When Officials Attack

Picture looks worse than it really was...but still! Read the story here!

Ole Miss 31 :: Florida 30

I just witnessed the Ole Miss Rebels beat Florida in the swamp 31-30.  This is what I learned today!

1.  Everyday is a new day.
Ole Miss should be 4-0 but lost a few at the end, however they know that Saturday is always coming around the corner.

2.  Every player is valuable.
Jevon Snead had a ton of time in the pocket because the O Line was doing their job.  The defense was swarming all day.  The punter was placing the ball consistently in the right place. Everyone was doing their individual job.

3.  Finishing is paramount.
The game is not just 60 minutes but 60 minutes that are made up of 15 second intervals. Finishing every interval results in a win!

4.  Finding Momentum is everything.
When a 4th quarter PAT was blocked by Ole Miss, the team turned it up a notch and everyone put all their chips in.

5. Never lose composure.
Houston Nutt never lost his head....even in the midst of poor officiating and big plays from the Gators. He always remained calm even when it looked like the Rebels were going to give the game away.

If I had Tommy Bowden's email, I would send these to him.  Motivating him is a mystery...no one has figured it out yet.

Dude...where's my football?

I thought this was a prank....but it's not.  Read here where Ashton Kutcher now is an assistant coach for a HIgh School football team.

I guess it's nice to see a celebrity wanting to be a "normal" person. 

The only thing not normal will be all of the paparazzi hanging over the fence at every football practice.

Chad Ocho Cinco

Chad Johnson is now Chad Ocho Cinco.  It sort of rolls off of your tongue, doesn't it? Read about the name change here.

I wonder if his parents are happy he tossed his namesake for his jersey number in Espanol?

Peyton for President!

With College football starting next Thursday, my fantasy football draft the same night, why not www.makefootballanolympicsport.com!

Favre Says Good-Bye

After 17 seasons in the NFL and a reputation that will probably never be challenged, the best quarterback of All-Time says Good-Bye to the NFL.

The MANning

Eventhough I wanted to see Brett Favre win a SuperBowl, I will have to say that I am proud to see Eli go.

2 reasons why Eli Manning deserves to go to Super Bowl 42:

1. He's an Ole Miss Rebel
2. He's finally coming out of Peyton's shadow.

Gotta Love Rivalry

You gotta love a good rival. Thanks to the Addison's for posting such a pic. Whether your a Clemson fan or a GameCock fan....you can find this funny.

Right? Come on....you know it's funny. If you don't get it, just ask a Clemson fan to explain.

Your Hired!

It was a great day to be an Ole Miss fan. Just hours after Houston Nutt resigned from Arkansas, he was hired by the Rebels.

He knows SEC football, he can win the big games, he is comfortable wearing a shade of red and he has character....it's a no-brainer.

You're Fired!

College Football coaches have the toughest job in the world. When your only measurement of success is putting a W on the board, your neck is on the line every year.

Well....with that being said, espn.com announces that Ole Miss firesCoach O .
