The faculty senate adopted a resolution requesting the removal of the state flag from University grounds Thursday. The vote tallied 41-1 in a meeting that lasted less than 15 minutes. See page 4 for the story.

Two members of the International Keystone Knights were handcuffed and led off campus Thursday night after police found two guns in the members’ vehicle following a pro-flag protest after a faculty senate meeting.

The Knights were protesting in front of Fulton Chapel following the faculty senate vote to adopt a resolution encouraging the University to remove the Mississippi flag from campus.

University police responded quickly to the protest, using physical barricades to separate the PHOTO BY: ARIEL COBBERT protesters from any bystanders.

Moving the statue of a donkey from the top of the Sigma Pi fraternity house is something of a tradition among fraternities, George Haymans, house corporation attorney and treasurer for Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity told The Daily Mississippian.

Earlier this month, that prank turned violent, according to the family of Jeremy Boyle.

Around 4 a.m. on Monday,

Christian Guy Oct. 6, Jeremy Boyle was doing homework. Those who know him say late nights in the dining area with books are normal for him. But then he saw someone wearing khaki pants in the yard.

Brian Boyle, Jeremy’s father, told The Daily Mississippian that when his son went outside to see who was there, he saw four men wearing what he described as ‘pledge attire,’ and one man wearing a black ski mask.

Five Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity members and pledges were

Austin Rice arrested Friday, Oct. 16, and charged with the assault of Jeremy Boyle.

Boyle, a junior accountancy major from Pennsylvania, went to the University Health Center and later Baptist Memorial Hospital with a concussion, several broken teeth, a ruptured eardrum and a lung contusion.

Pi Kappa Alpha president Gunnar Knudson said on Thursday that the fraternity did not sanction this act.

“This is an individual act,”

James Declan Basile

Knudson said. “This is in no way affiliated with our organization.”

The University of Mississippi and the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity have zero tolerance policies for hazing.

“We are proud to have a zero tolerance policy,” Knudson said.

“We stand by that.”

The University’s policy says any students who participate in or condone hazing may be subject to the University judicial system as well as civil or criminal liability.

Robert Boyle, grandfather of the victim, said this matter is one the University must handle.

“This incident, aside from its concussion, broken eardrum, broken teeth etc., is a disgrace to the University and a black eye for fraternities everywhere and a continuing worry for everyone that we allow this kind of brutal mentality to remain on campus and coddle a fraternity that at least tolerates this behavior if

Change the flag, don’t take it down MICHAEL MAGEE

momagee@go.olemiss.edu

As I sat at my desk Tuesday, I was informed of the results from the ASB Senate discussion concerning the removal of the Mississippi state flag. This debate, though cumulating for quite a while, has been one that I have tried to dodge.

I tried to not speak about it for sake of not choosing one side or the other. Not for fear of being ashamed, but it is simply my nature to sit and observe before speaking.

However, I find myself unable to observe any longer. It is time to speak.

The state flag has been smeared, and portrayed as a symbol of hatred and of oppression and nothing more due to a symbol utilized in the upper left hand corner.

But just like a coin, there are two sides to every issue. My argument is not on whether or not the Confederate flag is a symbol of oppression and of supremacy, as I am well aware that it is without even the minutest shadow of a doubt.

But the flag for the state of THE DAILY

Mississippi is not.

I am an African-American student here at the University. I am active in multiple organizations, and I have sat and listened to both sides of this argument. One perspective says the state flag is a symbol of hatred and slavery. Even my own father said that the starred “X” is a nonverbal communication from the state to minorities, saying “I’m not through with you yet.” It is not the state flag that sparks this disagreement and debate, but the Confederate flag. A separate entity.

As the Flagship University for the state, I feel that it is not our decision to remove the state flag from being flown over the campus.

I believe it is our duty to utilize what influence we have to motion for modification of the flag, i.e., a redesign of some sort removing the offensive confederate flag from the corner.

With that being said, I do realize that the ASB’s decision is but a catalyst for the removal and not the final decision of the University, but with decisions still needing to be made I feel it is important that it

be known that ALL students are not in support of this decision.

This university has made tremendous strides for inclusion, and do I believe it still has room to grow?

Yes. We as a state collectively have room to grow, on both sides of the aisle.

I believe that the self proclaimed activists of this current movement to remove the flag are blindly pursuing something that is not responsible for their discrepancies, for the injustices they feel they have been dealt.

