Murphy Holloway Leads Ole Miss to Victory | Commercial Appeal
Big Murph had a big game last night, tallying 19 points and 14 rebounds to lead Ole Miss in a 71 to 63 victory over the visiting Arkansas Razorbacks. This game, his first back from a high ankle sprain, serves as prima facie evidence of his value to the Ole Miss basketball team and any potential for success they may have this season.
But it wasn't just Murphy Holloway who made a difference. Nick Williams scored 18 points and the entire Rebel team shot an impressive .500 from the floor. It was as complete a game Ole Miss could have hoped for in the wake of Dundrecous' Nelson's dismissal.
Ex-Giles County Star Commits to Ole Miss | The Tennesseean
The potential for playing time and a coaching staff familiar to Bo Wallace is what led to his eventual commitment to the Rebels. Sayeth Bo:
Going in, I’m more comfortable knowing Coach Freeze’s offense already. I feel like that gives me a leg up on (the other Ole Miss quarterbacks) in the open competition right now.
Ole Miss Understands Why Mississippi State Would Want to Advertise in Oxford | Hugh
When the EotC asked Michael Thompson how he felt about Mississippi State's "Play with the BEST" billboard being placed no more than a mile from the Ole Miss campus entrance on Jackson Avenue West, the Associate AD donned his best trollface and offered this response:
You’re going to spend money in good markets… (Oxford) is a powerful market for anybody to want to market to
What's left out is that State is clearly trying to win over Lafayette County quarterback Jeremy Liggins by posting ads outside of his favorite Wendy's. (Which doesn't make any damn sense to me why that one would be anybody's favorite Wendy's. The Frostee machine is always "broken" when you're craving one the most.)
Running Back Mike Hilton: Committed to Ole MIss, but Will Visit UNC | AJC.com
Hilton, a 5'9" 175 pound athlete per Rivals.com, is the next Dexter McCluster Derrick Herman. Of course we need warm bodies in lots of thinner spots on the Rebel depth chart, but I wouldn't fret over losing the prospect to the Tar Heels.
Demaryius Thomas and Calvin Johnson Leading ACC Alumni in NFL Playoffs | FromTheRumbleSeat
Don't let the Georgia Tech/ACC centric title fool you, becuase this is an interesting look at whose NFL alumni are performing during the NFL playoffs. Ole Miss is fifth among all schools in total playoff yards with 317 and second among all schools with 24 points. Eli Manning and Mike Wallace, naturally, have everything to do with that.
Ole Miss chancellor optimistic about future | DeSoto Times Tribune
Oh yeah, what future is that, Dr. Dan? You gonna turn the Lyceum into some sort of Northeastern elite museum to political correctness?! You gonna replace the Grove's trees with Nancy Pelosi statues?! You gonna fly the flag of China from the Circle's flagpole?!
[Actually, he has set a series of goals for the future, which include making education a higher priority in the state of Mississippi, achieving a balance between academic success and access to education, and seeking civil conversations on controversial topics among others.]

That’s more like it, AK. With 19 turnovers from the starters, its like we never missed Murf.

The Wendy’s on Sisk Ave is FAR SUPERIOR to the Wendy’s on Jackson. It’s not even a contest.

Obviously.
We used to call it Secret Wendy’s.

Best fast food hamburgers? I’ve always been partial to Wendy’s, but the Whopper and, surprisingly, Sonic Burger can give that redhead a run for her money.

Not sure if this is considered "fast food" but
the 5 Guys double cheese burger has climbed the top of my list. A close second would be the double quarter pounder with cheese.
I work just a few steps away from a 5 Guys and it’s hard not to eat there at least 3 times a week. Them burgers are the FIAR!
by Marty McReb on Jan 12, 2012 11:32 AM EST up reply actions
The thing that bothers me about 5 Guys
is how they always short you on the fries.

I work a block from a Five Guys as well.
I have to be very, very careful to not eat there as often. Those burgers are phenomenal, especially with jalapenos and hot sauce.
I’m going to rule, though, that Five Guys isn’t fast food. It’s a part of that new genre of restaurants they’re calling “Fast Casual”, a grouping which includes Moe’s, Chipotle, Chop’t, and so forth.

We lived off College Hill near B's BBQ
and would take the “scenic route to secret Wendy’s” by cutting through that neighborhood.
And also, Charlym is correct. That entrance was absurd. But oh so worth it.

I lived off College Hill too.
Took that rout many a time.
On another note, there was a phenomenal soul food restaurant out that way. It was right next to College Hill Presb. Church and across from Regents School. They had 12 year old kids taking orders and they always had re-runs of The Jeffersons playing on the tv in the dinning room. Some of the best damn country/soul food I have ever had. I know it’s closed now but damn that was some bad ass food. I cannot think of the name of the place for the life of me.
by Marty McReb on Jan 12, 2012 11:59 AM EST up reply actions
We called it Secret Wendy's too
And since we lived on South 14th when it opened, it meant less chance of passing police on the way there and back.

