I don't understand your point GatorChump, like what does that have to do with the price of eggs in China? PA said that was the 2nd week of the season on a Thursday night and the Auburn coaches didn't let Cam go out and lose a game versus trying to win it. Either way you slice it, your team sucks as bad as ours. Are you trying to say Mississippi State is better than us because they only allowed 17 and we allowed 51? Are you saying that because you guys got your butts kicked by MSU in the Swamp, and we gave up 51 points to Auburn that Florida is better than Ole Miss???? I find that hard to believe. Florida's offense is PAHTETIC. Mississippi State's offense doesn't impress even the most rabbid State fan, and with a team like that, you always have a chance to outscore them. I'm not saying we are good or bad or whatever, but it's interesting that a guy in your situation with a Chump of a season going themselves, comes and talks any crap over here. Are you just fishing all of the blogs of the teams that have losses that day and throwing a jab here and there? Did you leave a shot at the Kentucky blog....or the Notre Dame blog? Nice...

Two things to consider there Gatorchop. 1, MSU plays pretty good defense. 2, Auburn didn't know what it had in Cam Newton. It was his first SEC game. Play-calling wasn't the same. His confidence wasn't the same. He was not the same player, and he was still very good.

MSU only gave up 17 points at home to Auburn

Matt, at least you won't get picked on quite as much at work for Ole Miss losing to Auburn, right?

Question ...

I see Chris' comments about the game atmosphere. It's hard for me to get a good read on things like that, because there's no outside sound in the press box.

I thought the "O yell" was a good idea and people seemed to be participating early on.

The 3-D experience was pretty good, and the jerseys, well, I had no big preference there one way or the other, but on the whole I credit the marketing guys for trying.

Ultimately, the biggest thing that fuels an atmosphere is a competitive team, and Ole Miss just was not competitive on defense.

When you're already 17 points behind at halftime and you open the second half by allowing that gap to wide more, or when you're almost 30 points down at home with 5 minutes left, you can't blame fans for being disappointed or leaving, and that's going to magnify the presence of visiting fans, who are having quite a good time and have no desire to leave.

I thought the atmosphere was improved while the game was competitive.

What was the general feeling about atmosphere in the first half?

Man, there's just a lot of negative energy here. I was there, I felt like the stadium had alot of energy in it until we gave up the huge kickoff return after closing to within a score. And it's hard to stay in it when you are down 44-17. The bunch we played tonight is the best we've played all year. And not sure if anyone is aware, but....THEY ARE THE #1 TEAM IN THE NATION.....hello??? We lost to Jax State....did we really think we could win this game this night? They just have too many weapons. And we just gave up way too many 3rd Down conversions in the 1st half. SHOULDA/COULDA/WOULDA - we are Ole Miss. Look on the bright side....we are still mathematically not eliminated from bowl contention. Though it would most likely be the Papa John's, better ingredients, crappiest teams bowl game in Birmingham, but hey, we can't pick Cotton every year.....and we all though Jevan Snead was an idiot for leaving.....seriously? I don't blame him at all....if you knew you had the screen door offensively line coming back, you'd have gotten the hell out of there too. Everything will be ok....the sun should come up in the morning. And we need to regroup....with a butt kicking over ULa-La to get the boys back on track. We need to think positive about the month of November....win them all, and we'll all feel better. Lose 1 more, and I'm going to be calling for preparation for next season....Nathan Stanley - get your roller skates on!!!!

if you werent at the game and wondered what it was like... It was alot like an auburn home game. it seems like they had 20,000 fans there. conversations i could hear among the auburn fans; "This is the smallest stadium ive ever been at" "Black bears" "What are they thinking with those ugly jerseys" "it sure is quiet when they are on defense".

Thank you "FlaReb". I've been waiting to hear what you are doing this evening. Please change your login name too.

See ya!

Who's calling these plays!!!! This is embarrasing. Nothing like being humbled and humiliated on the teli...Bianchi from the Orlando Sentinel is correct, Ole Miss does not belong in the SEC...absolutely disgusting. You heard it hear on the OM blog........I'm turning channel to ESPN-U and pull for State. At least we got something out of the state of Miss. that is worth a !@@#$

I think Ole Miss gave its best shot in the first half but did just enough to fall behind by a decisive margiin. Auburn's going through the Ole Miss defense without breaking a sweat it seems.

Good night all, think I will switch channels and watch an old English soap "Keeping up The Appearance" , its more entertaining and less violate that watching the Black Bears here get get mutilated.

Pathetic, can't score, can't cover. I can see why Orgeron recruited a pass rush. I can't remember poorer athletes in the secondary. They are lost. Malzahn is taking it to Nix.....this is nothing more than a scrimmage for Auburn. The sad part is they can't stop anybody. They showed OM players on sideline after kick off return and they were laughing. I don't sense the same type of passion with players as I do the fans. This program is regressing at a steady pace. Please no more qb sneaks. We are our own worst enemy.

After Rebels fail to convert on Jones fumble recovery, Auburn goes 12 plays, 98 yards, 4:37. Converts two third-and-longs.

We had four touchdowns on the first five possessions to make it 14-14. Auburn just drove 15 plays for a field goal. Tigers have gotten something on each possession. Rebels can't get off the field on third and long.

3rd and 14, and you give up a 28 yard pass up the middle?

Newton takes a slide? What? He must be ready for some dents to his head?

#13 Matthews (long hair) stoping the next pitchout, but the next play reverse goes for 14.

Great job D, and Nix. Stoped the option!

Number 4 (Holliday?) took a sharp inside angle one the run, and didn't have a chance. Oops

another big run for a TD. has the defense allowed one of those in EVERY game now, or just the losses? What area of the defense is responsible for a pitch out run? Common Man, tackle somebody!
