Oxford rental properties skyrocket Ole Miss students and Oxford landlords are taking it upon themselves to earn money while accommodating fans on home football game weekends.

BY MOLLY JARABICA mjarabica1@gmail.com

Texas Longhorn fans were forced to reach deep into their pockets to secure housing in a town where space is already limited for its students and residents.

Oxford had been preparing for a burnt orange invasion since the highly anticipated matchup was announced more

than a year ago. With only nine hotels located in the city limits, there were major concerns about how Oxford would accommodate the extra 60,000 people.

Many entrepreneurial locals took advantage of the housing demand and abundance of out-of-town income by offering their residences as weekend rentals.

Ole Miss graduate student

Stephen Roybal advertised his three-bedroom home on collegeweekends.com. Soon after, he received a $2,000 offer for a two-night stay.

“My roommates and I couldn’t believe that people were willing to pay $1,000 per night to stay at our house that wasn’t even within walking distance of the Square or See RENTALS, PAGE 4

The Sept. 11 opening of Buffalo Wild Wings, a popular sports bar franchise, brings more than another place to eat and drink in Oxford – the restaurant is bringing jobs as well, according to BWW employee Devin Savage.

“There’s about 100 people that work there including servers, hostesses, the kitchen and the bartenders,” Savage said.

Savage said she thinks the chain’s national reputation will help the bar and restaurant succeed.

“I think we have more advantages because all of the out-of-state students that come from big cities are used to Buffalo Wild Wings,” she said.

“We know what it’s all about

and know what to expect from it so I think that will bring in a lot of revenue.”

Richard Gentry, a management professor, agreed that having a known brand makes a difference.

“What a franchise offers that is difficult for a local person to come up with from the start is decor, food, menu and how to put all that stuff together,” he said. “So they buy all these systems that basically have already been tested and tried out. That’s actually a pretty big advantage.”

Griffin Tanner, owner of The Levee/Cellar, said the nationwide chain also brings competition, especially to bars and restaurants on the Square.

David Villalobos is either the bravest man in the world, or the most misinformed. I’m inclined to go with the latter.

“Becoming one with the tiger,” as he said was his desire when he jumped out of his train car on the monorail that travels over the Bronx River and through a forest that is part of the 265 acres that make up the Bronx Zoo, had to be a case of misinformation on his part.

The only way becoming one with a 400-pound Siberian tiger seems possible is if the beast swallows you whole.

And according to a story from Yahoo News and many other press accounts, Bachuta – the

well as a broken right shoulder, right rib, right ankle and pelvis and a collapsed lung.

Maybe the next time he decides to become “one” with anything that outweighs him by 200 pounds or so and has very large and sharp teeth, he’ll remember this experience.

And when he rereads the account of what happened in all the papers, especially the part where he told New York Police officials that he was able to fulfill his wish and pet the tiger, he’ll remember one thing: If he actually did get to “pet the tiger,” it certainly wasn’t due to any maneuvering on his part; he owes that feat to the benevolent Bachuta, who allowed him to keep his hand long enough to realize that dream.

our day-to-day lives. For example, I wake up around 7 a.m. every morning. I drink some tea, eat cereal, go to class, eat lunch, go to more classes, go to work, eat dinner, do homework (sometimes), watch TV with my roommates and go to sleep.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat. I rarely shake anything up. My story gets boring. Likewise, I can just want to “have a good time,” but that’s going to get old, or I’m going to get old eventually. And then what? I will have lived a life that only revolved around me; there’s nothing fulfilling about that.

I’m always amazed by people who are so passionate about something that they run after it as hard as they can. Martin Luther King Jr. was a character who wanted something for himself and others and overcame mas-

sive amounts of conflict to get it. And we love his story because it’s inspiring, because its message of freedom and equality resonates with us. His story has and will live on for a long time.

I’m merely suggesting that we start to live our lives a little more intentionally and a lot more aware of the world around us.

You don’t have to be Martin Luther King Jr. Simply tell your story with enthusiasm and involve other people. Maybe think about your life a little today. What things spark your passion? How can you connect with other people in a more meaningful way? Make your story one worth reading.

He really just wanted to become one with the tiger.

