Ole Miss' 2014 was a weird one. The Rebs went to the heights of No.3 in the nation after winning their first seven games in a row, including an incredible field-invading, Katy Perry-attending, classic against Alabama. They looked solid. Bo Wallace looked ready to play. Everything was going their way. And then they walked into Tiger Stadium, LSU. There nothing went their way. They lost 10-7 that was classically bad, and then lost a home heartbreaker against Auburn 35-31, in which star WR Laquon Treadwell broke his leg and had us all reaching for the sick bucket. A 30-0 loss to Arkansas and a bowl Read more [...]

Ole Miss has gained the commitment of three-star running back D’Vaughn Pennamon.

Pennamon, from Manvel High School in Manvel, TX, is 5 ft 11 and 199lbs. He also plays wide receiver.

The player was also heavily recruited by Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Tennessee, but also had offers from Georgia, Missouri, and Florida.

 

On a weekend that the No.2 team in the nation go and play the No. 3 team, and the team which beat Alabama goes down to a cauldron of noise to play in butt-hurt Texas, it's funny how one incident can steal a spotlight for another team completely. And that incident and spotlight was stolen by Georgia, which has suspended their Heisman Trophy candidate/frontrunner indefinitely because he was photographed signing autographs (apparently he accepted $400 to do it in the spring). It's strange, because there's also spotlight on Florida, which suspended QB Treon Harris while it investigates an accusation Read more [...]

Ole Miss has always been a pretty interesting school. It's got one of the best tailgates in College Football (although opposing fans insist The Grove's like a cocktail party you're not invited to). It's got 'The Blind Side'. It's got previous history we don't want to go into. And right now, it's got energy with head coach Hugh Freeze recruiting like a God. But don't get us wrong - if Freeze loses two straight to Dan Mullen and Mississippi State, he won't be popular in Oxford... LAST SEASON The end-of-season, 2-overtime loss to Mississippi State stands out as probably the worst loss of Ole Read more [...]

Hugh Freeze came into the SEC Media Days a pretty happy guy. His Ole Miss team was coming off monster wins (for the program, at least) against Texas and LSU, as well as a bowl victory. He's recruited strongly - even in the face of Alabama. He started off his press conference with a somewhat sharp word for another SEC rival: "One good thing about Media Days is Coach Spurrier isn't talking about Ole Miss as much, wanting to play us every year.  Maybe that's a good thing", referencing Spurrier's comments from 2012 about schedules where he said: "If I made the schedule, Georgia'd be playing LSU Read more [...]

2012 was an incredible season for Ole Miss, in the fact that they beat Mississippi State, won their bowl game, and they had a great recruiting class. Basically, that's what you really need for Ole Miss fans, right? But what about 2013? Well, the 'recruiting class of the ages' - replete with defensive end Robert Nkemdiche (who - if you believe the reviews - is the second coming of Jadeveon Clowney) - has now touched down in Oxford, and will be strapping pads on and hitting people this September. Hugh Freeze's team will be out to beat Dan Mullen's Mississippi State again, and maybe score an upset Read more [...]

Last Saturday saw College Gameday once again decide to visit SEC Country, where the gang hit up Knoxville, TN for the Tennessee-Florida Game. Tons more exicitement than there had been in years for fans of Big Orange....same old result against those Gators. Anyway, this week, Gameday's off to travel to the University of Florida's little brother in Tallahassee, where the mighty 'Noles will stick their flaming spear in the University of South Carolina's little brother and make them enjoy it. Anyway, this one should be exciting. While in the SEC, we've got the 'Tiger War' between LSU and Auburn Read more [...]

In the days of Eli Manning it might have been a truism to talk about the Rebels and say: “Ole Miss by damn!”, but last season, there was only one ‘damn’ to describe this team: Damn awful. But can they improve and at least break their SEC losing streak – and give hope to Rebels fans who haven’t had a decent team since 2009? LAST SEASON Ole Miss went 2-10 last year under Houston Nutt, who was summarily given his marching orders a month before the season ended - a move that sparked some outrage. And it was no bad thing. The Rebels didn’t lose many close heartbreakers – they Read more [...]

Ole Miss has beaten some of its biggest SEC rivals to three-star QB Ryan Buchanan, the Jackson Clarion-Ledger has reported. The Jackson, Mississippi QB was recruited by the Rebels, Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Vanderbilt and cross-state rival Mississippi State, as well as Big XII giant Oklahoma State amongst others. Buchanan told the paper: "I am 100% solid on it. I prayed about it. Two weeks ago I wasn't sure about where I was going. But I'm at peace about it now. I'm fully confident and not changing my decision." He added: "I love Coach (Hugh) Freeze and I love the vision that Read more [...]
