The Nick Saban 24-hour rule was ignored by most Alabama football fans this week. Crimson Tide conversations were dominated by the LSU loss and the CFB Playoff. No such indulgence was tolerated from the Tide staff and players. Inside the massive machine that is Alabama football, it has been business as usual in Tuscaloosa.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs are down this season. Their record is 4-5. A 6-6 finish is what most Bulldogs’ fans are hoping will happen, requiring an Egg Bowl win over Ole Miss. An upset of the Alabama Crimson Tide would be huge but some MSU fans would trade it for a guaranteed win over Ole Miss.
