38 days until football season. Never quit, Rebels.

Go Ahead and Update you EA Sports NCAA 2011 Rosters
Because Jeremiah Masoli is a Rebel. More on this to come, naturally.

Ole Miss Adds LA Tech to Complete 2011 Schedule | GulfLive.com
Well that was easy enough. Our 2011 schedule is as follows:

Sept. 3	Boise State	Oxford
Sept. 10	Southern Illinois	Oxford
Sept. 17	Vanderbilt	Nashville, Tenn.
Sept. 24	Georgia	Oxford
Oct. 1	Fresno State	Fresno, Calif.
Oct. 8	Open
Oct. 15	Alabama	Oxford
Oct. 22	Arkansas	Oxford
Oct. 29	Auburn	Auburn, Ala.
Nov. 5	Kentucky	Lexington, Ky.
Nov. 12	Louisiana Tech	Oxford
Nov. 19	LSU	Oxford
Nov. 26	Mississippi State	Buttholetown

With a home slate which includes Boise State, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, and LSU, you better believe 2011's season tickets are going to be hard to come by. Naturally, I'm most excited about the season opener against Boise State because that has "primetime on ESPN" written all over it. The road trips to Nashville (always a good time, don't hate), Auburn, and Lexington should be worthwhile, while the season ending trip to TSFWCDAO is what it is.

Da Lil' Bastid Signs with the Chiefs | Fantasy Football Insider
Get money, Dex. Dexter McCluster signed a four-year contract with the Chiefs who hope to use him in a Wes Welker type role in the slot. Show out, Dex. Make us proud. And congratulations from all of us on the internets.

Brown Made Big Impact at Ole Miss | Clarion Ledger
Former Rebel All-American Allen Brown will be inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame tonight.

Brown played for Ole Miss from 1962 to 1964 for legendary coach Johnny Vaught, leading the Rebels to a 22-6-3 record over that span, including 10-0 in 1962. He played on both sides of the ball - as a tight end and defensive end - and was named a first-team All-American by The Associated Press, Time magazine, The Sporting News and Playboy magazine in 1964.

He also went on to have a brief career as a tight-end for the Green Bay Packers, winning two Super Bowls. Gongratulations, Allen.

So is it actually possible

to update NCAA 11 rosters for transfers like this?

I know this has nothing to do with Ole Miss, but

…I assume y’all heard about Lorenzen Wright. He did have some local connections…he grew up in Oxford and played basketball for Lafayette County High School, in 1992 and 1993, taking them to the ‘92 State Championship game when he was a sophomore. I think he could’ve been a Rebel if his family hadn’t made him move to Memphis for his senior year.

Yes, I live in Starkville...WHO did I piss off in a past life?

You guys might be interested in this massive SI cover story on Masoli.

I’m glad he’s getting a second chance with you guys (if everything goes according to plan). He’s a good kid, and if this article is to be believed, clearly doesn’t deserve the level of scorn he’s received.
