Welcome to Ole Miss Houston. Please stay awhile. The Houston Nutt era opened today with a 41-24 thrashing of Memphis. The Rebel offense went wild for the first time since Eli. Snead's start was solid and will get better. Hopefully this bunch of Rebels will go bowling again for the first time AE!

Memphis fans share their thoughts
What are Memphis fans thinking about this Saturday's game? I stopped by a Memphis message board and asked the questions below. This year I received very few responses. Perhaps they are not as excited. Here is a link to last years blog.
(1)What do you guys think of our upcoming game this year?
No idea we have a lot of question marks at big positions I feel. QB and DB scares me.-GoTigersGo10
Looking forward to knowing that Sunday morning will be the most miserable experience in the Houston Nutt era for rebel fans - that walk to the Sunday Paper knowing the Tigers won.-griffin
It's always great to kick it off with a regional game and the games have been exciting the last 5 years.-Bill83
There are a LOT of questions for both teams in this year's matchup.-HLT2011
(2) What are your strengths and weaknesses this year?
Strength: WR by far! Weakness: DEFENSE-GoTigersGo10
Strength: Wide receivers, Offensive Line, RB (Miami 4 year Transfer) - QB - #7 ranked HS QB in the Nation and Defensive line.-griffin
Str- WR, DL Weakness- Secondary, Special teams-Bill83
Our most obvious strength is our unbelievably deep group of WR's. If Arkelon Hall can get the ball to them, we're going to light up the scoreboard every Saturday. Also, believe it or not, our defense should be much improved in 2008. I truly feel that DC Tim Walton will get things right on the defensive side of the ball in a hurry. As for weaknesses, our offensive line is getting painfully thin.-HLT2011
(3) What do you think about the Ole Mis v. Memphis series?
I like it cause I feel we are basically on the same level now. You see how I say now. I know Ole Miss owns the series but to say either team has dominated recently is just ridiculous. -GoTigersGo10
A bit stale but good to have - have grown to know we are now as good so the excitement to play the rebels is not there anymore - ready to move on to a greater challenge-griffin
It's very good for the region to help sell tickets @ both stadia and for fans to travel to but after all the drivel from your AD, I would just as soon play a Big East team (hoping for a future rival).-Bill83
It'd be a lot of fun if it weren't for Rebel fans. When it comes to the actual games, they're usually extremely competitive and always fun to watch. But dealing with Rebel fans, especially in Oxford, makes it just about impossible to enjoy the day.-HLT2011
(4) What do you think about Houston Nutt being the HC at Ole Miss?
Best move Ole Miss has made since I've been alive.-GoTigersGo10
Much better than what the rebels had - but the reality is that Mississippi had to hire someone who failed at a middle tier SEC school - who was about to get fired. Top tier SEC teams would never even consider such an option.-griffin
Hey, it beats Fred Flintstone.-Bill83
Like another poster said, this was easily the best move that the Rebels have made in my lifetime. Great hire.-HLT2011
(5) What will be the final score on Sat?
Close as usual...hopefully Tigers 31- REBS 28-GoTigersGo10
Memphis 27 Mississippi 24-griffin
With three Rebel D-Linemen out and Snead's first game I expect another nailbiter. 24-21.-Bill83
Very, VERY tough to call this year, but I'll say 24-20 Tigers.HLT2011

Rebs win: 1-0
I have a headache. Watching a full game on my computer was not easy! Watching us blow a big lead was even more difficult. However, I'm not worried.
First games are usually error filled. We are Memphis's biggest game of the year and they get fired up for our game. It's time to put this game behind us and move on to Missouri.
I watched the Mizzou, Illinois game briefly. There is no doubt that Missouri has a talented offense and will give us fits. However, I wasn't impressed with the defense. They lost some key players and they let Illinois put up 34 points. I think it will be a much closer game than last year.
On a side note, I'm a big App State fan now. My Michigan fan neighbors are in pain tonight!
Hotty Toddy, Bring on Mizzou!

Ole Miss v. Memphis will be on CSS tomorrow at 2:30 CST. Since CSS is very limited, I wanted to let everyone know that the game can be viewed on CSTV.com.
Are you Ready?
It's Football Eve. We've been waiting a long time for tomorrow and it's almost here. The possibilities, the what if's, the chest pounding and the expectations will soon be replaced with reality.

