Happy New Year Rebels

May 09 bring more success!

One more day

One more day at work and then off to Dallas I go. I'll be staying in enemy territory at the Anatole. My dad is flying over from AL to meet me. I ordered a blue Ole Miss wind breaker. I'm hoping it will arrive today. It seems all my Ole Miss clothes are red.

Well off to bed for me.

One more day........

Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas!

I hope all you Rebs got all you wanted!

When it rains....

Well you know the rest.

Chris Warren is out for the season with a torn ACL. We wish him a speedy recovery!

Ole Miss: We stand by Andy Kennedy

The University issued the following statement:

In response to the charges made against Ole Miss Head Basketball Coach Andy Kennedy in Cincinnati, Ohio, Thursday morning, Athletics Director Pete Boone and Coach Kennedy issued the following statements:

"Clearly, this is an unfortunate situation. However, after a full discussion with Andy Kennedy and his staff, who were with him, I have the utmost confidence that once all the facts are known, Coach Kennedy will be cleared of all charges," said Boone, who is with the team.

"I regret this situation," Kennedy said. "The focus should be on the players and the game, not on me. I vehemently deny the charges levied against me, and am completely confident that I will be fully exonerated of all charges."

Coach Kennedy will continue his coaching duties.

Kennedy pleads not guilty

Kennedy is being represented by former Hamilton County Prosecutor Mike Allen. He is well thought of in this area.

Update on AK

Paul Daugherty, Cincinnati reporter said when asked about the AK report:

Yep, actually talked to Someone Who Would Know just a few minutes ago. He said the cabbie dropped a racial slur on a member of Andy's party as they got into the cab... AK and his four companions, all his assistant coaches, got out of the cab and hailed another. As they were on their way back to their hotel, cops pulled them over and charged AK with assault.

My source said AK assaulted no one and has 4 eyewitnesses to swear to it.
Given what I know of Kennedy from having covered him as a head coach and as Huggins' top assistant, I believe this account.

Of course, I could never believe a guy like C. Blount could be charged with possessing 29 lbs. of marijuana, either.

We'll see.

Hog Wash!

The media here in Cincinnati doesn't believe the allegations against AK and neither do I.

Once the truth is out, AK will be vindicated.

While this is all being worked out, take time to read the comments to the Cincinnati Enquirer's story.