They argue that they want change, that they want resolution within the state and equality for its citizens. The argument I present to them is that they are not fighting for that change with the removal of the flag.

They consider this a victory for their cause, which in some facets it may be. “Y Yay! The wicked ole flag is gone!” they might say, but I consider this a loss. What about the countless other flags, the hundreds upon hundreds spread throughout the state?

I wonder, do they really believe that this is a

momentous event to turn the tide? If they are really wanting the change they broadcast and seek, I implore them not to embarrass the University of Mississippi, the place so many of this movement’s supporters have avidly said they love to no end, but to instead fight with the gusto wasted on this endeavor to cause real change.

To make a real difference.

As the Flagship University it is our duty to support and stand with our state. Think the current flag is offensive?

Fight for the modification of the flag, not the removal of it.

Lobby and use your efforts at the capital steps in Jackson, not here on campus where the action of the removal of the state flag could be seen as disrespect for the state we represent, the state we each chose to reside in for the furthering of our education. The flag isn’t new; it has been here.

It was here when most of the out-of-state senators who spoke for its removal made the decision to attend.

This is our state. WE,

continued from page 2 the residents of the State of Mississippi. By fighting for modification of the flag we can make change on a statewide level, not just on a singular campus.

We could be addressing the real issue, not making the flagship university of an already nationally negative stereotyped state look insubordinate.

I am from Mississippi, born and raised. So are my parents, and so on. As a citizen of the state, and as part of the student body, I feel it is our university’s responsibility to support our state. After all, is it not the state that has yielded the many students at this university multiple donations, and facilities?

Facilities like the Thad Cochran Research Center that have made tremendous contributions globally in medical procedures and treatments.

at the flagship university! I am not ashamed to say that I have the current state flag in my room where I type this article now. I wake every morning to see it, clearly displayed next to my national flag.

I have even gone as far as to have accent lights installed around them both, displaying it with pride and respect for my state and country. I support my state, and I support the state flag.

When, and if, the state changes the flag I will gladly support that one too and replace it on the wall with the one that currently hangs.

I am a part of the student body too. I am an Ole Miss Rebel.

And I do NOT support ASB Resolution 15-13.

Letter to the editor:

This rhetoric of the Confederate flag being misinterpreted is baffling.

Quite literally the very first result on Google, the Wikipedia page for the Confederate flag, clearly states the flag creator’s (William T. Thompson) purpose in doing so, as quoted by him, was this: “As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; A white flag would thus be emblematic of our cause. Upon a red field would stand forth our southern cross, Gemmed, preserving in beautiful contrast the red white and blue.”

How is that intent not painfully clear?

It also does not actually matter if one flying the flag did not intend to be racist, because the impact is racist sentiment, regardless.

Secondly, the phrase “doing things the right way, nothing confrontational” found within the article is problematic, because it is telling the victims how to properly fight for their own freedom, yet again placating the struggle and doing things in a way that does not disrupt daily white, privileged life (which obviously needs disruption). Martin Luther King, Jr. said “violence is the language of the unheard.”

It is often the most effective tool in the end for getting a message across - a la the burning of the CVS in Baltimore during the riots surrounding the unjust death of Freddie Gray. Of course then, more white people in media seemed worried about the fact that property was damaged over black personhood -- but the message was pretty clear, I thought.

I agree with taking the flag down, most certainly; however, I also want it to usher in more understanding and justice for the affected communities, not just for the symbolism Michael Magee is a senior of it all. I look forward to a new era political science major from long coming for this school.

continued from page 1 not, in fact, promotes felonious assault,” Robert Boyle said in an interview Thursday. “You must realize that no male or female is safe on campus while you allow these kinds of brutal thugs to roam freely. The University must put the innocent student first and not set up the occasion for these predators to strike again.”

Tucker Cole Steil, a general studies major and Pi Kappa Alpha, was arrested on a felony-level charge of assault. James Declan Basile, a business student, was arrested on charges of assault, hazing and larceny for the theft of the Sigma Pi statue. Christian Guy and Kyle Hughes, business majors, and Austin Rice, an engineering major, were arrested on charges of larceny, according to the University Police Department report.

“They could do this again to somebody,” Brian Boyle said.

“There’s no example that’s been made of this regrettable assault.”

