SEC Power Poll Ballot: Week Twelve

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:45:08 -0500

The selfsame seasonal illness that kept me home from last Saturday’s game also caused me to leave work early and hit the hay sooner than usual on Monday, so I am a bit behind in bringing you my SEC Power Poll ballot, which already has been made the subject of certain challenges. It is therefore with a modicum of trepidation that I bring you the twelve teams of the Southeastern Conference, in order from best to worst: 1. Alabama Crimson Tide (11-0): The Red Elephants made short work...

The Señior's Top 25: Week 13

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:29:00 -0500

Welcome back, Ole Miss. The team that opened the season with national championship aspirations, only to watch its seasons fall apart, has returned to the Top 25.With a second straight win over LSU, the Rebels are riding a three-game winning streak. Nothing like thriving without the specter of pressure. Ole Miss didn't seem to truly turn it on until we completly forgot about it. In the last four games, Dexter McCluster has had at least 123 yards rushing, including the 282-yard performance ...

Pregame Cram: Is LSU in for another McCluster Bomb in Oxford?

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:18:33 -0500

Inside the day's key match-ups. No offensive player in America -- not C.J. Spiller, not Toby Gerhart, not even Mark Ingram -- is quite as searing hot over the last month as Ole Miss tailback, Wildcat back, receiver, occasional return man, chef, art critic, stunt pilot and all-purpose bon vivant Dexter McCluster, who Rebel coaches finally set free to explode for 260 total yards against Arkansas, 203 against Auburn and record-breaking, 324-yard, four-touchdown display last week against Ten...

Guest Blogger: Juco All-American Answers Five Questions

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:22:35 -0500

Let's all welcome JUCO All-American from the Ole Miss blog, Red Cup Rebellion. We've had some making fun of RCR this season, but we put the knives away before the game to ask each other five questions on the game. Go visit RCR and see my answers to their questions as well. Come back and call me a moron. OK, we all know Dexter McCluster is awesome. So why has Brandon Bolden gotten more rushing attempts (barely, but still, what's up with that)? U...

3 questions with ... radio analyst and former Ole Miss guard Keith Carter

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:37:27 -0500

Ryan Fagan catches up with Keith Carter, the former All-SEC guard at Ole Miss and current radio analyst for the Rebels. Q: How impressive was Terrico White last year, stepping in when Chris Warren went down with the ACL injury? A: Terrico, we've been hearing about how explosive he was and what type of player he was going to be, and he was just kind of waiting to break out of that shell. Everybody around the program was pretty worried because Chris controlled the ball so much, and ...

New Carolina hands Ole Miss a reality check

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:34:47 -0500

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Scratch Mississippi from the national championship picture. Don't worry about even bringing up Jevan Snead's name when the conversation shifts to Heisman hopefuls. And, while you're at it, forget about the Rebels holding off Alabama, LSU and Auburn in the race for the SEC West title. South Carolina's 16-10 victory against the No. 4 Rebels taught us that Ole Miss was vastly overrated coming into this season. The Gamecocks' defense bullied the Ole M...

These Are the Games: 'Bama just in time Rebels' rubber match

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:26:18 -0500

Defining the most interesting matchups of the season, as part of the Doc's SEC Week. The rest of the nation can brace itself now, because Oct. 10 is going to belong to our future SEC overlords noon to night-- Georgia will be at Tennessee that morning and Florida at LSU in one of the season's obvious blockbusters that evening, with no earth-shaking game in other conference -- but no team anywhere will have a more far-reaching stake in that date than Ole Miss. The Rebels get Alabama in...

Where in the Top 25 Should the Ole Miss Rebels Be . . . and Should They Be Far From Georgia Tech?

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 23:15:08 -0500

August is upon us, which means it’s time for Brian to cull the BlogPoll (I managed to avoid getting booted out this year? whew!) and the coaches to release their preseason rankings. Naturally, I am already in full football mode, so I have been contemplating my initial top 25 for a while now. In that vein, I would like to share a few thoughts on the Mississippi Rebels from regular Dawg Sports reader, Ole Miss alumnus, and my brother-in-law, rebelcraig, who wrote the following to me in a...

by Ray HollomanFiled under: Mississippi, SECJevan Snead refuses to get caught up in the hype churning around the Ole Miss Rebels. The late-season success by the Rebels in 2008 is still the talk of college football as summer approaches. They have gone from homely doormat to a sexy pick for the Top 10. Snead, a junior quarterback, also continues to attract national attention. He was recently named the 20th-best player in college football by The Sporting News and his name has started to appear o...
