The Upside Downside: Bye Week

SELF-ESTEEM IS APPROACHING NORMAL LEVELS AGAIN.

BYEGOOD

LSU BEAT OLE MISS

This is a good thing, because Ole Miss is at the top of the SEC West and them getting knocked down a peg can only help once we begin our unbelievable undefeated run to finish out the season. But more importantly, this is a good thing because of the catharsis for Les Miles on the day after his mother died. Les Miles press conferences are always worth watching, but this is one is notably so because it is charming and funny and touching. Congratulations, coach.

ARKANSAS STATE: YOU CAN'T SPELL "FAKED PUNT" WITHOUT "F'D UP"

The Red Wolves got our bye week extravaganza off to a great start on Tuesday by attempting to outdo their own worst fake punt ever.  It's no ow-I'm-dead play, but this one is beautiful in its own way for not making it back to the line of scrimmage and turning the ball over inside the 10 yard line.  Never miss another televised game that features Arkansas State's Dadaist special teams unit. Next week they will attempt a fake punt by replacing the ball with a live raccoon, handing it to the referee, then removing their clothes and using their naked bodies to spell "THE TOUCHDOWN LOSES" on the field.

"OLE MISS FOOTBALL IS MY LIFE!"

LOL.

BYEBAD

LSU BEAT OLE MISS

That makes our depantsing at Kyle Field by Dr. Bo look even worse.  Also, we still have to play these guys.  Damn you, SEC West.

PAWL THEY AIN'T PLAYED NOBODY CEPT ALL OF US

The bad news is that there is actually a scenario that could result in a 5 way tie for the SEC West. The worse news is that A&M is not one of those five.

FROM XII'S HEART TECH STABS AT THEE

I had the mixed blessing of being in attendance for the Texas Tech @ TCU game.  It's always fun to watch the Raiders get their ass handed to them, but the spectacle of watching the Frogs' third string continue to hit a corpse with a tire iron got even a little too macabre for me.  Even worse, Weekend At Gary's happened to be the same day that a crucial A&M recruit was visiting TCU.
