A revisit of Ole Miss baseball’s SEC numbers

Three weeks ago, Ole Miss baseball sat at the intersection of Serenity Now and Thanks, I Hate It. They couldn’t hit, struck out like it was their oxygen, and were inconsistent on the mound.

Men’s and Women’s basketball building through the portal

The transfer portal in basketball is just as nuts as it is in football. Perhaps even more since there are less roster spots demanding a bigger piece of the pie. Hell, it’s been reported that the Louisville men just paid two guys almost $10 million combined to come there. I am not sure if the […]
