Congratulations To Bo Wallace and Ole Miss In Their Upset Victory Over Alabama

Number  11  OLE MISS 23       Number 3  ALABAMA   17
With shades of Giles County High School football championships dancing in my head, Bo Wallace again has put the skeptics in an uncomfortable position. 
Three touchdowns and second in rushing.
Even with the controversial missed call ending the first half, when Alabama defensive back Cyrus Jones nearly jerked the head off I'Tavius Mathers with a blatant face mask grab, Ole Miss could not be denied and Bo Wallace could not be contained. 
Ok, maybe he isn't the best quarterback in the game but he has proven to be a high sight better than his critics have tried to label him. He not only threw for three touchdowns 18 of 31 for 251 yards he did it with an amazing amount of poise, guts and savvy with some mighty big throws on third down.

It's easy to call someone a creep when you don't have the facts. I am purposefully not saying what I KNOW, because I am not a creep.

You know 10:47, you must have a great, gaping hole in the part of you that matters. Is it really that difficult to comment on the teams rather than take a shot at others? I truly pity you and anyone who has the misfortune of being in your company. Grow up, why don't you.

The foregoing posts are the exact reason this blog should not exist. It is nothing but a cheap forum for people to anonymously espouse their jealousy, bigotry, paranoia, and ignorance.

Free speech? Give me a break; it is free slander.

Why not let this thread be the last of this sorry lot.

How in the world did a report about a football game and a compliment about a player's accomplishment in that game turn into a controversy?

Allen, you should know by now that you could start a topic regarding the beauty of the day and someone would find something wrong with it. Seems to me it's their problem and not yours. Keep up the good work; I enjoy learning things on here that I might not hear about otherwise.
Now notice mine was a fairly non-controversial comment but I assure you someone will find something personal to say about it or me. I guess it's just human nature to try and make others as miserable as you are. Anyway, have a great day.

Bo is Awesome but where would he be today if he hadn't had Zack Bailey and his receivers at Ole Miss. I wonder if he'll finish college or go with the pros. Peyton Manning had the choice and stayed with college. I hope Bo will do the same thing. And what about Bo's body guard, Jerry Cobb. He's got his back.

I agree 8:29. The support the QB gets means everything. I also agree that Bo should finish college. He needs to get his education because one never knows when an injury may end his career. Good post.

I looked back over my posts and strangely enough I couldn't find where I said I used this blog for sporting news. Perhaps that was a presumption on your part. I have ESPN 1 and 2. I also have Fox Sports and the NFL Sunday Ticket. Stop by sometime and we'll watch some games. You have to bring the beer but I'll furnish the reefer. Sound good?

Congratulations Bo. You did a good job. I don't want to disparage Ole Miss Like Allen disparaged Alabama. All in all most penalties offset, and the facemask, which should have been a penalty, was overlooked. Then again so was the kick that was done on a player down with a broken ankle. That was low down. Kudos to Ole Miss for suspending the player for a half game. The penalty was not an Ole Miss penalty but a penalty on one player. Good luck to ole miss in the next few games, they have some tough opponents.

This is the question that I posted on 20 Oct at 8:17. It was more a rhetorical question than one seeking a specific answer.
