Nothing eccentric about Mike Leach’s take on upsetting ‘simple’ Georgia: Buy-in, more cowbell
ATHENS — For all of the ‘guru’ status Mike Leach has been assigned, the Mississippi State coach finds his team’s matchup with Georgia remarkably simple.

We’ll that’s a lot of muscle to be flexing. Fortunately that’s something this team has an abundance of! Go Dawgs!
What a tale of two different weeks...vol fans last week were quite obnoxious on SM leading up to the game, and now this week...you could hear a pin drop in the SM world. Ha, would rather have the obnoxious MSU fans fueling a fire in the team, but they are obviously not feeling that confident. The good guys need to focus on this week and take MSU seriously, and I'm sure they are, but there isn't going to be a lot of BB material for inspiration. Go UGA Dawgs!
Still wonder why the cowbells are legal during snap counts since they’re artificial noise makers. Hopefully we won’t hear much of them after the first few drives this weekend!
Yep, I'm with you on that @Eric_C ! I'm not sure how realistic it would be to expect the Dawgs to play at the same level of intensity as last week, but I believe they will play with enough to get the job done. It's going to be scary for everyone else when they see the Dawgs getting better as younger players get experience and guys come back from injuries. Most importantly as you pointed out in your comment, focus on MSU. GO DAWGS!
Dawgs won't have to play with that same intensity. Just jump on Will Rogers and they are neutralized. He is their offense....good..but not as mobile as Bennett. Leach knows this. He will likely be a cowbell ringer himself....lol.
I’m very confident that our Dawgs can and will chalk the W on those stray Bulldogs. And Should be able to do so relatively easy. BUT our Dawgs need to go in and stay All Business till the game is over and in the books. No sloppy, laid back, indifferent play please !! After all this is a road game and MSU would dearly love Any prospect at all of knocking off our Dawgs !! Finish the drill, take care of business, come on back home with a W in the record books and No injuries would be Very Nice !! Eyes on the prize Dawgs !! Eyes on the prize !! Go Dawgs !!
Hopefully, my Dawgs can get a comfortable lead and then bring in the subs to get valuable game day reps, while the starters rest and heal. Hopefully, AD Mitchell gets some work. We are going to need him, later, in the season. What has happened to Arik Gilbert? He didn't even show up on the injury list, last I saw.
Cannot take anything for granted period. Kirby and staff have done a good job of keeping the team focused on one game at a time and not underestimate the opponents. We were clearly the better team last weekend but it was also obvious that Tennessee was flat, of course we had something to do with that. But that can happen to any team. It has happened to us in the past and can in the future. It is a matter of keeping your head in the game and disregarding what you read from the "experts."
Score early and often, and the crowd and cowbells will diminish....think the Dawgs will be focused.
@MikeGriffith
Mike, I have a question regarding the BAMA vs LSU game. I was watching the 2nd half, to see what each team would bring to the table in the SECCG...just in case.
I noticed on the last play of the game (2pt Conv) that Wil Anderson wasn't on the field.
Why would Saban sit "The best Defensive Player in the Country", Will Anderson, on the most important play of their season?
Did I miss something? Was Anderson injured? Just curious, I know the odds of UGA facing BAMA are extremely thin. But, you never know how a young LSU team, with a 1st yr coach, is going to handle the hype...much like TENN.
Thanks
There should be a rule that when MSU travels, the home SEC team gets to use artificial noise makers for that game. MSU would quickly decide that no school should be able to use them. Them being able to use them, but other teams can't is simple craziness.
LOL...I vote for those "Little Horns" kids have at their Birthday party. Times it by 60-80 thousand, and they might wish their was a rule.
I've read they're allowed to use the cowbells, but not once the opposing team reaches the line of scrimmage.
It's pretty obvious that rule is not enforced. Thus the problem is partially on the NCAA, partially on the refs, partially on the SEC, and partially on the opposing teams' coaching staffs assuming they don't raise holy hell about the infraction. It's also on the MSU fans and MSU itself for allowing what is clearly bad sportsmanship.
I hope we beat them to death and empty their stands by halftime. Without the obnoxious cowbells I'd only care about winning the game.
Go, Dawgs!
Oh Yeah I fully Agree !! Having AD back and at 100% would be Huge !! I do wish he was healthy enough to get in at least a few snaps in these last three games to knock off some of the rust. Gilbert I guess will get the nickname Mystery Man. I sure wish for his sake, his family, and the team things would come together for him. I just don’t know. IF he could get things together he’s a great athlete and Could be another potent weapon for the Dawgs. I know there are allot of fans that aren’t to happy about him being on the roster. But I appreciate Kirby’s compassion myself. We wouldn’t want a player with a physical ailment kicked off the team. In This case it seems to be a mental health issue. I read on here a pretty good while back that his teammates like him. I’ve not heard anything where he’s a trouble maker or anything like that. He’s been practicing as far as I know. Just a mystery. Maybe he will be able to get things together and contribute. Wouldn’t That be something if he came in and played Great ??!!!?? I’d sure be happy for him and the Dawgs !!
