Get the Pep-Band warmed up, your best Ole Miss cap on and get ready to dismantle the Dores. It's game time. All the talk and smack is over. It's time to play the game.

Here are a few articles and tidbits floating around on game day.

The Ole Miss defense is the #3 thing to watch according to the Charlotte Observer. Here is what they say:

OLE MISS PASS DEFENSE: Rebels have allowed 673 yards through the air in two
games, face Vandy and skilled WR Earl Bennett today.

Parish Alford of the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal Predicts a Vandy win over Ole Miss. Come on, where is your loyalty? Here is a bit from the article:

Notes: Ole Miss has never won more than one September game under Ed Orgeron. ...
Vandy cornerback D.J. Moore has posted a pair of pass break-ups, a quarterback
hurry and has returned four kicks for a total 75 yards. ... Vanderbilt was
penalized for 50 yards against Alabama. ... The infractions wiped out key plays
that could have changed the outcome.Summing it up: “The key to their offense is
Earl Bennett. He is an exciting football player.” – Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron
Prediction: Vanderbilt, 28-25

OLE MISS AT VANDY — The Commodores never had much of a chance against
Alabama last week, getting dominated in the trenches on both sides of the ball.
Chris Nickson may not be able to play, and that will help the Rebels, but
because they’re the home team, go with the black and gold.Vandy by 4.

The Sun Herald has an article entitled "Rebs won't get fooled again".

So what's hot on the message boards?

There is some discussion on both Ole Miss boards that Palmer may not play today. This worries Rebel fans as he has been a bright spot in the otherwise dim defense.

Vandy fans are hoping that there are more Vandy fans than Ole Miss fans. Last week they said that there were more Bama fans than Vandy fans at the game. Most Vandy fans are predicting a win by 7-14 points. Bama fans are wishing Vandy luck and hoping that they beat Ole Miss.

Good Luck Rebels. My Prediction:
