ASB-sponsored Everybody’s Tent deemed big success By Walter Lyle wmlyle@go.olemiss.edu
The Grove saw a new addition during the first home game of the 2013 Ole Miss football season with the introduction of Everybody’s Tent. Everybody’s Tent was an idea organized and sponsored by the Associated Student Body. Positioned in the Grove in front of the Student Union, the tent was open to anyone who did not have their own

tent to go to on Saturday. The ASB supplied food, non-alcoholic beverages and seating for all who were interested. “Everyone’s Tent is primarily for students who don’t tailgate anywhere else in the Grove,” said Gregory Alston, president of the ASB. William Fowler, director of Everybody’s Tent, came up with the idea during Alston’s campaign knowing it would be a great opportunity for wandering Grove-goers to go
and meet each other as well as get out of the hot sun. “The Tent was a good success,” Fowler said. “We had about 600 people show up, all from different walks of life.” Among these visitors were parents, family, faculty and alumni. Athletics Director Ross Bjork also made an appearance, along with Brandi Hephner-Labanc, vice chancellor for student affairs. Fowler said he pitched the idea to the ASB cabinet, ex-

Everybody’s Tent presents…inclusivity By tim abram
toabram@go.olemiss.edu
During my first three years at Ole Miss, I never saw what I saw on Saturday in the Grove. I saw a tent that had people from different racial, social and economic backgrounds all enjoying finger sandwiches while conversing with one another. Everybody’s Tent is a new initiative launched by the Associated Student Body to provide a tailgating space for individuals who typically would not have a place to Grove. This is by far the best ASB initiative to promote inclusivity within the university that I have witnessed during my tenT H E D A I LY

ure as a student. For far too long, the Grove has been seen by some individuals as an unwelcoming place, where they do not fit in. But even after Saturday, the Grove will still seem an uninviting place to some. I am certainly not suggesting that after one event the Grove is now a place where everyone truly feels accepted and invited. However, I will admit that the students within the ASB understand the importance of diversity in the Grove and are making great efforts to truly include everyone. At the Freshman Convocation this year, Chancellor Jones spoke about each individual making the university his or her own. I would argue that people’s experiences in the Grove stand as the hallmark of the Ole Miss experience (along with locking

the Vaught, wildly chanting “Hotty Toddy” and hearing “FIRST DOWN! Ole Miss!”). For far too long too many of our students have felt like the Grove was not for them. This greatly saddens me because many students, specifically minority students, are missing out on the unique experiences and networking opportunities that occur in the Grove on Saturday afternoons. The ASB plans on hosting Everybody’s Tent a few more times this season. This is a new tradition that I hope will continue long after I have graduated. But, more importantly, I look forward to the day when Everybody’s Tent will no longer be needed. It must be quite odd for me to say that, given that the first one just occurred. I think once the need for Everybody’s Tent no longer exists, we, as the Ole Miss com-

munity, will have achieved a magnificent accomplishment. Why? If Everybody’s Tent in the Grove is no longer needed, this must mean that everybody’s tent in the Grove is truly everybody’s. When I come back to the Grove as an alum, I hope to see what I saw in Everybody’s Tent in every tent in the Grove. In the past, I have admonished Ole Miss students when ignorance manifests itself in tweets or Facebook statuses. Now, I would like to commend the ASB for a job well done with Everybody’s Tent. This is the first step of many needed for Ole Miss to become its very best for everyone. Tim Abram is a senior public policy leadership major from Horn Lake.

