Trickle Down Economics and Pigskin Prognostication Week 11
November 12, 2008
By Mitchell Carter (Big_Fan)

Mississippi State at Alabama

Looking Back:

Purple and gold are known far and wide as the colors of royalty. It is also well known that many of the ruling monarchs were a few French fries short of a happy meal, due to the fact that their family trees didn’t branch very much – they wanted the power to stay “in the family,” so to speak. The Latin period of the late Roman Empire gave rise to the term “lunatic,” from the Latin “luna,” meaning “moon.” Perhaps the combination of these facts, gives some insight into the behavior of the “purple and gold clad heathens,” who gather en masse on Saturday nights in Baton Rouge.

34-0? I hope that pans out for true.

34-0? I hope that pans out for true.

When I read it I had the same question. :lol:

I'd love to see that happen, believe you me.

Gut tells me right now it'll be a lower scoring ball game...mainly due to the team being tired both physically and emotionally.

That is more along the way I am thinking as well. I don't see them putting more than 14-17 on us and I think we can put close to 30 on them but more like 27.

27-14 Bama

You know, I thought the same thing when I was putting this together, but something made me discount that.

A 2 game winning streak by MSU.

I think the team will be emotionally psyched. Against LSU we were flat, so I don't think emotion was really running that high.

Another issue will be MSU's inability to do anything offensively. They have a decent defense, but it will break before ours does.

McElroy will get some reps in this one.

When I get my piece finished, it'll get more in depth with how I see this game going. (teaser, I know.)

Just as a hint, think of a game where we relied on Toderick Malone and Curtis Brown. I don't see that many points scored by MSU, but I see that kind of contest in terms of hard fought.

As do I. A win for MSU can't savetheir season but it would go a LONG way toward helping sooth their pain.

Still, Big Fan makes a good point. If I remember arights Coach Saban still has the players keep the score of last years MSU game in their lockers. I also agree we looked flat against LSU.

I just want to win. I don't care if the score is 3-2.

I don't feel quite as strongly about 34-0 as I did 49-14 over Arkansas, but I feel better about it than I did the LSU game. I was really worried about LSU, but I went with my analysis over my gut. This game I get the same vibe from both analysis and gut feeling...for whatever that is worth...+$0.50 will buy a can of Faygo.
