Rebel Roundup - 3/9/10

Chris Warren Named SEC Player Of The Week | OleMissSports.com
Basketball's Lil Bastid (did we ever determine that?), Chris Warren, had two big games to end the Rebels regular season on a victorious note. Of the two wins, the Arkansas season-finale was certainly his best as he dropped 31 on the Hogs in Fayetteville; 31 points which included the lead-sealing three with under a minute left to play.

You have Ivory Tower and 25 Days a Week to thank for this feat. The Chad Pad ranks 2nd nationally in average attendance per match with number one being UVA by a fairly significant margin.

ESPN’s Jimmy Dykes talks about Ole Miss | Just Brants, Gonna be Okay, Dada Doodoo
Brandt recently pestered some ESPN writer about the Rebels' standing on the NCAA Tournament bubble and basically gleaned Jimmy Dykes' professional opinion to be that we're in good shape, but not great shape.

If you’re Ole Miss, you need Tennessee to beat LSU. Because at this point, you don’t need another win over LSU. You need a high-quality win over an NCAA-quality opponent and Tennessee provides that.

CULTURE OVER AGRICULTURE, BITCHES! No, it's not at all sports related, but it is bizarrely Ole Miss related. Read it.

The Lazy Magnolia brews certainly qualify as "decent"

Particuarly the Reb Ale. It’s certainly not on the level of the beers produced by New Belgium or Stone or Rogue, but to dismiss this as not even decent is misguided.

Reb Ale is much better once you get a taste for the hoppier style beers.

It is my favorite of theirs, and I have a growler of their Gulf Porter in the fridge.

Hoppy beer is the only way to go

I prefer IPAs when available and think Hefeweisens are horrible.

If you ever get a chance to try Ruination IPA by Stone Brewery or the 90-minute IPA from Dogfish Head, I highly recommend you do.

Personally, I’m not a Porter fan, but the Gulf Porter is certainly potable.

Got to try Duvel this past weekend.

Have yet to try the Ruination.

My favorite so far is the Rogue Double Dead Guy; but that was the first one I liked too.

I've sampled many a Hefe

and I do not appreciate the subtle sweetness or carbonated feel they offer. They pour beautifully, I’ll give you that, but that’s where my admiration ends. I prefer my beer to not be sparkly-tasting, but that’s just me. My wife loves them and hates the big taste of IPAs.

As for Double Dead Guy, it’s good, but I actually prefer the regular Dead Guy Ale, which was my favorite beer until I discovered Ruination. Fat Tire, 90-Minute IPA, and Brother Thelonious or Arrogant Bastard Ale round out my top 5.

Regardless, kudos for drinking any sort of Hefeweisen instead of any mass-produced piss water light “beer”. Bud Light and its ilk are fine when you’re in college and strapped for cash, but once you’re gainfully employed, drink less and drink better. There’s a whole world of beer out there that so many people will never be exposed to.

I don't know if a Hefe cracks my top-five,

but I’m not opposed to them. Some of the best beers I’ve had have been Hefeweizens. Edelweiss, an Austrian Hefe which I have never seen for sale anywhere else, is a truly phenomenal beer.

I did not know you were a beer gourmand Ghost.

I guess all I was saying is that while I certainly support Mississippi’s only legal brewery, is that we’re behind the curve on the beers we can buy, let alone marijuana.

Certainly makes my desire to sample some of these beers much harder than it would be in other states.

I think i’ve only tried the Shiner Hefe. Where did you see this Austrian beer?

by Thile on Mar 9, 2010 11:50 AM EST up reply actions  

In Austria, actually.

Yeah, I’m that snobby. Shiner’s Hefe is pretty bad, as far as Hefeweizens go.

i'm pretty sure...

that’s not the nation’s sole marijuana farm.

Red Cup Rebellion -- Changing the Culture of Ole Miss Athletics

What they mean is that it's the nation's sole

LEGAL marijuana farm. The Federal Gubmint pays Ole Miss to grow and research the wacky tobaccy which is kinda hysterical considering the War on Drugs they’re currently waging.

Part of war...

is knowing your enemy. Trust me, I’m in military intelligence…which might be an oxymoron

by the_drake on Mar 9, 2010 10:58 AM EST up reply actions  

since this is a grammatically correct blog...

… And not just me being an asshole, but shouldn’t that caption under Warren read “you’re” instead of “your”..? Just sayin. Otherwise, the roundup is great. It keeps me awake in 8AM physics.

It could work either way...

although I seriously doubt Warren reads the Cup.

Powe is the only Athlete FotC. But he just looks at the pictures.

thanks for the clarification

i see what you meant there, but for some reason this morning i read it as if you were talking directly to CW. if that had been the case, you see my point…. sorry to start a grammar argument….

by the love IS gone... to omaha on Mar 9, 2010 3:31 PM EST up reply actions  

I'm assuming you read it before your morning

coffee had time to process. It happens to the best of us. Why, just the other day I caught myself watching Good Morning America… the fuck was that all about?

by The Ghost of Jay Cutler on Mar 9, 2010 3:43 PM EST up reply actions  

No

your is a possesive pronoun, whereas you’re is an abbreviation for “you are”.

by Jalakin on Mar 9, 2010 9:59 AM EST reply actions  

exactly. i know this.

I assumed he meant “you ARE the POTW”
However, I guess warren could be in possession of the POTW title. Oh well.

by the love IS gone... to omaha on Mar 9, 2010 10:12 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

It's not that Warren is in possession of the title

It’s that we, the fans, are in possession of the POTW.

All this possession talk brings us full circle, I believe…

Oops...

My previous post was supposed to be a reply to Omaha.