Twerking Our Monetary Policy
By cory ferraez cferraez@go.olemiss.edu
Twerking was recently added to the Oxford Dictionary (R.I.P. English): “to dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance.” See Miley Cyrus. According to my pop culture-following friends, no one really knows who she is anymore. Starting out as the innocent Hannah Montana, now a trashy version of her former self, performing a VMA routine that makes even the hippest hipsters cringe. But the media can’t get enough of her. People are hooked on this type of news apparently. A drug with no rehab available for our 24-hour news cycle. Oddly, this sounds similar to another issue: monetary policy and our Federal Reserve (“Fed”). From Wall Streeters to Main Streeters, no one knows what’s going on with that institution, with its thrusting influx of easy cash (quantitative easing), followed by a low-squatting yet obstinate stance on excessive abuses of the yield curve. It’s neither public nor transparent. Sophisticated economist
and industry insiders wait helplessly, hinging on every word from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and the release of its private meeting minutes. Now, if you made it through the last paragraph, stay with me. Our millennial generation has the best opportunity to understand and correct our broken monetary system and supposedly the most “educated” workforce. We can’t continue in this direction. We can’t continue with the Fed in control of our market prices. We need a free price market system. Controlled and manipulated prices necessarily bring inflation. Inflation is an increase in the cost of goods and a decrease in how far one dollar will take you. If it costs you three dollars today to buy a gallon of milk, it may be $3.25 next year or $3.50 the next. If your income is stagnant, then you have less money to spend on other things and less money to save or invest or pay student loans. But we don’t like that, so we demand higher wages to suit our spending and mirror inflationary outcomes. Our poor and working poor, the most harmed by inflation, must receive higher assistance, higher minimum wages and now, apparently, a living wage. Our middle class can’t afford to send their kids to college without mounds of debt, can’t afford groceries for their
family of four, can’t afford a mortgage and can’t afford a simple night out to build family relationships. The wealthy and politically connected are most benefited by inflation of course. The Fed’s mindset is equivalent to seeing Miley’s VMA performance and saying, “She should host the Oscars, Golden Globes and all the other ‘look at me’ celebrity events every year.” While most would probably agree that’s an awful idea, we never flinch when we hear a two percent inflationary target per year is “right on track.” Sure, enjoy that hyperinflation. Surprisingly, price deflation can and should happen — wages can fall if the price of goods and services falls. Yet our system doesn’t crash when this occurs. In fact, during a recession, it filters out the misallocation of resources and poor investments made during hyperinflationary periods. Only government or Fed twerking can prevent those good outcomes. So why do we let the Fed continue to print money that will not only directly lead to hyperinflation, but also ensure we continue to have fewer opportunities for our future? Fewer opportunities for millennials paying down our debt because we can’t afford basic needs and wants. Fewer opportunities to start our own businesses or take more risks.
Start learning what the Fed is and does. It may surprise you. If history is any indicator, the Fed has done a terrible job. Your economics professors aren’t telling you this. Yeah, they say that the Fed makes sure banks have capital and liquidity and preserve purchasing power, and “saves” our system from systemic risk. But since its inception in 1914, we’ve hardly seen any of these things. Just two years after 1914, consumer price inflation soared. Along with new financial regulations we keep passing, we should be fine … sigh. A John Maynard Keynesian view of economics produces an abysmal record. A failed record. But you’d never hear that from Keynesian supporters of course (I’m talking to you, Paul Krugman). Bernanke knows that with this much U.S. debt, inflation is the only savior to help mask the debt
burden. But not one Keynesian economist mentions the depression of 1920-21, when President Harding dramatically decreased government spending (70 percent) and the Fed actually raised rates — contributing to a speedy recovery: a 2.4 percent unemployment rate by the end of 1922. Start supporting measures to audit the Fed. If anything, to see what’s up with all their balance sheet twerking. If you want a more secure future, the answer doesn’t involve continuing to let the Fed run our system, giving our politicians a bottomless and secret piggy bank, so you end up with less money to go see Miley twerking live.

cess of its first appearance. It will be present at three more home games this year: Oct. 12 vs. Texas A&M, Oct. 26 vs. Idaho and Nov. 15 vs. Troy, with the format staying
the same. Alston also holds out hope that it will continue after he graduates and will become another tradition to add to the rich history of The University of Mississippi.
