Changing the culture of Ole Miss Rebel athletics since 2008.
The conversations about Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin seem to be taking on a different tone with some fans, and with a possible historic run and College Football Playoff implications looming, the pressure could be mounting on the sixth year head coach. It’s the worst kept secret in college football the Florida Gators want Kiffin […]
Ole Miss used a dominant second half to put away an upset-minded Florida squad, 34-24, to improve to 10-1 for the season. Rebels running back Kewan Lacy scored three touchdowns to break the single season rushing touchdown record. The sophomore from Dallas, Tex. has 19 touchdowns for the year, and he posted 224 yards rushing […]
This game has all the makings of a prize fight, but with only one real heavyweight contender entering the ring. The No. 6 Ole Miss Rebels (9-1, 5-1 SEC) host Florida (3-6, 2-4 SEC) at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN in Oxford. The line for the game has swung from the Rebels -15.5 to now […]
The C.M. Tad Smith Coliseum will host its final game on Friday night when Ole Miss and Cal State Bakersfield tips off at 6:30 p.m. CT. The Tad Pad has been the home to 702 games for basketball, and now it is time to say goodbye to the venerable old spaceship looking arena. The “Throwback […]
This week’s post is an abbreviated version of the exercise in breaking down our various levels of knowledge or lack thereof. The word count reduction, which takes value from your subscription, is thanks to yours truly traveling and [gestures at everything happening]. Saturday night is significant for a little ol’ something called the college football […]
So apparently you can force results on your CFB26 schedule, so I started a new season, forced the Rebs to a 9-1 record which led to Ole Miss being ranked #3 in the CFP poll heading into this matchup. Even the EA Sports CFP poll is flawed as it had Ole Miss ranked one spot […]
Thanks to a Virginia loss, Ole Miss now has a new projected opponent in the College Football Playoff after rankings were released Tuesday. The Rebels (9-1, 5-1 SEC) dropped one spot in the CFP rankings to No. 7 overall and projected to play No. 10 Texas in Oxford in the first round of the playoffs. […]
Yep. You read that right. It seems like a real ugly situation brewing in New York as the GM got rid of Brian Daboll, the man who went all in on former Rebel Jaxson Dart. The thing is, Daboll was right. So far, Dart has surpassed expectations, putting up better numbers than Jayden Daniels in […]
The guys and gal here at Red Cup haven’t written about basketball too much, but all that is about to change as the men’s basketball season hits a different gear on Tuesday against local rival Memphis Tigers. Ole Miss (2-0) head coach Chris Beard has gone in and completely revamped his roster from last season’s […]
You just knew when you saw Ole Miss favored by 50+ points that there was such a slim chance they would cover that. First two weeks of the season when you are trying to figure things out? Hell yeah. But 10th game of the season, relatively healthy with the College Football Playoff firmly in sight? […]
You damn number crunchers in Las Vegas are trying to take Ole Miss fans out right now. FanDuel Sportsbook opened its odds with Ole Miss -13.5 on Sunday, and it immediately got bet up to -15.5 as money flooded in for the Rebels (9-1, 5-1 SEC) over the Florida Gators (3-6, 2-4 SEC). The Rebels […]
Leading South Carolina 10-7 with about 7 minutes to play in the 2nd quarter, Ole Miss was in position to go up two scores and put even more stress on a bad Gamecocks offense. On 1st and 10 at the South Carolina 14, with Ole Miss going tempo, Kewan Lacy lost a yard to make […]
With Ole Miss on the cusp of making the college football playoff for the first time, what better way to relax than a noon kickoff against a 4-5 SoCon team that will probably be winning 3-0 at the end of the first quarter. We would love for Ole Miss to flatten the Bulldogs from the […]
The College Football Playoff selection committee has revealed its first edition of rankings, and Ole Miss landed at number six overall decidedly in the precious top 12 for now. The No. 6 Rebels (8-1, 5-1 SEC) have a weekend tilt against The Citadel, a home game against Florida next week and a season finale in […]
I mean we knew that right? It kind of reminds me of guards that played for John Calipari at Kentucky. They were talented recruits, had pretty good college careers but then exploded when they got to the NBA. It makes you wonder how we laid an egg against Kentucky and Florida with a talent like […]
Every week our staff gets some odds on Ole Miss from our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook on how the Rebels will fare, and you’ve no doubt read how to get somewhat more rich following our betting guidance. This week is a little different because the No. 7 Ole Miss Rebels (8-1, 5-1 SEC) are playing […]
The best Sunday tradition is writing this article because it’s another victorious weekend for the Rebels. Sure, after the inexplicable losses last season with the most talented roster in program history, I was admittedly nervous for this one. But oh ye of little faith, Ole Miss dominated another opponent on the stat sheet even if […]
An early South Carolina touchdown didn’t phase Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss as it leaned on its defense and star running back Kewan Lacy to a 30-14 win on Saturday. Ole Miss (8-1, 5-1 SEC) has been finding different ways to win this season with Saturday being no exception. The Rebels defense recorded a season […]
Long time Ole Miss fans have to know this is one of those kind of games that has haunted and plagued the Rebel football program in the past. It’s not because it’s against South Carolina (3-5, 1-5 SEC) or any kind of rivalry with the Gamecocks that dates back decades. The history on this series […]
That’s right folks. Normally this article goes live on Thursday, but I found the exercise futile as Chambliss was not in the game and Kewan Lacy was severely underrated. That caused EA to basically make us lose every game, so I decided not to continue with this weekly series. UNTIL EA WOKE TF UP and […]
If Ole Miss learned a lesson from the Georgia game and took it to Oklahoma, it’s that they can’t blow a two-score forth-quarter lead if they don’t have a two-score fourth-quarter lead because they blew a two-score third-quarter lead. You know, strategery and things of that nature. As we know, Ole Miss overcame the third-quarter […]
There was an Ole Miss coach whose name I nary mention, but he presented the idea that fans “remember November” as an important time of every football season. Winning in November means momentum into the postseason, next season, etc., and thus far in Lane Kiffin’s tenure it has produced some solid yet mixed results in […]
A massive win on the road against top 25 Oklahoma moved Ole Miss up one spot nationally, and now it has a potential November to remember starting with South Carolina. FanDuel Sportsbook opened with the No. 7 Rebels (7-1, 4-1 SEC) as a -13.5 favorite over the Gamecocks (3-5, 1-5 SEC) which is coming off […]
For those of us who don’t have a tight allegiance with an NFL franchise, we have all become New York Giants fans (again) right?! From Eli Manning to Evan Engram to Jaxson Dart, the Giants just love Ole Miss and now we love the Giants again! Ultimately, our Rebel favorites that have gone on to […]
Welp, the Rebels did what apparently no one thought they could do. Ole Miss has yet to lose to Oklahoma in football ever and now can boast winning one in Norman on top of it. Oklahoma’s playoff dreams likely died on Saturday as their schedule is much harder than the Rebels’ down the stretch. With […]