He recounted the fact that once he had landed inside, on Bachuta’s turf, on all fours, no less, the tiger attacked him and dragged him around by his foot. Imagine that. I’m sure the poor, confused animal just figured the zoo staff that normally fed him had decided to give him a bigger treat that day, one that was wriggling and kicking to boot. More fun to play with your food, before actually consuming it.

Not Bachuta’s fault; it’s not the animal’s responsibility to screen all the humans that jump down from above and land in his den to determine whether or not they’re food for his belly. You really can’t blame the tiger.

According to Yahoo News, Villalobos has been charged with misdemeanor trespassing and is recovering from bites and punctures on his arms, legs, shoulders and back, as

tiger, almost did. I’m thinking that wasn’t made completely clear to the 25-year-old real estate agent before he made his near-fatal mistake.

The article from Yahoo states that before his now-infamous jump, Villalobos filled his Facebook page with New Age odes to Mother Earth and lovely quotes like, “Be love and fearless.” I’m not exactly sure what being love and fearless has to do with becoming snack food for a tiger, but of course, I’m really not up on the latest death wish trends either.

Though Villalobos is adamant that his 16- to 17-foot jump from the elevated train car had nothing to with a suicide attempt, but the way some people are looking at it is, if the jump doesn’t signify his intention to do bodily harm to himself, surely the face-to-face introduction to Bachuta does.

But he vows the opposite.

BY MEGAN MASSEY memassey1848@gmail.com

The concept of our lives being stories has been haunting me lately. I keep coming across it in conversation, in class and in books. The idea is basically that our lives are telling a story whether we realize it or not. In his book, “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years,” Donald Miller decides that what makes a good story also makes a good life, and I think I agree with him. He says that a story in its most basic form is “a character who wants something and overcomes conflict to get it.”

I would also argue that it

takes some depth to make a story good as well. Take “Twilight,” for example.

Most of us would agree that it isn’t the best story ever.

The writing isn’t very good and it lacks depth. Bella wants Edward and thus overcomes the conflict of her being human to get him. And it goes on like that for four novels. End of story. The books that endure with audiences broader than teenage girls contain stories that resonate with us on a deeper level. “To Kill a Mockingbird” is about a young girl coming of age, realizing how cruel people can be but still desiring to find some good and sense in the world. Its message reaches our hearts because we feel those desires as well.

I think as college students, and maybe just as humans, we tend to fall into a rut in

Starvation There is no guarantee the chicken will make it

BY DAN PURDY dbpurdy@go.olemiss.edu

I asked myself the other day if I knew what starvation felt like. The slow decay of the body as it eats itself until there is nothing left, the lack of energy and motivation, time slowing down and meaning nothing without food. I thought about if I knew what that felt like. I tried imagining the Oxford Dictionary’s listings of starvation; I used every bit of imagination I had.

I added adjectives in front of starvation to create abstract meanings: intellectual starvation, cultural starvation, artistic starvation. After all that effort, I still wondered if I had any — even a remote — idea what starvation felt like?

In an uncertain time we generally point fingers whenever we feel starvation, raising our voices so that our opinions are a bullhorn to a mouse point. “Why you can’t cut education, that’s starving a child’s mind,” or “The cause of starvation here is special interest programs, we must cut these,” and so on and so forth, you know the rhetoric. People do get hostile quick whenever they think the table’s going to be empty of their favorite dish, however abstract or literal you want to take that.

So as we go further along with all this starvation (I’m not getting any more specific, that’s your job) happening around us, I look to my peers and see that most of us are expecting to be fed. We sit with mouths open, tongues out, anticipating someone else to cure our starvation. A miracle hand that also wipes the excess off our lips and tells us we’re angels. Aw. As a generation we cannot understand what starvation feels like and as we encounter this numbing, this silent protest from within ourselves at the empty table, I cannot help but wonder why. Why can’t we be resourceful? Why can’t we feed ourselves? Have we been raised so long with too much that we can’t go without luxuries? That we can’t fend for ourselves?

I asked myself if I knew what starvation felt like. I’m fully aware that it’s something I must make-do with, which I also should understand a drought before I accuse a food shortage. I understand that for the shortcomings on the table, I’ll have to make up on my own. I understand that the world is bigger than I am and I think that’s the best way to be prepared for starvation.