Oxford, Miss. has a lot of churches. Some are big and old, others are young and growing. Some have large youth groups, family involvement, and a staff of volunteers with more people than another church’s entire congregation. Some have a small, but consistent group of college students who faithfully arrive five minutes late each and every Sunday. Some have their own official iPhone app. Some don’t even have their own building. Yes, there is most likely a church for everyone and anyone in this small college town, but that does not mean Oxford is an exception to the rising trend in the religiously unaffiliated that now make up 20 percent of our nations under 30-year-olds according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. According to this poll research released last October, the “nones” (those who are atheistic, agnostic, or of no particular religious belief) have risen almost 4 percent in the last five years alone. The nones are now to the Democratic Party, what Christian conservatives are to the Republican Party. Terry Mattingly, a nationally syndicated columnist, journalism professor, and former theology professor, has been writing on the subject of religion since the 70s. He has been writing about the nones for quite some time now and was kind enough to contribute for this article. “In between (the religious and the nones) is about 60 percent of the American public and it’s very hard to describe their beliefs, and it all depends on what kind of question you ask them,” Mattingly said. “… it’s just a kind of a wishy-washy section that I like to refer to as Oprah America. It’s a world of religion where things are kind of based on your emotions and your feelings.” Mattingly discussed a multitude of possible reasons why many people would either be leaving the church, or not decide to even go in the first place, but what is most apparent is that those who are the marginally or not very involved in church are most likely to stop going. Over the years, the number of marginally involved has been adding to the number of nones. There are now more people who would rather sleep in on Sunday, rather than waste their time pretending. “[It’s] a significant change, but it’s actually not a change that affects who’s in the pews that much because those people were hardly in the pews anyways. I’ve heard some con-
servative Christians say that in a way this is a plus, because people are at least being a bit more honest,” Mattingly said. What seems to be causing the most significant change, the big issue, as Mattingly puts it, is all the sex culture of America, or other social issues. “What unites the nones is “lifestyle liberalism,” which is not the same thing as political liberalism. It’s a kind of moral libertarianism, a kind of “don’t judge me, leave me alone,” lifestyle,” Mattingly said. Mattingly says that these lifestyle issues, and the church’s avoidance in dealing with them, are oftentimes what will cause people to not only leave the church, but also stay away. “I think a lot of liberal, or non-religious Americans have this image in their mind that evangelical mega-church pastors are standing up in pulpits and are just preaching on homosexuality week after week after week, and they’re just not,” Mattingly said. He says that many pastors don’t address these issues, because they see the reality, that divorce, premarital sex, and cohabitation is just as likely to take place in a Christian’s life as anyone else’s life. “And so to some degree, the pastors are scared of their own people when it comes to talking about these issues,” Mattingly said. This is incredibly dangerous, in that more people are going to leave the church without knowing why or how they should care about or respond to certain issues. This is one of the biggest reasons why youth are leaving the church when they go off to college or the “real world” according to the viral blog post “Top 10 Reasons Our Kids Leave Church.” “If young people are going to leave the church, they might as well leave because they’ve rejected what their churches actually teach,” Mattingly said. “They should at least have a chance to accept it or reject it. Which means an articulate presentation of what churches believes is crucial.” So how are the churches in Oxford, Miss. acting or reacting to this rising number of nones? As I mentioned about this religious, southern, college town, there are a lot of churches, but there are still a large number of students at Ole Miss, and town residents who are not showing up on Sunday mornings or nights. How are the local churches working towards approaching these nones, and what are they doing to insure their youth don’t become nones? Brent Colee has been the youth pastor at North Oxford Baptist Church for over a year
