Trick or Treat!

It appears Mississippi State was giving out quite a few treats Saturday.  

Mike Gittens tweeted: 

Per a source, Auburn's defense caught on to Mississippi State's offensive calls early in Saturday's game. Any call that started with a certain letter was a run play and they figured it out by the second quarter. MSU kept on doing it. #auburnfootball

Too funny.  Meanwhile, the folks at SEC Shorts dropped a new webisode this morning.

Coaches make this much harder than it needs to be. From the inception of football through the 80s, a coach whispered the play to a WR who ran in the huddle and told the other players, it worked great.

Everything about state's football program looks Mickey Mouse at the moment. The coaching is atrocious. The recruiting is atrocious. The execution is atrocious. The talent level disparity is significant. Terrible situation. And, to top it off, the AD is underwhelming. Good luck, state peeps. Gonna suck for a while.

@9:04 p.m. Until MS State fans get serious about doing to their NIL fund, the recruiting is going to continue to be atrocious.

So sick of the constant and continual "crossed-arms" look. He's got to go.

9:04 is correct. Coaches sending in the plays via wide receivers or RBs would cure all this. There are only so many ways to call in plays. It doesn’t take long to figure out the signals. Same with pitches and steals in baseball.

Keenum should run for Congress.

Has anybody even seen the AD over the past year? Seems the only thing coming out of State, other than bad football, is Salter's mouth.

From an Alabama fan, that spot about Alabama was dead on.

The decision to hire Arnett was an "emotional" one and not a "business" one. As to the AD, not sure what Keenum was thinking.

State alum here, Selmon is conspicuously absent as is our football team's talent.
It is going to be a long, long hard road. Buckle up for Croom era 2.0.

On the bright side, tickets are easy to obtain.

Sid fits the perfect image that state is wanting to to exhibit. Both on and off the field

@11:47. Agreed. We had a few good years between 2009 and the present, but I don't see any of those in the near future.

I think they should try brining back the black jerseys.

Wish we could just go ahead, tear the bandaid off and fire this coach and staff. Doesn’t take an expert to see this ain’t workin and ain’t gonna work for state. Why put it off. We got a punter kicking 30 yard punts, Zero offense. Let the water girl finish coaching the season. She can at least hide the play calling or know when it’s been compromised.

@ the first 9:04: A "huddle," you say?

What is a huddle?

I have been watching college football for over a decade and I've never heard of, nor seen, this thing called a huddle! I may have heard it mentioned before, but just haven't seen it with my own 2 eyes.

Calls are sent from the booth via headsets to the sidelines. then calls are given to the players. unless the sidelines are yelling the calls onto the field, which they dont, there's no way to know the first letter of any play.

Gittens is full of it. Per Auburn's own media people he's not a reliable source

10:04 So you’ve never seen the backup qb’s signing plays from the sideline or people holding those big poster board signs with words, letters and images on them?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