Wait...
There are two Wendy’s in Oxford? Sheesh, I really need to plan a trip when nothing is going on just to drive around town.
Beer and hot wings....mmmmmm
There was also
a movie theater over there. They brought in some prety cool movies. You could buy a bucket of beers to drink whilst viewing your movie. Cool concept but didn’t last very long.
by Marty McReb on Jan 12, 2012 11:29 AM EST up reply actions
imagine that
a town full of bible thumpers and poor students wouldn’t support a movie theater that sold buckets of beer for $25 and glasses of wine for $10

Me and mine saw Beerfest outside at the "Amp" theater on opening night
Probably the best time I’ve ever had seeing a movie. Went through a lot of buckets of beer. Clapped annoyingly everytime there was a Super Troopers reference.

There are some nice neighborhoods that connect around the city. Oxford is many things. A good driving town is one of them.

if only we had a buffalo wild wings/hooters on sisk....
ive argued this for years (4, actually).. we need to develop sisk! b-dubs, hooters, best buy, couple of bars and a target and you have a Perkins Row(ish)- if your familiar with baton rouge. i need investors…..

I don't get why Oxford can't have a good wing establishment.
Wing Stop and Coop take approximately three hours to deep fry and saucify some goddamn little pieces of chicken before serving it to you cold alongside some soggy french fries.
Why can’t some enterprising Oxonian corner the market once and for all on the Ole Miss chicken wing market? I’m talking fresh wings which have been marinated or brined, fried in piping hot peanut oil, and covered with one of a dozen different house made sauces. You could even serve grilled wings for those who want that option.
Chicken wings are so insanely easy to make fresh at home that I could literally do it while blackout drunk and outdo whatever bullshit Wing Stop peddled. Why somebody in Oxford hasn’t done this I don’t get. It’d be like the new Abner’s.

One of the big reasons
that Buffalo Wild Wings won’t come is because of the Sunday Blue Law holdovers.
No beer on Sunday = No beer with NFL = no profit on Sunday for BWW. Who the fuck wants wings with a cola on a Sunday?

Wing Fanatic....
Always had a 6 year old come to my door to make deliveries after an hour and a half wait. Tee and I would be so mad, but what do you do when a six year old was the delivery guy?
Do we really have to wait for the next Manning to be relevent again?
I thought it was supposed to develop and that's why the Wendy's opened along with that movie theater that lasted all of 2 months.
And then it was pretty much just the Wendy’s.

It was supposed to, but the neighborhood vetoed that really fast
It made my grandmother mad lol

The theater kind of got railroaded by Malco, from what I remember hearing.
Basically, Malco had been content to operate that piece of shit theater they used to have in the mall (the old one) until the new one opened on Sisk. The competition caused Malco to expand and build a nice, new theater in the mall and then use their corporate leverage to fuck the other theater out of most of the good movies. Don’t know how accurate all of that is, but that’s the story I heard. Either way, it resulted in a better theater for Oxford.
Yeah, but it's not surprising if you don't know it's there.
You just about need a map and compass to find it way out on Sisk Ave. It’s pretty much out in the middle of nowhere.

Fast food- gotta give it to Sonic. I love pairing a delicious Sonic Burger with an order of Mozz sticks and a DR Pepper.
Overall burger- Handy Andy. Just fucking great!

Was always my favorite.
Their old Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich was a close second.
Back in the day, Ole Miss Delivery had the best Cheeseburger and their Onion Rings were a Killer that I’ve been unable to find any place since.

surprised no one has mentioned the christy's burger..
i guess it may fall under the “casual/fast” category..
The triple there puts Wendy's to shame..
I’ve only seen it finished once.

went to christy's once, the first week it opened
maybe i’m wrong to write it off by judging a place on it’s first week of existence but i thought the food was really really salty, even for a hamburger and fries, and rather expensive, even though the portions are HUGE.

I've been to christy's a few times
Each time sucked more than the last. Not a big fan of that place.
I’m a fan of the Wendy’s double. Saved me during finals week.

Not a burger...
but the roast beef sandwich from Pizza Den was unreal. I loved that if you got a sandwich from there to go or delivered, your bag would have a sandwich wrapped in foil with the remainder of the bag filled with Tom’s potato chips
Beer and hot wings....mmmmmm
And the bag would be see through from the grease lol

I'll see your roast beef and raise you a stromboli.
Never make direct eye contact with the delivery driver.
The stromboli was my closest friend
and enemy in Oxford.

Rebel Burger
Y’all are too young to remember the Rebel Drive Inn. They had a delivery as well as walk in. The Rebel Burger in 1965 was about a half-pounder on a bun with catsoup. You paid extra for anything added. Great!