Increased traffic on campus is not a new issue to us.

The university has increased funding for the Oxford-University Transit bus program and has modified parking lots and decals. But there is still the issue of pedestrian and cyclist safety.

As an avid pedestrian, I can think of three occasions in which I have nearly been hit by a vehicle — this semester alone. Some may say that I’m the problem. In retort, I can say that I use all the rules of being a pedestrian: look both ways (sometimes twice), use the crosswalk and acknowledge the driver, who’s a safe distance away.

Nevertheless, on previous occasions, the driver has tended to proceed to drive right on through the crosswalk – the one I’m innocently walking in.

On one such occasion, I stopped in the middle of the crosswalk to make a point.

And, to allow the driver to proceed so I wouldn’t lose my legs. Sure enough, she blew through the crosswalk, zooming by a foot away from me. With a distressed look on my face, she knew well enough that I had stopped to

make a point, but she continued anyway.

Frankly, I am scared to cross the street. A chicken, as the saying goes. But we pedestrians shouldn’t have to be scared chickens.

While the university has put a number of things in place to help reduce traffic on campus, there are still serious issues that need to be addressed. Other universities such as Texas A&M University and the University of Washington have large portions of campus closed off to vehicles, providing pedestrians and cyclists a safer environment. The University of Virginia closes off its core of campus to through traffic during the busiest parts of the day.

This would be relatively easy for Ole Miss to implement, especially since commuter parking lots are on the outskirts of campus. Consider closing off the road in front of the Union at the busiest times of the day, leaving it open for OUT buses and university vehicles only. This would reduce the amount of vehicular traffic, and I wouldn’t feel like I’m going to get slammed down each time I step into the street.

ing the ease of walking and biking around campus would decrease our carbon footprint and would encourage physical activity. Plus, the University Police Department should better enforce the speed limit. Start clocking drivers. I’ve watched many of them — they are clearly not abiding the 18 mph and frequently are addressing their cell phones instead of the pedestrians in front of them.

And for the drivers: Using your phone for anything while driving doesn’t work.

We know this; statistics prove it, so let’s not do it.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2009, 1,000 people died and 24,000 people were injured in the U.S. from cell phone-related accidents. That’s much more than the number of people who attend Ole Miss at this campus.

And frankly, doing anything else besides carefully watching the crosswalks while driving on campus doesn’t work either. The Cir-

cle is indeed not a racetrack, and the hill by the Union is not a roller coaster.

Just last week, on Sept. 17, a student texting and driving was charged with negligent homicide for killing a pedestrian and severely injuring another on the campus of Brigham-Young University in 2010. Yes, actually killing someone.

We can’t wait for a pedestrian to get hit before finally putting better policies in place. While administrators should consider the above options, student drivers can also be more aware of the world in front of them while driving. We must all make modifications to create a campus friendly to all forms of transportation.

I know I can’t be the only person who feels unsafe while crossing the streets on campus. Tell me about your near-death incidents. I want to hear from you angry pedestrians.

campus,” Roybal said. “Hotels anywhere close to Oxford have been booked since the game was announced, so I guess this was their only option.”

Roybal prepared for his renters by cleaning the house and putting fresh linens on the beds, then he packed a bag to stay with his sister. The first-time renter admitted that he was a little wary of the condition that he would find his house in when he returned Sunday after the game, but Roybal was pleasantly surprised by how neat his renters had kept it.

“It was almost as if no one had even stayed there,” he said.

“I’m really glad that I rented it and will definitely consider renting in the future, just not to any State fans.”

As nightly rates for weekend rentals continue to skyrocket, some landlords are including clauses in their leases that require tenants to move out of their homes for popular home football game weekends.

This was the case for journalism senior Kayla Tynes when she signed a one-year lease for her large three-bedroom home on North Lamar.

“When I signed a lease with my landlord last year, I had to agree to move out of my house for four weekends in the fall,” Tynes said.

Tynes must be out of her

house by noon on the Thursdays before games and cannot return home until noon on Sundays.

