Remedial Rebel Roundup - JUCO Edition

SEC Bloggers rank Basketball Rebs 2nd in the SEC | Garnet and Black Attack
Yes, we did have a vote; however, we put the Rebels third. I guess we're just not as optimistic as some people who aren't accustomed to the ways of the Ole Miss Rebels. Our favorite explanation that was left out: "Tennessee - There's nothing more intimidating than defending a player that might be packing heat. Just ask Washington Wizards opponents."

What Will The Rebels Do Without Jevan Snead? | Clarion Ledger
EotC David Brandt talks a little bit about some of our other options at quarterback. If you didn't read my Thursday question post yesterday, do. roughly one minute before I published, Jevan declared for the draft, but it postulates that perhaps Nathan Stanley being our starting QB isn't such a bad thing.

Kansas holds top spot in Power Rankings; BYU cracks top 10 - Luke Winn - SI.com
We're ranked 11 in cnn's power poll.

"It can be difficult to get folks to care about hoops in the SEC West. Example: An Ole Miss beat writer for the Clarion Ledger posts a blog entry analyzing Rebels guard Chris Warren's chances of breaking the school's all-time scoring record. Three readers leave comments. The first comment is a link to a story about Tommy Tuberville's candidacy for the Texas Tech football job; the second (amazingly!) is about Warren and game tempo; and the third is about a three-star running back recruit committing to play for the Rebs' football team. Folks, you've got a better team on the hardwood in Oxford than you do on the gridiron ... might be time to pay attention."

I agree.

Alabama voted the unanimous No. 1 in AP poll - ESPN
OM Ranked 20 in final poll. That's probably a smidge too high, but whatever. It looks good to recruits. Also, in case you didn't know, recruiting actually means something for the next month. Also, this is the first time we've been ranked in both the preseason and postseason polls since 1960-something. Oh yeah, congratulations [SEC School]!

Expectations should be pretty low for next year's team.

You know what that means. We are gonna be really good because Houston Nutt is our coach! He won’t have any hype or pressure causing him to choke and underperform.

For the most part, I'm fairly satisfied. We finished 20th and 21st in the AP and Coaches.

IF is a big fucking word and If we had not screwed the pooch in the Egg Bowl, think we’re right where we ‘should’ be… at least heading into the Cap One instead of the Cotton. Think we handle Penn State but thats neither here nor there.

Re: Recruiting – see anything happening in the next few weeks? From what I’ve gathered, we should be pretty set for the most part but may change if we get any kind of impact like last year?

Think we’re a little easier to predict for next year w/ Snead returning. With him going to the NFL think our variance is a lot larger – from 5-7 to 8-4 rather than a solid 7-5/8-4 with him.

For what it's worth

Ole Miss is the only school in the SEC to be ranked in the big three men’s team sports simultaneously: Football (no. 20), Basketball (no. 14) and baseball (no. 22).

So you know, it’s not so bad to be a Rebel.

Don't try and lay no boogie woogie on the king of rock 'n roll.

Fuck the polls

LSU is 17 after losing to Penn State (and Ole Miss) and Ole Miss is 20 after beating Oklahoma State (and LSU)? As usual, polls are a joke.

DAMN IT TO HELL!!! I WAS going to say something nice about LSU... but my clock ran out like theirs did against Ole Miss and Penn State. Dumb coonasses. I bet if they tied corndogs to the clock, they'd keep a better eye on it. heh.

Polls don’t mean shit! clap clap clapclapclap!!

Well unless we’re counting being #1 at the end. That’s the only time the football polls mean something and even then it’s debatable. I’m done hating on the pollsters for ranking teams too high (ahem Rebels) or too low (ahem Some Other Team).

Here's the punchline to the joke...

Division I-AA team Villanova got 2 votes in the final Division I AP football poll. Umm, how?

DAMN IT TO HELL!!! I WAS going to say something nice about LSU... but my clock ran out like theirs did against Ole Miss and Penn State. Dumb coonasses. I bet if they tied corndogs to the clock, they'd keep a better eye on it. heh.