now, and he talks about how these conversations of keeping kids in a church and encouraging them to grow in their faith, has been going on for a long time. “We live in a culture, or town, where they are pushed to grow up fast and pushed to enjoy the college scene,” Colee said. “Being a young teenager in the Grove, it’s accepted to kind of do what the college kids are doing. I had a conversation last year with a parent whose daughter was a freshman in high school who’s friend went home to change clothes because the college guys would hit on them more if they were dressed a certain way.” Colee said that he and the staff at North Oxford have been going through a course on apologetics with the youth group in order to teach them the basics of their faith so they can defend themselves. However, he feels that students ranging from ages 18-to-24 have the most difficult time, because oftentimes the church they attend does not have any sort of way for them to be involved. “That’s one of the reasons that students walk away, there’s nothing for them during that crucial, pivotal time,” Colee said. “They feel like they’re no longer important, they feel like they don’t have a place, because they’re not old enough to be a part of the adult bible studies, but yet we have classified them as too old to stay in the student ministry.” Because of this, Colee, along with North Oxford’s college pastor, Fish Robinson, have both put a lot of time into discipleship with college students. Whether it is taking them out to get coffee, lunch, or in Colee’s case, inviting a student to live with his family for a semester, each of these two pastors have placed a large emphasis on making themselves available to students in need. Colee hopes that these sorts of efforts will help inspire other older and wiser members of the community to step up and invest in the lives of students. He said that this type of ministry is beneficial to anyone of any age, but especially to college students, and especially students who are far away from home. “There’s not a magical fix… We’ve got a college pastor here, but not a lot of churches are able to do that and so it’s just a matter of getting people to see the vision, to see the need, and I’m just not sure how we’re going to do that,” Colee said. Curt Liles, a former youth pastor in Brandon, Miss., moved to Oxford to plant The Life Oxford two years ago with See RELIGION, PAGE 5
NEWS NEWS | 9 September 2013 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | PAGE 5
RELIGION, continued from page 4 college students in mind. A large reason for this move was because of former students having trouble finding places to fit in within Oxford, or they have left the faith altogether. “In our church culture, in Mississippi, especially in youth groups, you see a lot of peerinfluenced activity” Liles said. “You see a lot of people coming to events or even making some sort of professions or life decisions, and I would be willing to state that a lot of that is probably driven by peer acceptance in society.” Liles said that many Christian life decisions like this, even ones that have merit, can often lead to a weak faith and leave students coming to college without a firm grounding, and then they get all of this freedom and they don’t have to show up to church because mom and dad said so. Because of this, Liles wanted to bring a church that would be welcoming to these students. “Not as formal, not as structured, not as religious, but really about the core essentials of our faith, about Jesus about his love for us, about our need to be forgiven and to know God, and so we tried to focus on those things and not so much on the things that tend to divide, things that tend to run the younger generations from church,” Liles said. Liles makes a big deal about relationships in the church, and talks about how important they are for the 18-to-24 year olds Colee mentioned. “For me, one of the things that college students, even the college students who don’t have a disagreement with the bible or big problems with living these horrible lives, they just frankly get to a point where they don’t see a lot of people in the church that can understand them,” Liles said. One of the main reasons Liles brought The Life to Oxford was to connect these students with people like them and to redefine what church can be like for them. “I think oftentimes with people who tend to get disenfranchised with the church and decide to leave it, it is often the amount of, or the content of, the churches programming that doesn’t seem relevant to where they are and so they choose to do something more useful with their time,” Liles said. So Liles has been trying to create a different atmosphere at The Life, one of community that extends throughout the week, rather than just during scheduled meetings at a building with a cross on the top of it. J.D. Shaw, pastor at Grace Bible Church in Oxford, places all of his focus into biblical teaching. He said that follow-
ing scripture and making disciples should be the only goal for Christians because everything else will flow from that accordingly. Shaw says that, like Liles, he sees a lot of people leaving the church because they may not have been Christians in the first place. “Sooner or later everyone has to realize that being a disciple of Jesus Christ is hard, and you can either figure that out when you’re 10, 15, 20, or 30, but the sooner we get people to realize that, in an age appropriate way, the better,” Shaw said. Shaw said that at Grace Bible they focus on good bible teaching, and equipping parents to raise their children in godly households in a way where they won’t have to worry about them as they grow up in their faith. He doesn’t worry about getting college students to show up for his services, because he knows that there are people looking for a church, and they’re looking for one that preaches the bible well. “I don’t do anything here I wouldn’t do in any other town in the world. We just worry about teaching the bible,” Shaw said. “We started a 5:00 pm service and we put an ad in the Daily Mississippian for that, but outside of that, in my eight years being a pastor in a college town we’ve never advertised or never tried to really reach out to college students, we’ve just tried to teach the bible faithfully.” When it comes to the nones and the unaffiliated, Shaw said