“My landlord sends a maid to clean and make preparations for the renters before they come,” she said. “So that’s a plus. I also make a cut of the rent. I’m not allowed to say how much, but it’s enough to keep me happy.”

Political science major Camp Pittman rented his four-bedroom home on the Square to Texas alumni for $2,100 from Friday at 6 p.m. to Sunday at noon. Pittman returned to find his house destroyed.

“I had a friend walk by the house on Saturday night, and he could see them throwing chairs against the walls inside,” he said. “The sheetrock was damaged, beer was everywhere and the house was mess. It was definitely not worth it, and I will never rent again.”

Oxonians also turned to Craigslist as a way to advertise their homes free of charge. Listings averaged $500-$2,000 per night depending on the home’s proximity to the Square and campus.

Some property owners were more creative with their Craigslist posts, with one listing promising a personal driver for the entire weekend to complement a three-bedroom home near the Oxford airport for $20,000.

Another original listing offered a guided tour through Oxford and the Ole Miss campus, a $200 beverage credit and twonight stay for $2,500.

Tonya Flesher, professor of accountancy and contributing author to “Concepts in Federal Taxation,” said that the Internal Revenue Service allows individuals to rent their personal residences for less than 15 days without being taxed.

“There is no limit on the dollar amount that an individual can collect, only the number of days rented,” Flesher said.

“Locals could potentially collect $14,000 in income tax-free if they rented their home for $1,000 per night for up to 14 nights.

“It’s a great opportunity.”

Becoming Visible: LGBTQ Advocate Group hopes to raise awareness The Pride network celebrates a new name with mixers and meetings to welcome all potential members.

BY MIRIAM TAYLOR miriam.o.taylor@gmail.com

Welcome week has passed, the immediate invasion of the Square is dying down and Oxford residents are beginning to unlock their doors and take back the town.

And the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) community of The Universiy of Mississippi is ready to come out, too.

“This year is about visibility and stability,” said Kaitlyn Barnes, president of the Pride network, formally known as the Gay-Straight Alliance.

Barnes, a junior with what appears to be an inexhaustible amount of what people down South call “get-upand-go,” beams as she talks about the changes being made in Pride.

“The first big change is the name,” Barnes said.

“It’s a place that should be a sanctuary for all kinds of people and the name GayStraight Alliance does not reflect that. It excludes more identities than it includes.”

So after much deliberation, Barnes and her fellow officers went with the name Pride network.

“I think the term network is better because it implies a lot more than just one track,” Barnes said. “Hopefully everyone can find what they’re looking for and if they can’t, hopefully we’re making this an environment such that they can

come to us and tell us that we’re not providing what they need or want.

“I knew a lot of gay people who were getting nothing from GSA. It got to a point where most of our members were just the four of five officers. We are really excited to revamp this organization. It’s really important that the LGBT(Q) community on campus is getting what it needs.”

The rapport between Barnes and fellow officer Nathaniel Weathersby is fast and natural, built off of a shared respect for each other and a fervent passion for the rights and inclusion of the LGBTQ community at Ole Miss.

“It means that we’re going to have to do a lot more work so that we’re not just a discussion group, we’re an education group; so that we’re not just a social group, we’re a service group,” Barnes said. “We really want to incorporate all those elements the best we can so that everyone can find what they need in this organization.”

At the suggestion of many of their members, Pride has already made plans to march in the Mid-South Pride Parade in Memphis this year.

This will be the first time Ole Miss will be represented as an organized group at a gay pride event.

Some ideas for the group include biweekly discussion groups at their meetings, which take place the first and third Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. at Barnard

Hall in the Tupelo room.

Other plans to keep people active and interested range from having mixers in September, incorporating a service aspect to the group, devoting a week to appreciating campus allies and hosting multiple festivities and awareness activities around National Coming Out Day, which is Oct. 11.

“We’re also doing a hate crimes vigil in October on the anniversary of Matthew Shephard’s murder,” Barnes said.

Shepard was a University of Wyoming student who was murdered in 1998. His murder led to the creation of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. The legislation expanded the 1969 U.S. federal hate crime law to include crimes motivated by a victim’s actual or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.

