With his experience and talent, I would say a great deal. Let's hope he sticks to the straight and narrow.<br />
<br />
(2) Top 10 recruiting class- Who said Nutt can't recruit. Let's see how we finish in Feb.<br />
<br />
(3) How will we finish? This might depend on how we start. If we are to finish with a decent record we have to have a good September.<br />
<br />
(4) What will our new mascot be? Lions, tigers and bears... oh my.. well we know it won't be a tiger. Those are a dime a dozen. Not sure a hotty and a toddy will work either..<br />

After an odd start to 2009, the Rebels real season begins on Thursday against South Carolina. This will be a true test of where we are. <br />
South Carolina used several turnovers in 2008 to barely defeat the Rebels. The SI jinx. Many would argue this should be a revenge game for Ole Miss. I think Nutt should sell it that way. <br />
<br />
I am a bit uneasy about the game Thursday night. First I have no feel for this team. After the first two games, both huge blowouts, I can't say if I think we look better than the end of last year. The Rebels seemed lackluster in both wins. Was it the flu? The week off in the early season? Who knows. Second, it's an SEC game. Anything can happen when two SEC teams meet. Third, South Carolina will be pumped to play a top 5 team. Finally, South Carolina always packs their stadium and it can get loud.

The team seemed fired up and we scored 10 points early. Then it seemed the spirit of the team evaporated until the 4th quarter. Normally, Ole Miss fans would be happy with a 31 point win. However, this time there are some folks who felt we should have done better. Here are my thoughts on the game:<br />
<br />
(1) This is the game for Memphis. One could argue that this is more important to Memphis than any bowl game they play in. A win over Ole Miss in any season is huge but with the Rebels being in the top 10 a win for Memphis would have been the biggest win in school history. Bottom line, they were up for the game. For us, it's a game we should win. So it's hard for the team to be hyped for the game. <br />
<br />
(2) First game of the season. It seems most teams play sloppy the first game of the season. <br />
<br />
(3) We finished. The most important thing for me this weekend is how we finished. We pored it on in the 4th. This will be important for the rest of the season. <br />
<br />
(4) Our D only game up one drive the entire game. <br />
<br />
(5) Jevan was very mobile in the pocket and eluded several possible sacks.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908028018099575080.post-70653134854137820222009-09-06T06:11:00.000-04:002009-09-06T06:11:10.912-04:00Gameday:MemphisIt's finally here.

Miami of Ohio, which is being played here in Cincinnati but it isn't exciting enough for me to drag myself to the game. (especially with all the other games going on). I'll flip over occasionally to the UT game. Won't be much of a game but I want to see how they look. Then it's on to the Georgia game. I'll flip to the MSU game during commercials. Finally to cap it off I'll catch the Alabama, VTU game. Oh and I guess I'll catch some of the LSU game.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908028018099575080.post-84197949556129666552009-08-31T03:25:00.003-04:002009-08-31T03:28:54.939-04:002009 season begins: Week 1 Game WeekIt's finally here.

Everyone has a shot at their conference championship. Soon their will be grunts, screams and tears. Week by week teams will fall by the wayside. Some will get back up and make it a season to remember. Others might never fall and finish on top of the world.<br /><br />It remains to be seen how the Rebels will fare this year.

The new ESPN regional games, replacing the Raycom(JP) games will be shown in markets such as New York, Phoenix and St. Louis. <br />In the past the Rebels have had the majority of their games on the regional SEC broadcast. This year the Rebels are likely to have fewer games on regional TV and more on on national TV. (due to the high ranking). However, anytime the rebels play in places such as TX and NY it can only help in recruiting.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908028018099575080.post-51309790918547935422009-06-06T01:12:00.003-04:002009-06-06T01:16:11.262-04:00The year of the Rebel?Will the next 12 months be the year of the Rebel? Baseball is one game away from the CWS and all the preseason magazines have the football team ranked in the top 10 with a possible BCS bowl game. Basketball looks strong.

This may be a stretch but I received an email from the official Rebel shop. The email was marketing the new Rebel Schedule Tee. On the Tee it has a Rebel Mascot and the mascots of the 12 universities that we play this year. This, if I am not mistaken, is the first time that Ole Miss has used a mascot since Col Reb.<br /><br />Here is a picture of tee:</div><br /><div></div>Any thoughts?<br /><br /><br /><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908028018099575080.post-68406641882863216162009-04-02T00:22:00.003-04:002009-04-02T00:28:39.356-04:00A note from the past<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uRdcLzlXGac/SdQ-3IxkG5I/AAAAAAAABuE/DospMqKgurs/s1600-h/img075.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 258px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uRdcLzlXGac/SdQ-3IxkG5I/AAAAAAAABuE/DospMqKgurs/s400/img075.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319946176800496530" border="0" /></a><br />Recently I started scanning in old pictures and mementos to upload in a safe and secure place on the internet. You know, in case anything happens to the real ones.<br /><br />I came across a letter from 1984 from an Ole Miss administrative person. I was 11 in 1984. As an assignment for a class I had to write a letter. I don't remember why. I decided to write to Ole Miss. I don't have the letter I wrote but I remember saying something to the effect that "I was so upset when we lost the game that I wanted to cry but instead I hit my sister." This letter was the response from Ole Miss.<br /><br />I should look this guy up to see what he is doing now.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908028018099575080.post-90627187624832207412009-01-23T02:07:00.002-05:002009-01-23T17:49:25.258-05:00Scratch off a few more teamsHere are teams that need to schedule one or two out of conference games for 2009.<br /><br />Update- A source inside Kansas State Athletics says that KSU will not play Ole Miss.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uRdcLzlXGac/SXls5MkYNGI/AAAAAAAABts/lwGRv6i27jE/s1600-h/ooc.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 161px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uRdcLzlXGac/SXls5MkYNGI/AAAAAAAABts/lwGRv6i27jE/s400/ooc.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294382566832878690" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908028018099575080.post-66042029012796186602009-01-17T15:51:00.004-05:002009-01-17T15:58:56.512-05:00SEC West, the Big XII of 2009?I was looking through my new SI when I found SI's top 10 for 2009. I was excited that Ole Miss is #6 and ranked the highest in my lifetime. But then I realized that the SEC owns almost 50% of the SI's Top 10. There are four SEC teams in the top 10. (Florida, Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU) What's even more amazing is that the SEC West has three of the four SEC teams in the Top 10. Is there another division or even conference that can match up with the SEC West?<br /><br />We all know the hype around the Big XII South this year. The hype stopped when the Big XII South went 1-3 in post season. Everyone assumed the Big XII South was the best division in college football. Of course they were wrong. Let's up this time the pundits have it right!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908028018099575080.post-80962627648784333362009-01-15T19:56:00.002-05:002009-01-15T20:00:51.679-05:00What's next?Here are a few things to get you through the football slow time:<br /><br />(1) Basketball- Yes we lost three outstanding players to injury but we did beat Arkansas.<br /><br />(2) Baseball- Baseball is just around the corner. This should be an exciting year with an upgraded stadium.<br /><br />(3) Recruiting- How high will Ole Miss move up in rankings to finish off the season.<br /><br />(4) Super Bowl- No Manning but watch just for fun.<br /><br />(5) 2009 schedule- A 12th game with a possible big BCS opponent in the works. Should be interesting who we playUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908028018099575080.post-57907960223884857742009-01-09T21:26:00.004-05:002009-01-11T14:38:35.156-05:00Early 2009 predictionsIt's already started.
