Rebel Roundup - January 26, 2011

Unproven coach, questions at every position, and numerous academic issues. I am not looking forward to 2012. I feel worse about this team than I did in 95.

While I was in Dayton, Ohio, we went to dinner at the Oakwood Club (I highly recommend if you are ever in Dayton) and the locals were all talking about Oxford as the new big retirement place to live. So apparently Oxford is about to become like middle of nowhere Florida retirement villages, which could be why the population is growing so fast.

From the City of Oxford website: “The most recent (2010) US census indicates Oxford’s population is 18,916 with a total land area of 16.5 square miles. Lafayette County has a population of approximately 43,975. Over one half (55%) of the population lies in the 20-44 years of age group, contributed in large by the University.”

You mother fudgers are on lock down as of now. No bars, no recreation, no parties. Studying and football are your only activities from this point forward outside of your rooms. You want to go out and have a beer/dinner at a bar EARN IT. Do what ever you want in your dorm rooms as long as its legal, outside of that you must earn every move. “May I go to the store to get a soda?” You got 15 minutes. For every minute your late you owe me 2 miles after practice. “I need a haircut?” you’ve got one hour. Every minute late equals a mile. If no one violates these rules in the next month you earn a little more freedom. Bo will give me one suicide for every calorie that was in that beer every day from now until spring training starts. Everyone else will give me 5 suicides a day until spring training starts for letting Bo go to the bar and have a beer without being called out by his teammates for doing something stupid. Anyone else want to go out and have a beer? Discipline will be instilled into this team whether you like it or not. If you don’t want to abide by these rules, good luck to you in your future endeavors.

At least that’s how I would do it.

Freshman year, Engl 101. I wrote a paper on this topic. I got a C on the paper, C in the Class. Hotty F*in’ Toddy y’all.

that Bo Wallace is a 20 year old guy that’s been in Oxford for a few weeks, and he has yet to get a badass fake ID. Of course, if he uses one that is of less-than-stellar quality, he could end up being charged with a felony. For some odd reason, people got real serious about fake identification about 10 years ago.

Thanks a lot Bin Laden.

Welcome to the long list of Ole Miss QBs who have tasted of the devil’s brew! Only time will tell if Mr. Wallace is to be grouped with Eli as being a great one or hung with Mackey for being an average one.

IMHO, what happens next from Coach Freeze and Mr. Wallace will tell us a lot about the Ole Miss football team that we will see in the fall.

OBTW, I got an MIP in 1965 for having a drink in my dorm room. Dirty rat from the Housing Authority, a grad student living in the apartment on the east end of Baxter got me as I was coming out of my room with my white Ole Miss mug full of Bacardi Rum and Coke. Really pissed him off that I asked for a receipt for my mug when he took my drink and wrote me the MIP. I paid a $50 fine to University Police Chief Tatum who was all smiles when he took my money. I got my white mug back and still have it too!

Later that year as the HA SOB was “making rounds” around the dorm, I dropped a lit cherry bomb on the SOB’s head from the second floor entrance!

Ah! The good ole days!