Mississippi is one of 19 states where hate crime laws do not address discrimination based on sexual orientation.

The Isom Center will organize the vigil, which will include several of the more marginalized groups on campus.

“We just want to bring everyone together to recognize the victims of hate crimes in America and across the world,” Barnes said.

“I’m a firm believer we are all in this together, people of color, women, people in the LGBT(Q) community.”

Charger Challenge looks to improve academics and athletics Oxford High School will host its second annual Charger Challenge to increase support for Oxford schools.

FILE PHOTO (ELIZABETH RAINEY) | The Daily Mississippian

BY MARY LIZ CRONK mecronk@go.olemiss.edu

The Oxford Endowment for Public Education (OEPE) and the Oxford Charger Athletic Booster Club (OCABC) will hold the second annual Charger Challenge on Saturday at Oxford High School.

A 5K race and walk will kick off the Challenge at 8 a.m., followed by a 1-mile Fun Run at 9 a.m. The carnival will also open at 9 a.m. and will continue throughout the day.

OEPE has organized several carnival games for Oxford community members of all ages.

Additional activities have been planned this year in hopes to enhance event attendance.

Carnival events include face painting and tattoos, sack races, a soccer shootout, a football toss, baseball pitching with The University of Mississippi baseball players, inflatable play areas, a dunking booth and a broad jump/vertical jump with Ole Miss track athletes.

Last year about 300 people attended the carnival, and this year more than 500 people are expected to attend the event.

OEPE has teamed up with

several extra sponsors in the community to support the Challenge this year. In addition to their support, door prizes will be raffled off from other local businesses.

“We were so excited by the turnout and the money we raised for our schools last year that we decided to partner with the athletic boosters who are putting on the race and fun run to reach more supporters of Oxford’s schools and make the event even bigger and better,” president of OEPE Meridith Wulff said.

Wulff said teaming up with the athletic boosters will help increase support for Oxford schools.

“Both OEPE and the athletic boosters know that by supporting our students, we can make the biggest difference,” Wulff said. “This is a natural partnership to support the Chargers in the classroom and on the field.”

Christian Patton, the head cross country coach, has been appointed by OCABC to help organize the 5K race.

“I am in charge of designing a 5k race course where the race would start and end at the high school,” Patton said. “We have

been meeting for a few months, getting ideas and the agenda together for this event.”

High school athletes, cheerleaders and other Chargers will be helping with activities involved in the Challenge.

“My varsity cross country team will help run the 5K race and will mainly be keeping the time at the finish and making sure the runners have water,” Patton said.

Mary Sybil Byars, a junior on the track and field team at Oxford High School, is excited to help out with the race.

“My teammates and I look forward to supporting the runners during the race, along with helping our school for a good cause,” Byars said.

OEPE hopes that by increasing the number of sponsors and activities this year, the Challenge will allow OEPE to grant more money to Oxford teachers for their classrooms.

In case of rain, the carnival will be held inside the high school and the race will be canceled with registration fees refunded.

For more information about registration and fees for the Charger Challenge, go to www. oxford.k12.ms.us.

Wings will hurt my business as far as wing sales go because people may go there to eat and watch the game instead of here,” he said.

Both Tanner and Gentry said Oxford’s Sunday alcohol laws may affect BWW. “For a lot of sports bars, NFL football on Sundays is a pretty big draw and that will not be as available in Oxford,” Gentry said.

Tanner said he believes his prime location gives him an advantage over Buffalo Wild Wings.

“The thing that makes Oxford great is that people go to the Square to enjoy themselves, and it’s difficult for some bars to stay in business if they are not on the Square,” he said.

“We have a higher premium being on the Square; there’s much more going on on this side of town.”

Another recent restaurant addition to the Oxford com-

QUENTIN WINSTINE | The Daily Mississippian

munity was the Locker Room Sports Bar and Grill, which opened in the fall of 2011 on Jackson Avenue, and it closed within a year.

Tanner isn’t sure whether BWW and the added jobs will stick around until football season is over.

“This is a very seasonal, suitcase town – multiple businesses struggle in off seasons,” Tanner said.

“But if they can keep up with the restaurants on the Square and make enough revenue during holidays, they can survive.”

