🏈 Ole Miss QB Bo Wallace: We have better receivers than A&M, Rebels will score on Alabama

I suppose I was correct in thinking our players would not take Bo Wallace's comments as just another player being confident.:chat2_nana:

While I was wrong about it being material for them to find motivation from...I have to admit I'm a bit pissed off that they are paying attention to what an opposing QB is saying in the press.

I agree totally. All these players are connected through social media and there is no longer such a phrase as a media blackout. It's clear the team needed some kernel of trash for motivation even though it probably wasn't a full frontal trash-talk interview Wallace made.

For all we know Cochran could of used this as a motivator and not so much the players listening to the media (ie: Blackout game). IIRC there was a lot of trash talk for that game too and we all remember the "going to a funeral" awesomeness.

The days of players not being so connected when they all grew up with social media is long gone. I see lots of players on twitter, some post a good bit and are active. So naturally you know they see the same stuff we see. Coaches can't monitor them all the time. It is what it is.
