MSU GAMEDAY COMIC

BAMA-Mississippi State 2014

OKAY, then! It's not very often that there's a TOP-5 matchup in which The TIDE isn't the higher ranked team. It DOES happen, however. It's just unusual that it's MISSISSIPPI STATE that is The #1 Team.
Let's just let that sink in a minute, shall we...?

The Mississippi State Bulldogs, ALABAMA'S closest neighbor in the SEC is sitting atop the national college football rankings. The undefeated State is playing solid, mistake-free football and winning consistently. Although that IS a bit unusual, it's actually a GOOD thing for The TIDE. You see, it will bode better for ALABAMA the more highly-ranked teams we defeat. Not to take anything away from MSU, but BAMA has been on the biggest of big stages before. Numerous times. (The only thing that scares me is that Corso picked The TIDE to win, but I think we can overcome that ugly mojo...!)

I believe Coach Saban will have the men pumped, primed and ready to assume their rightful place in the top spot. If they can win this one, get by the cowpies/plainsmen/war-eagles/tigers or whatever and win the SEC Championship Game, their chances look pretty good.