In Review: ‘Dredd’ lays down the law

BY JOSH PRESLEY

50 Years of Integration Essay Contest

joshpresley551@gmail.com

Anyone who had the misfortune of sitting through 1995’s “Judge Dredd,” starring Sylvester Stallone, probably wasn’t looking forward to the character’s return to the big screen.

Sure, the good Judge is a comic book icon, but that doesn’t always translate well to cinematic success.

So imagine my surprise to find that “Dredd 3D” is not only a great movie, but I’d go so far as to say it’s one of the best this year and one of the best action movies in the past few years.

I’m not kidding.

The movie takes place in a future where America is a wasteland and the only civilization is Mega-City One, a city-state that is home to 800 million people and covers most of the East Coast. The only law enforcement in the sprawling city are the Judges, who act as judge, jury and executioner.

Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is tasked with assessing rookie Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a psychic who has failed all the Judge-tests so far. One thing leads to another and they wind up trapped in a 200-story slum, taking on the local drug cartel.

It’s more like a setup for a video game really, as Dredd and Anderson have to fight their way from level to level taking on various gangs located in the massive building to get to the leader of the drug ring, the nefarious Ma-Ma, played by Lena Headey (who starred in “300” and the criminally short-lived “Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles”).

and hyper-violent but luckily there’s no shaky-cam, so you can actually tell what’s happening. You hear that, “Hunger Games”?

True to the comic character, Urban never removes his helmet and we never see his face.

The Stallone version, where he only wears the helmet in a few scenes, completely missed the point of the character.

Dredd is soulless justice. You don’t need to see his face. Urban shows a remarkable lack of ego in that regard.

Here he’s not a one-liner spewing action hero. He doesn’t even really have a character arc.

Dredd is justice on two legs, and has no qualms about doing what is necessary. He’s closer to Snake Plissken than Rambo.

The rest of the cast is game as

LOTUS

well, particularly Headey, who looks to be having a great time playing such an evil character.

The visuals are breathtaking, and for once the 3D served to make the movie look even better. I can tell director Pete Travis is a big “Blade Runner” fan, as the cityscapes of Mega-City One are simply awe-inspiring, and there’s also a similar thread of dehumanization running through both movies.

I could write several pages on this movie, but what it really boils down to is that this is a great, fun, action-packed, wellcrafted movie experience and I highly recommend it.

Probably not a good idea for a date movie, though.

I give “Dredd 3D” four and a half Karl Urban grimaces out of five.

TYLER JACKSON | The Daily Mississippian

Sophomore offensive guard Aaron Morris blocks for sophomore quarterback Bo Wallace to run through during the Texas game. Morris was named Southeastern Conference Offensive Lineman of the Week, the league office announced Monday.

FREEZE,

Morris is the third player — ­ and second offensive lineman — to claim a weekly award this year, joining sophomore defensive end C.J. Johnson (Week 1) and senior offensive guard A.J. Hawkins from (Week 2).

Injury updates Sophomore wide receiver Collins Moore, who is working through a torn labrum, caught his first pass of the season on Saturday against Tulane. There had been a debate on whether to play Moore or go ahead and have labrum surgery, and it appears Moore will continue to play.

carries. He also graded out the highest of any Ole Miss offensive lineman this year.

“He’s the first lineman we’ve had grade out over 80 percent this year, and Coach Luke is very difficult on his grading system and expects a lot out of them,” Freeze said.

“He’s the most talented kid we have. He is an SEC lineman for sure. We need him to be effective, and he did have his best game.

“When he knows what to do and is comfortable with what is going on, he can be very good.”

long season. As you can see already, we’re getting beaten up some. We’re going to need him, and he wants to play. It looks like we’re going to proceed forward with it.

“Game six would be the end of it. There are several different ways you can go about it, but it looks like we’re going to proceed with him playing.”

According to Matt Ball, the senior associate athletics director for compliance, “The injury has to have occurred prior to the second half of the playing season and results in incapacity to compete for the remainder of the playing season.

“Additionally, the athlete may not compete in more than three contests, or 30 percent of the scheduled contests in order to qualify for a hardship waiver.”