that many Christians will turn them off to the idea of church, but he said that is what can make the Gospel more powerful. “The church’s message is not that we’re full of good people, the church’s message is that we’re all messed up and we have a savior who is very good, and he loves us in spite of the fact that we’re messed up,” Shaw said. Shaw said that if Christians were more humble and real then nones might feel more comfortable coming out to church. He said that Jesus appealed to those who were the nones of his day, and that the religious people were the ones
who killed him. “Jesus was profoundly humble in the sense that he never ever saw distinctions in people. He didn’t care if you were the most powerful or the least powerful.” Shaw said. “He didn’t care if you were the most moral or the least moral. He just cared that if you were interested in him, then he was interested in you. That’s humility, it’s about not seeing distinctions in people.” Shaw, like everyone else I spoke to, agrees that there is no quick fix for bringing the religiously unaffiliated into churches, but he agrees that it does start with discipleship, and community, and preaching
Jesus. So maybe, like Mattingly said, it is better that people are being more honest. Those rarely filled pews are now empty, but filled with hope by these pastors and community leaders who believe in something that ignores social standards, political power, and money. Colee and Liles and Shaw can now focus, or continue focusing, on creating environments where people can experience Jesus and meet other people who are trying to do the same. And then they can go out and meet people who may not be trying to meet Jesus, but would still like to meet people like him.

‘The Book of Manning’ opens in Oxford
Archie Manning speaks to members of the media before the premiere of “The Book of Manning” Friday.
By Houston Brock jhbrock@go.olemiss.edu
Hundreds of people gathered at the Gertrude C. Ford Center Friday night for the premiere of “The Book of Manning.” The event helped raise more than $100,000 for the Blair E. Batsons Childrens Hospital. The documentary chronicled the tale of former Ole Miss All-American Quarterback Archie Manning balancing his football career with his life at home. “I feel a little awkward talking about it myself because it’s about me,” Archie said. “I think it’s a little bit about family, and I hope that’ll be a good thing and a good influence.” Archie was accompanied by his wife Olivia and his son Cooper. “I think it’ll educate a lot of people on what the south is all about and a little bit more about my dad’s history,” Cooper said. The film also details the birth of Archie’s three sons Cooper, Peyton and Eli and
how their lives were shaped by football. Each son is dedicated a portion of the film to show their the ups and downs of their football careers. Cooper, the oldest son, was a standout All-State receiver in high school. He committed to play football at Ole Miss, but never got to play a snap. His diagnosis of spinal stenosis was the end of his football career. Peyton was a teammate of Cooper for two years in high school. Peyton was a top prospect coming out of high school as well, and his controversial decision to attend the University of Tennessee is shown in the documentary. Peyton’s decision was frowned upon by Ole Miss fans, but Archie still defends his son to this day. Archie’s youngest son, Eli, was the only son to actually play Ole Miss football. During the documentar,y when Eli announced he was attending Ole Miss, the crowd in the ford center started applauding. In attendance at the premiere was CBS Analyst Tim
THOMAS GRANING | The Daily Mississippian
Brando, who covered Archie during his time as a Saints quarterback in New Orleans. “Archie Manning is not just a hero to Ole Miss fans in the state of Mississippi, but he’s a folk hero to the entire country,” Brando said. The documentary was not the only honor for the Mannings on Friday night. Athletic Director Ross Bjork announced that the Indoor Practice Facility is now named the Olivia and Archie Manning Athletics Performance Center. The making of the film was postponed during production after Archie backed out. Following a brief conversation with his wife, Olivia, Archie agreed that cooperating with the filmmakers was the right decision. Director Rory Karpf said he wanted to make the Mannings a documentary they could be proud of. Archie acknowledged Rory following the screening praising his effort on the movie. The documentary will air on ESPN on September 24.