Ole Miss v. Memphis: Tiger fans weigh in.
Update: I stopped by a couple of Memphis message boards to ask questions about Ole Miss and thoughts about the upcoming game. I've added comments from the MemphisTigers.org messageboard.
Here is what I found:
(1) What do you guys think of our upcoming game this year?
"Should be as competitive as the last three, with hopefully more points." --BrianJ
"More so I am looking to see if the 2-10 season was a fluke. Lots of challenges occured for Memphis last year that took away from possibly a good season. There were so many bad things that happened that its tough to really know where we stood." --griffin
"Memphis 26-Mississippi 18" --memphismojo
"a typical game between the 2. one or two plays tilt the outcome one way or the other" --tigerjeb
"The usual battle between Memphis and Ole Miss. The days of Rebel blowouts are long gone in this series. As mentioned, it will come down to one or two plays."--HornLakeTiger
"I love the game against Mississippi. Love the game against Tennessee. However, Mississippi is a BCS opponent on the schedule that Memphis always has a real chance of beating. I don't really get that feeling about Tennessee. " --Tigers2B1
"It will be a pick 'em game" --Bill83
"I ALWAYS look forward to this game" --Tigerjedi
"it'll either be close or you'll run through us like butter. i can't decide which, i want to believe the hype about our improved defense, but i have to see it first." --Dylan
(2) What are your strengths and weaknesses this year?
"Strengths - offensive line and defensive lines, experience at QB and RB.Weaknesses - Unless they make dramatic improvements from last year - linebackers. And maybe special teams." --Brian J
"Without question - our biggest strength is our punter and possibly the wide receiver position, closely followed by the offensive line. After that it is as big a question as the 2 - 10 season. The QB, RB, DL, LB, DB are all a big question mark at this time." --griffin
"DLine and WRsPunter and ?s in secondary." --memphismojo
"strengths are depth and experience. weakness is at linebacker position" --tigerjeb
"Strength is plenty of on field experience to go around. Weakness may come down to attempting to get a load of new coaches to gel together." --HornLakeTiger
"This year and every year -- our strength is Tommy West. Not just coaching - but he's a great PR guy for the school. Just hard to notice West sometimes because of the national shadow cast by John Calipari. "Our weakness is not playing in a BCS conference - this year and every year."
--Tigers2B1
"O-Line and D-line are the strengths, I'll believe the secondary can actually turn and look at a ball in the air when I see it." --Bill83
"Strengths: QB, RB, WR (the DL and OL could be) :) Weakness: Punter is unknown, I am not sure about our DB's and our LB will be good, but how good remains a big question IMO (I guess that is everything, sorry :). " --Tigerjedi
"strengths are receivers and experience. Weakness is that experience went 2-10 last year." --Dylan
(3)What do you think about the Ole Mis v. Memphis series?
"How close the schools are and how much it excites each fan base." --BrianJ
"Grew up with it and loved it - keeps the summer exciting more so than opening up with any other team. The fact that there is history there as the first game, provides a regular path to have some good hearted talk with some rebel fans. Its not as big of a deal anymore to me as it was in the late seventies and early eighties since we won two in a row with Tommy's teams and then were close in the following two - I guess because there was always a point to prove even if its for only one game a season. Probably similar to missisippi and LSU. We've opened with Miss St. before and while I looked forward to the game, the overall excitment was not there. Just fun to know there is a possobility to knock off mississippi and to know how that "ruins" so many Sunday mornings for rebels fans....you know..the walk to get the paper at the end of the drive feeling...yeah, that probably puts it best...knowing that walk to the paper on Sunday morning is potentially going to be painful is worth the 2 wins every ten years. Sick I know." --griffin
"Should open every season." --memphismojo
"should be played as the season opener. but greed is a powerful motivator" --tigerjeb
"I like the series. We won't die if it's discontinued, but I enjoy it. It's a great season opener, whether Rebel fans admit it or not."--HornLakeTiger
"Twilight. The tossing and turning and the smell of death is already in the air. I think that the series in both football and basketball are in their last days." --Tigers2B1
"i like it, have a lot of Ole Miss friends, like the fact that it's the first game of the season. Our game last year gave both fan bases a glimmer of hope until we both played the next week, and both looked bad." --Dylan"I love it, but if they want to end it, we will survive." --Tigerjedi
"I hope it nevers ends but my vote doesn't count." --Bill83
(4) What do you respect most about Ole Miss?
"Traditions in The Grove." --BrianJ
"The fact that they have always been there in the SEC to schedule Memphis at a time when no one would and the fact that when recently when our football facilities burned down about 5 or so years ago, Ole Miss was the first to offer assistance, equipment. Dont forget those types of things. Also, cant forget about this...the women. While they cant hold a candle to the University of Memphis/Mempis St. women, they come in a close second. They always seemed to have a special place in their hearts for Memphis boys for some reason, pity or not - they made Saturday nights more enjoyable for some of us." --griffin
"Chucky Mullins" --memphismojo
"loyalty of its alumni" --tigerjeb
"I like the feeling of old school, traditional southern football around campus on a gameday Saturday." --HornLakeTiger
"Women. That and that they were able to pull themselves out of the attitudes of 1950s and early 60s --- by no later than the 1990s --Tigers2B1
"William Faulkner" --Bill83
"Some of the fans are ok and the grove is cool. The chicks are HOT!!!" --Tigerjedi
"fanbase and alumni, and the fact that a huge majority of the fanbase is alumni." --Dylan
(5) What do you dislike most about Ole Miss?
"Really only one thing - to still see the rebel flag from fans. All of the smack talk etc. is at all schools to some extent...but seeing a flag that you know bothers other folks just sends the wrong message no matter how you position it. Outside of that, no problem what so ever...pretty campus, easy drive, good food, fun games....great way to start the season off - even if we are only going to win 2 out of every ten - still worth a summer of suspense." --griffin
"Pete Boone" --memphismojo
"the total unjustifiable arrogance " --tigerjeb
"As mentioned by jeb, unjustified arrogance. That is the main reason why I'm looking forward to playing State in a couple of years. Their fans are much easier to get along with. "
--HornLakeTiger
"They make fun of our mullets --- or my mullet. Some of the fans can take it a little too far, especially when the liquor flows." --Tigers2B1
"when they are around memphis fans, they act like Alabama fans. When they are around Alabama fans, they act like the red headed stepchild." --Dylan
"It would be easier to ask what I like about Ole Miss, but if I had to pick one dislike, I would say the drunk fans. Rednecks get REALLY mad when they lose. " --Tigerjedi
"Their grads and undergrads really believe an Ole Miss diploma makes them more sophisticated as compared to UofM. Harvard of the South? try Vandy, Rice, Rhodes , Sewanee or Emory." --Bill83