Ole Miss is also hopeful to get injured defensive tackles Uriah Grant and Woodrow Hamilton back, and “maybe” slot receiver Korvic Neat as well.

Quarterback Bo Wallace was also injured Saturday, hurting his throwing shoulder during the game. He’s expected to be ready to play Saturday.

“I think he’ll be fine, but you never know when you’re dealing with injuries to quarterbacks,” Freeze said. “He was moving around yesterday and doing OK — sore like a lot of our kids are. Bo, I don’t know if he’ll be ready Tuesday, but I do expect him to go (Saturday).”

Texas A&M game time announced Kickoff for Ole Miss’ SEC home opener against the Texas A&M Aggies on Oct. 6 has been set for 6 p.m. CT, the Southeastern Conference announced Monday.

tice every day,” Moore said.

“When things aren’t going right, you always want to be a part of it and it makes you feel like you’re more of the team.”

After getting his first real physical contact this past Saturday, Moore said he feels good so far.

“I feel good especially after getting in there Saturday and moving around at a game pace,” he said. “I’m wearing a brace, and I don’t really notice it much during a game.”

Despite missing practice and game time due to the injury, Moore doesn’t feel he has missed too much.

“I don’t look at it as being rusty,” Moore said.

“I’ve got pretty fresh legs since I haven’t been out there as much. I feel great.

It’s just more work in the film room, more so than on the field.”

Freeze said he’s looking for someone to step up at wide receiver opposite sophomore Donte Moncrief, who leads the team with 19 catches for 343 yards and four touchdowns.

lane, Ole Miss completed a pass to 10 different receivers, but Freeze wants to see some consistency.

“It was good to see Vince (Sanders) make a nice catch,” Freeze said. “Ja-Mes (Logan) had a couple of good plays. We just didn’t throw it that much. They had a couple of drops also.

Collins had a big catch. Philander (Moore) had a catch.

We had a bunch of receivers that caught balls. We spread it around pretty good, which should help Donte.”

With Moore back in the mix, it could provide a spark for the Ole Miss passing game. Last season, he caught four passes for 69 yards.

The Madison, Ala. native looks to his return from injury as motivation, especially this weekend against a team from his home state, No. 1 Alabama.

“Rolling in to Tuscaloosa this weekend, there is no pressure on us,” Moore said. “It feels good to know that I’m going to play a role in going down there and taking the fight to them.”

Scholtz ready to play at high level after Davis Cup experience Rebel netter Nik Scholtz recently represented South Africa — his home country — at the Davis Cup in Montreal, Canada. The sophomore feels playing on the big stage has him ready to play at a high level this year.

BY JOHN LUKE McCORD mccordjohnluke@yahoo.com

As a freshman last year, South African Nik Scholtz finished the year ranked No. 14 in the NCAA in singles. His first opponent in the Davis Cup in Montreal, Canada, Milos Raonic, was ranked No. 15 in the world.

Raonic won the match 7-5, 6-4, 7-5, but for the reigning Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year, the experience is what he will take from the event.

“As a kid growing up, it was always one of my goals to represent my country,” Scholtz said. “It didn’t matter what sport, it was an honor regardless. It was a great experience. It meant a lot to me.”

It’s been a busy few weeks for Scholtz, who begins his sophomore campaign ranked No. 5 in singles. But no experience compared to competing in the Davis Cup. “I was kind of like the

rookie,” Scholtz said. “I had to pick up the balls. The guys treated me well, though. It was good for me, actually.

“They would help me. If they saw something in practice, they would help me. It definitely helped my game.”

Scholtz feels that there are aspects of his experience at the Davis Cup that will roll over and help him this year for Ole Miss.

“Playing on the big stage like that and playing guys that are better than college players,” Scholtz said. “It’s always good to play on a high level like that and come back to a lower level and a smaller level. If you can keep playing at that high level, it can make things easier for you.”

Scholtz and his doubles partner, senior Jonas Lutjen, finished the yeear ranked No. 10 in the NCAA and begins the year ranked as the No. 2 doubles team in the ITA preseason rankings.

Their chemistry on the court

IGNACIO MURILLO | The Daily Mississippian

Sophomore Nik Scholtz

is undeniable, as is their relationship off the court.