Lady Rebs fall for first time this season FRIDAY: OLE MISS 1, NO. 13 USC 1 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Rafaelle Souza scored the only goal of the match, but a big defensive performance by the Rebels saw the squad remain undefeated as Ole Miss (4-0-1) and No. 13 Southern California (3-0-1) played to a 1-1 draw Friday night. Souza delivered her goal off a pass from Mandy McCalla in a quick answer to the Trojan goal as both teams scored within three minutes of each other on an afternoon that saw solid play by both keepers. Ole Miss’ Kelly McCormick posted six saves on the afternoon, while the USC keeper posted three saves. “Our team really battled today and gutted it out,” said Ole Miss head coach Matt Mott. “Our effort and intensity level was awesome. It was a high-level competition with two very talented teams going at each other. We played so hard, especially with our back line and defense of Kelly (McCormick) in goal.” “We came out in the second half committed to playing better than we did in the first,” Mott said. “We came out determined that we would not lose this match. We came out flying around and carried that through the overtime. We were going to find a way to win this match if we could today.” SUNDAY: MINNESOTA 2, OLE MISS 1 (OT)
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Rafaelle Souza connected on a penalty kick in the 71st minute, but the Golden Gophers got a late penalty kick and an overtime goal to pick up the win as Ole Miss (4-11) fell to Minnesota (6-0-0) in the Minnesota Gold Classic on Sunday. A pair of penalty kicks played a role in sending the Rebels to an overtime match for the second time on the weekend as the Golden Gophers evened things up in the 87th minute following a hand ball call in the box against Ole Miss. Minnesota then hit the golden goal in the 98th minute when a deflected ball in the box was gathered by Josee Stiever and sent out of the crowd and into the net to end the match. “It was a good weekend for us on the road coming to a Big 10 area and playing two good teams,” said Ole Miss head coach Matthew Mott. “We’re disappointed we didn’t get a result today. We had it late and started to run out of gas. The kids played hard, but Minnesota was a little fresher than us. “We have to get home and prepare to go back out on the road to start next weekend before we come home to host Memphis on Sunday night,” Mott said. “We’ll be excited to get home and play in front of our crowd, but first we have to prepare for another road match on Friday.”

Forward Together campaign reaches ‘Building Phase’ Miss Athletics is contagious.” On Friday, Bjork announced the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation’s vision was becoming a reality as the Forward Together Capital Campaign exceeded the $95 million mark in pledges and cash received. The building phase will focus on the Rebels’ new basketball arena and a five-story parking garage with 800 spaces serving the entire campus community. To maintain the current timeline laid out for construction, the foundation must secure an additional $10 million in new pledges and cash by Nov. 1. In order to be completed by September 2014, construction on the parking garage will begin this fall. Construction on the new arena will begin in the spring of 2014 with the goal to open the arena no later than January 2016, which would be in time for conference action. The new basketball arena will seat approximately 9,500 fans, and include a number of first-class amenities to serve
Ole Miss students, studentathletes and fans. The arena will be located on the west side of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in the space currently occupied by the Rebel Shop and parking lot. A fivestory parking garage will be built on the south end of the arena where the northern most football practice field currently sits. “The placement of the arena is a long-term decision,” Bjork said. “It will allow us to further enhance our athletics complex, and it will connect athletics to the heart of the best campus in higher education. This centralized location will create an impressive `front door’ for Ole Miss Athletics, and it will be a destination point not only on a game day, but for every day of the week.” “I am excited as we enter the building phase of the Forward Together campaign,” said head men’s basketball coach Andy Kennedy. “Ross and the administration have worked tirelessly to make this

plan a reality and I know the future of Ole Miss basketball is very bright.” The final phase of the campaign will center on the expansion of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, and the re-development of the Starnes Center, the Gillom Sports Center and the FedEx Student-Athlete Success Center. There are many details that still need to be completed, but the belief is to make efficient use of current facilities and resources and to steward fans’ investment in a responsible and thoughtful manner. A goal with the expansion of the north end zone of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium is to build an impressive entry point that connects the historic Grove as part of the Ole Miss Athletics’ front door vision. The Ole Miss Athletics Foundation has received 14 written agreements for new suites in the designed expanded stadium, but the exact timeline of the expansion plans are based on additional
demand for season tickets and premium seating.

