THANKGIVING

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year because get to spend time with our family, friends, eat good food, and most importantly watched football. It is all about tradition and being thankful for the friends and the wonderful material things we have in this life. It is about eating turkey and dressing and watching the Cowboys and Lions. It is about throwing the football out in the yard with your little cousins. See, it really is a great holiday because it reminds us how lucky we truly are. Have a very blessed Thanksgiving and remember we all have a lot to be thankful for.

WEEKEND RECAP

OKLAHOMA/TEXAS TECH- 65-21

Oklahoma made a strong case to be the team to play Missouri for the Big Twelve Championship. They showed Graham Harrell and the Red (or black & blue) Raiders no mercy as they harassed the Heisman hopeful quarterback all night and made a strong case for the best one-loss team in the country. They travel to rival Oklahoma State Saturday with huge aspirations (BIG 12 & National Championship) on the line.

FLORIDA/CITADEL- 70-19

The Gators didn't have much trouble Saturday as they stay on task for the showdown with Alabama in the SEC Championship. They travel to Tallahassee to play long time rival Florida State Saturday.

OLE MISS/LSU- 31-13

The Rebels continue to impress as they whipped LSU in Jevan Snead's best performance of his young career Saturday. He threw the ball with great accuracy and played the way Coach Nutt thought he would all year. The Cotton Bowl will be the bowl for the Rebels if they can take care of business at home against a scrappy Mississippi State bunch Friday.

BAMA-

The Crimson Tide was Idle Saturday as they are preparing to end their losing streak to Auburn. The Tide have lost six straight Iron Bowl games and if they lose number seven this dream season that they are having will all be forgotten.

MISSISSIPPI STATE/ARKANSAS- 31-28

Mississippi State is coming off a close win against Arkansas. The Hogs played quarterback Nathan Dick for the first time this season and State played their best offensive game of the year. Tyson Lee and Anthony Dixon played well and give State some momentum heading into Friday's Egg Bowl at rival Ole Miss.

TENNESSEE/VANDERBILT- 20-10

The Vols played their best complete game Saturday as they finally won one for Coach Fulmer. Eric Berry continues to impress and helped the Vols get a much needed win for fans in Rocky Top.


Just a little Summary of some games of interest from this past weekend.

This Next weekend should be a great football weekend as well with:

Ole Miss/MSU

Oklahoma/OSU (Oklahoma State)

Bama/Auburn

Georgia/GT

Notre Dame/USC (haha)

LSU/Arkansas

Oregon/OSU (Oregon State)

Rebels Going Bowling

When Houston Nutt came to Oxford this season he had one thing on his mind, that one thing was to get Ole Miss back to a bowl game for the first time since the Eli era. Coach Nutt has accomplished just that in a 59-0 victory over Louisiana-Monroe Saturday.

Now, the Rebels are playing for a better bowl and have their two biggest rivalry games to improve their position. The Rebels have not defeated the Bayou Bengals since Eli's sophmore season. The Rebels can take the next step with a win at Tiger Stadium at 2:30 on national televison (CBS).

While it has been a while since the Rebels have defeated LSU, Houston Nutt on the other hand defeated #1 LSU last year in triple overtime with Arkansas 50-48. Obviously, if the Rebels take care of the football they will have a realistic chance in beating LSU. The Rebels are 6-0 when they keep their turnovers to a minimum. Dexter McCluster and Jevan Snead are playing much better in the Rebels three game win streak.

The Bayou Bengals had to rally to come back and beat Troy Saturday with a huge fourth quarter rally 40-31. Troy blew a 31-3 lead with just under 4 minutes to play in the third quarter. Ole Miss is not Troy and LSU will definately be ready for the Rebels when they come into Tiger Stadium on Saturday. Whether LSU overlooked Troy, or was just physically and mentally drained from playing Alabama the previous week, they better not overlook Ole Miss because the Rebels are playing with confidence. Houston Nutt will be ready to beat Les Miles for the second straight season, this time with the Rebels.