“Jonas is the first person that I met,” Scholtz said.

“We roomed together my first year. He is a great guy, a great player and a great student. I’m not really sure what he’s not good at. He’s a

hard worker, too. I feel like he’s that way in life.”

The Caledon, South Africa native remembers well his journey to Ole Miss. Associate head coach Toby Hansson was the first person he spoke with, and shortly after that, he began a relationship

with head coach Billy Chadwick. For Scholtz, it was an easy decision.

“Toby was always there,” Scholtz said. “I didn’t take any official visits. I came when school had been in progress for two week and I told Coach Chadwick that I wanted to come. That was probably the best decision of my life.”

There is no doubt that Scholtz has a future in tennis, and he plans to pursue that future. He also plans to stay connected after his playing days are over.

“I would always like to be involved with the sport,” Scholtz said. “I’ve never been the one to want to sit in an office. It’s never been my personality.”

Scholtz will play No. 1 doubles and singles for the Rebels this year, as he did last year. He was one of only nine players to be named All-American in singles and doubles, and the only freshman.

Another primetime opportunity Moore gets the green light Ole Miss is the lone Southeastern Conference team that has yet to play a conference opponent.

That changes Saturday, when the Rebels head to Tuscaloosa to take on the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide at 8:15 p.m. on ESPN.

ALEX EDWARDS | The Daily Mississippian

Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze, 3-1, is preparing for his first SEC game against Alabama this weekend.

BY BENNETT HIPP jbhipp@go.olemiss.edu

Head coach Hugh Freeze hopes Ole Miss’ second experience on primetime television goes better than the first time against Texas in Oxford on Sept. 15.

“Hopefully, we’ve matured some since our last experience in primetime play against Texas here,” Freeze said. “We’ll get another opportunity to do that again.

It’s just another step along the way in our journey.

“We get to play a great

football team with a great staff. They’re the gold standard in football right now.

Being a competitor, which I hope our kids and coach are, you want to play in those environments. It will be a fun environment to play in, and we will get to see where we are in the next step our journey.”

Ole Miss enters this week coming off of a 39-0 win against Tulane, a game that Freeze called Ole Miss’ “most complete” performance so far.

One aspect that will have

to be improved is ball control, as the Rebels lost three fumbles against the Green Wave.

“I was not near as pleased after the game because of the number of balls that were on the ground,” Freeze said.

“After you watch the film and break it down, I did think that our kids had great effort, and we got better in a lot of places. Unfortunately, when you put the ball on the ground, it’s hard to feel good about your game.”

The Crimson Tide rank second in the SEC in turnover margin at plus-10 and allow just over three yards per play defensively.

“The thing is you just don’t see is they don’t get out of position,” Freeze said. “It is very, very rare.

“They’ve got eight (big plays) that they’ve given up, and most of those occurred when the game was well in hand and he had his backups in. They’re just not giving up big plays. They’re always in position and they’re very fundamentally sound. Then you add to that how talented they are, it is very difficult to say they have a weakness.

After suffering a torn labrum during fall camp, sophomore wide receiver Collins Moore returned to action against Texas, but hauled in his first catch of the season against Tulane this past Saturday.

Moore came into fall practice with a highly anticipated role in head coach Hugh Freeze’s new offense, but was set back by the injury.

After missing the first two games of the season, it was unclear whether Moore would play this season, but Freeze believes that the team will proceed ahead and let him play out the season.

“It looks like we’re going to proceed with him playing,” Freeze said. “It’s just a long season. As you can see already, we’re getting beaten up some. We’re going to

need him, and he wants to play. It looks like we’re going to proceed forward with it.

“Game six would be the end of it. There are several different ways you can go about it, but it looks like we’re going to proceed with him playing.”

On Saturday, Moore caught two passes for 25 yards and said he was happy to be back on the field.

“It felt pretty good to know that I’m back into it,” Moore said. “Being able to be out there with my team on Saturday and celebrating with my team in the end zone was a great feeling.”

Moore said that the journey back to health was rough, but it feels good to be back out there to help his team.

“It’s pretty rough sitting on the sidelines and watching them go out there and pracSee MOORE, PAGE 10