Laquon Treadwell fights off Southeast Missouri State defenders.
By John Luke McCord mccordjohnluke@yahoo.com
Ole Miss’ 31-13 win over Southeast Missouri Saturday night wasn’t the prettiest of wins, but it got the job done, as the Rebels are now 2-0 on the year. “It feels really good,” junior safety Cody Prewitt said. “We expected this of ourselves. There’s still a lot of things that we have to get fixed, but 2-0 feels really good right now.” While he is right in saying the Rebels, who gave up 13 points and did not score in the second half, have a lot to fix, they are fixing them at 2-0. With the win, the Rebels are where they hoped to be heading into the week of the Texas game. This is when the Rebels will get a free shot before they head into a four-game stretch that sees them go to Alabama and Auburn before hosting Texas A&M and LSU. While there was a bit of joy in Oxford on Saturday night following a win, Texas was struggling in Provo, Utah. The Longhorns gave up over 600 yards of total offense, including over 500 on the ground to BYU. The 2013 Rebels appear to have a different mindset
entering the game, and they clearly are better equipped to face the Longhorns this season after dropping the contest 66-31 in Oxford last season. “That’s not going to happen again,” junior cornerback Senquez Golson said while meeting with the media after the game Saturday night. Back to the game from Saturday, junior quarterback Bo Wallace did not look his best and certainly not as crisp as his first performance of the season against Vanderbilt. He was 8-for-15 with 188 yards and two touchdown throws (his first two of the season). He came close, but for the second straight game, he did not throw an interception. Wallace left the game in the second quarter, giving way to senior Barry Brunetti and eventually to senior Robert Ratliff. Brunetti did not look his best through the air, but he was impressive on the ground as he rushed for 111 yards on 18 carries. Ratliff came in and completed three of his five attempts, with an interception. Overall, after Wallace, the Rebels left a lot to be desired at quarterback. There were drives that got deep into Southeast Missouri territory, but a crucial pick and fumble
by Ratliff and Brunetti, respectively, killed those drives. While the offense could have left in some of the starters and named their score, it was the defense that was more of a concern. A good bit of the starting defense was in on the two Redhawk touchdowns. Freeze said after the game that he is still “figuring things out” in his secondary. With the Longhorns waiting in the wings this coming Saturday, the Rebels must figure things out quickly. While the stale performance in the second half didn’t hurt Ole Miss on the scoreboard, it did concern Freeze. “Just thought some of our twos and threes would play with more passion when we let them out there,” Freeze said. Rebels enter top 25 After starting the year 2-0, Ole Miss jumped into the Associated Press Top 25 at No. 25. The Rebels are one of seven teams ranked from the Southeastern Conference. Ole Miss’ next opponent, Texas, dropped out of the rankings after its loss to BYU. For continuing coverage of Ole Miss football, follow @JLgrindin and @thedm_sports on Twitter.
