What's up? Thanks for tuning in to another edition of the Rippey Rides podcast. I'm Brian Scott Rippey.

On the other end of the line, as he always is on Sunday, Weldon Rodenberg. We'll talk a little bit of

Ole Misses' 31 to 17 win over Vanderbilt. Get to some coaching search stuff. And then, of course,

some egg bowl and big picture thoughts on this season. Weird game. I don't know how much you can actually take away from it. I think that was my probably biggest takeaway was I don't know how much you can take away from this at all. But we'll get into some of that stuff. What's up, dude? You were at a concert yesterday, chilling in Houston this weekend. Good weekend, it sounds like. Yeah, no big

plans this weekend. We went to a concert last night during the second half, so I didn't get to

catch too much of that. I watched a little bit of this morning, but like you said, there's not a whole

lot to take away from this game of importance for the season and everything.

They won, move on to the next one. So not a big deal at all.

That was the main thing. Like it was clear they came out really well. They scored 10 points

on their first two drives started pretty fast. The offense looked pretty good. But you could

tell about midway through the

second quarter that it might be a little bit of a slog. They were playing sloppy. I don't know

how much you, it has to factor into it. Tom. It wasn't a great crowd. Vanderbilt clearly was playing

with more energy. When they scored the touchdown to make it 31.17, you would have thought

they just, I mean, like hit a Hail Mary to send a game into overtime or something. I mean, they were hyped up. And I don't even mean that as like a dig at Vanderbilt. They've had a brutal year, but they were in a game that they probably weren't supposed to be. And they never really threatened the win. But it just the whole thing kind of felt flat. I don't know what else like from a,

not even schematic, but just like on field what you watched yesterday, how much of that is

indicative of anything. I was a little concerned they did suck in the red zone again and they

didn't run the ball well again. Do you put anything into the fact that they didn't run all over

Vanderbilt? Yeah. I mean, I guess the only real

takeaway from this game was just the continued struggles in the second halves of games. I mean,

A&M was a struggle, even LSU for a little bit, Auburn. I mean, the past few games, I mean,

they've been scoring like single digit points in the second half, and that continued this game.
