the ball before the Auburn receiver and before they went out of bounds. I was surprised that the official right in front of the play made no call at all, and just went along with the call from the other official, who couldn't see the play from his angle.

"Bad refs"??? How about bad execution? Kick the ball inbounds LSU, and none of this conversation takes place. Run the all in OT, LSU, like you had all night, and this conversation doesn't take place. "Blaming the refs"...every fan's last resort when the team they're pulling for doesn't win.

"Everyone"??? Pretty broad generalization there...and wrong too. So, were the refs cheating for LSU when they didn't call PI on LSU in the first half? Or is holding a receivers hand so he can't raise it to make a catch not considered PI?

f"

That's not what he said. The point wasn't that they would win out. It was that, if they do, in his opinion, they are then one of the four teams at the end...

IT'S NOT CRAP!!! IT'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCE...FROM A PLAYER ON THE FIELD....ON THE DAYS HE PLAYED THERE. THAT'S ALL!! HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW IT IS NOW, OR WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS. JUST HIS EXPERIENCE ON THOSE PARTICULAR DAYS. Wow, people.

Uh , tenn, there's nothing crap about it. It's a personal ranking from personal experience from a player on the field...what he experienced from the times he played there. It's not a "top 10" that discounts others. There are 14 teams in the conference. He clearly states that he never played at 4 of them. 14 minus 4 equals 10, hence his ranking of "top ten". How many SEC games did you go to, AS A PLAYER ON THE FIELD?

Your unbiased reporting on last week, of course. Any place gets quiet when a player suffers a severe injury. Agree about MSU though. It's funny how they defend the cowbells, calling them legal. The fact is, they were illegal, along with all other artificial noisemakers around the conference. Everybody else stopped, but the State fans said screw it and kept using them anyway. Seeing that battle would never end, the conference gave in and put in place the current guidelines...which they still don't follow.

So, how many years did you play quarterback at a D1 school? To lend some credibility to your last question, the schools don't play every team in the other division. They play their division plus two or three teams in the other one, on a rotating basis. If the rotation has those teams playing at your place, then yes, you could go through a career and never play at their place. Rocket science.

People, again, he simply ranked the places that he has been to..all the way from top to bottom. He doesn't include Vandy instead of LSU. He never played there!! Plus, he says if he had played at LSU, from what he's heard, it would likely top his list. There's nothing "wrong" with views from personal experience.

Wow, people will gripe and complain about anything. Really, Rebels??? The article states very clearly that this is just a "ranking" based on his personal experience. As such, it can't be "wrong". It's just a personal observation on his part. Why get all bent out of shape over it? He points out that he hasn't experienced Death Valley. Would you rather he ranks places that he knows nothing about? That already happens with all of the football polls. Yes, the Swamp was probably very quiet...AT THE END...when the Rebels won there, but the Rebels weren't winning there on the day he played there, and it was very loud that day. Gees!

"Renewing a rivalry" is just sportswriter speak for "time to play again". A rivalry is based on the teams and the games they play. If two teams didn't play each other, there would be no rivalry. So, each time the teams are scheduled to play each other, they "renew" the rivalry by focusing on each other.