FRIDAY: OLE MISS 3, KENNESAW STATE 0 Behind a fantastic performance from freshman right side hitter Melanie Crow, the Ole Miss volleyball team (3-1) cruised to a 3-0 (25-16, 25-10, 25-18) victory over Kennesaw State in the opening match of the Magnolia Invitational at the Gillom Sports Center. Playing in their home opener, the Rebels fed off the energy of the crowd to take the match in three quick sets. The Rebels tallied a season-high hitting percentage of .311, and trailed just once throughout the entirety of the match. “It’s great to be back home and put on a show for the young kids on School Day,” Ole Miss head coach Joe Getzin said. “We play well at home and it was good to see that we played better today than last week. We’ve made some progress on some things.” FRIDAY: GEORGIA SOUTHERN 3, OLE MISS 1 Junior Marie-Pierre Bakima had a team-high 13 kills, but the Ole Miss volleyball team (3-2) could not find an answer to the Georgia Southern attack and fell 3-1 (22-
25, 25-18, 13-25, 18-25) Friday evening at home in the Magnolia Invitational. Playing in their second match of the day, Ole Miss lost a tough opening set before rebounding with a convincing set-two victory. The Eagles (5-1) responded with a well-played third set and closed out the Rebels in the fourth set to take the 3-1 victory. SATURDAY: OLE MISS 3, ARKANSAS STATE 1 Sophomore middle blocker Nakeyta Clair tied an Ole Miss volleyball single-match record with nine block assists Saturday afternoon at the Gillom Sports Center, and the Rebels (4-2) topped Arkansas State 3-1 (25-19, 22-25, 25-19, 25-23) in the final match of the Magnolia Invitational. “I was pleased with the way we responded to last night’s loss,” Ole Miss head coach Joe Getzin said. “The kids did a great job of bouncing back and playing a very scrappy Arkansas State team. If we didn’t do the things we did today we would have ended up with a flip of the score. I’m really pleased with the team and how they handled it.”

Rebels rout Southeast Missouri By Matt Sigler mcsigler@go.olemiss.edu
Ole Miss put its foot on the gas pedal early against Southeast Missouri Saturday night, and it paid off with a 31-13 victory. The Rebels (2-0, 1-0 SEC) recorded five straight scoring drives in the first half to establish a 31-0 lead and cruised to the win the rest of the game. “We’re happy to be 2-0, come out of the game healthy and get a lot of kids in the game,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. “Those kids give a lot of effort practicing and preparing, and some playing time is good.” Offensively for the Rebels, junior quarterback Bo Wallace led the way going 8-for15 through the air for 188 yards and two long touchdowns. “I thought he started a little slow, but he got explosive,” Freeze said. “He made some good decisions and good throws.” Wallace quarterbacked three of the five scoring drives, while senior Barry Brunetti led the final two. Brunetti led the team with 111 rushing yards on 18 carries, including a touchdown. “I was kind of just going off instinct,” Brunetti said about his running. “I was just trying to get in the open field as much as possible.” Defensively, the Rebels were led by junior linebacker Serderius Bryant, who had
15 total tackles. Bryant got his first start of the year after sophomore linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche went down against Vanderbilt. “The stat line doesn’t really matter to me,” Bryant said. “I am just glad we got the win.” Ole Miss was also able to get a lot of new faces onto the field Saturday night after jumping out with the big lead early. Seven players made their debut in the red and blue, while many other second-team and third-team players got their first feel of extensive playing time in their careers. However, Freeze said it wasn’t exactly what he was looking for. “I’m disappointed in the passion we played with in the second half,” he said. “With the stretch of games we have coming up, that will not get it done. We are going to need those second- and third-string players before it’s all over. We have to expect more of ourselves and finish stronger.” The Rebels will now travel to Austin, Texas, to take on the Texas Longhorns, who fell to BYU 40-21 and also dropped out of the top-25 rankings.
