The South will not Rise Again?

If Ole Miss has anything to say about it, the south won’t rise again. At least, not in a way that promotes intolerance and hatred.
One of the most popular fight songs at Mississippi is “From Dixie with Love,” and during part of the tune, fans chant “the South will rise again,” a recent development. In other words, this isn’t a long-standing tradition at the school. Administrators have asked the student body to stop the chant, which some find to be an offensive reference to the intolerance and hatred that was part of southern life for so long.

Swine Flu: Where Will it Hit Next?

After the initial outbreak, people stopped talking so much about the swine flu. I guess everyone realized that, although it can be dangerous, it is just the flu. As long as your immune system isn’t compromised and you get medical attention if your fever goes too high, you’ll be just fine in a few days, like you would be with any other type of flu.
Flu outbreaks, however, can knock down an entire team, and since this strain is so contagious, it is spreading like wildfire across college campuses, where students are always in such close proximity to one another. This …read more

Another Mighty Team Falls during Week 5: Ole Miss Holds Off Florida
September 27, 2008 by Allison Boyer
Filed under Football
Maybe it is the weekend of upsets. We haven’t really seen many crazy games this year, especially not compared to last year, but this week we’ve already seen the #1 team fall…and now #4 Florida has fallen to an unranked team as well, 31-30.
Many people were calling for a repeat of last year from Tim Tebow. Although there is no doubt that he’s a good quarterback, I doubt he’ll be in Heisman contention again this year. He peaked too early. In today’s game, Mississippi’s Jevan Snead (see left) was by far the best quarterback in the game. He threw …read more
New Coaching Hires: Update
December 12, 2007 by Allison Boyer
Filed under Football
With so many teams kickin’ their coaches to the curb this year, athletic directors across the country are in a frenzy to do one of two things:
Convince an awesome coach to come coach for their team.
Convince their awesome coach not to leave.
I can just hear the talks going on. They all sound like used car salesmen. “You aren’t going to find a better opportunity that this. Teams like this only come around once in a lifetime. COACH NOW! No iterest until January 2010!”
Some teams have already made their hires, so their athletic departments can breathe easy:
Arkansas: Boby Petrino
Baylor: Art Briles
Georgia …read more