Pi Kappa Alpha members were required to attend a mandatory meeting with the Office Of Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct on Monday, Oct. 12, according to a fraternity student’s email sent to The Daily Mississippian.

They were asked to bring no belongings to this meeting.

Aneisha Mitchell, director of the Office of Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct, said she could not comment due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Jeremy Boyle and Christ Carter, director of communications for Sigma Pi fraternity executive office, declined to comment at this time.

University representative Danny Blanton said the University is preparing a statement.

Faculty Senate adopts resolution 41-1 LANA FERGUSON

thedmnews@gmail.com

The UM Faculty senate joined the Associated Student Body in passing a resolution to cease the flying of the Mississippi state flag on campus in a meeting Thursday night.

The vote passed 41-1 with no debate or discussion.

Faculty Senate Chair Michael Barnett said the purpose of the Faculty Senate is to make recommendations to the chancellor and academic council on policies affecting the University.

“We are not able to make decisions for the administration,” Barnett said.

“Therefore, regardless of the outcome of tonight’s vote, it will be incumbent upon the senior leadership team of the University to ultimately decide what, if any, action should be taken in response.”

ASB Senator and resolution co-author Allen Coon and ASB Vice President John Brahan helped introduce Resolution 15-13 to the faculty senators.

“Our nation has finally begun to have important discussions regarding symbols and images of white supremacy and the Confederacy,” Coon said.

“But this is a conversation we ought to have had in the sate many decades ago. Tonight, we have a unique opportunity.”

Coon said the students, faculty and staff have the opportunity to make the University a safer space for everyone and promote the values of inclusion and equality.

“Together, we can help our

University and our state become what it should be rather than what it is,” Coon said.

“Let’s take a stand together.”

Brahan asked the faculty to help pass the resolution to take down the flag and send a message to the state to fly a flag all Mississippians can be proud of.

The Faculty Senate amended some wording in the resolution in order to make it more inclusive of all campus members being involved with the push for change, rather than just students.

After the ASB passed the resolution Tuesday night in a 33-15-1 vote, multiple organizations publicly supported the removal of the flag including the Staff Council, Graduate Student Council, Critical Race Studies Group, UM Pride Network, the Committee on Inclusion and Cross-Cultural Engagement and the Sara Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies amongst others.

Faculty Senate member and assistant professor of Spanish Heather Allen said the Faculty Senate was one of the last big groups on campus to take a stance on the issue.

“So if our addition doesn’t make the administration stop flying the flag, unfortunately, I think it’s something that’s going to be really hard to do,” Allen said.

Faculty Senate member and Chair of the Department of Management Information Systems Milam Aiken voted in opposition of the resolution.

He declined to comment.

WE’RE PLAYING BASKETBALL

BILOXI BUSINESSMAN BARHANOVICH’S BOAT BLUNDER

Or at least we hope so. 78 basketball officials who make up the Gulf Coast Basketball Officials Association have gone on strike this week for “lack of adequate compensation.” According to WXXV News, officials on the Coast get paid around $40 a game which is near or at the very bottom of pay compared to the salary of other Mississippi referees. The Mississippi High School Athletics Association offered the referees a $5 per game pay raise, while the GCBOA is asking for a $15 raise. No agreement has been reached, but the officials say that they have no plans of backing down. Games start on November 5. Here’s hoping that the ballers will have shot-callers come basketball season.

Try to say that five times fast. This week, the Hattiesburg American reported that a Louisiana company has been charged in the death of a Biloxi businessman. The U.S. Attorney’s Office filed the charge against C.F. Bean LLC of Belle Chasse on Friday. Bean is facing charges of misconduct and neglect of ship officers, which was responsible for the death of Mark Barhanovich in 2012. Barhanovich was 54 when he died after an accident near Deer Island. Reports show that the motor broke off from the stern and flipped into the boat killing Barhanovich. The area between Deer Island and the location of the barge is a popular route for recreational boaters.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING…

Your baby to propose. According to CBS News, in Forrest County this week Michael Miles from Mississippi proposed to his girlfriend in a very unusual way. Miles said that he always knew he wanted to involve his soon-to-arrive daughter in his proposal to his girlfriend Triston Lowery, he just needed help coming up with a plan. Lowery went into labor on Thursday, and Miles took the opportunity and ran with it. Miles made a plan with the nurses to take newborn Lynleigh for pretend testing right after she was born. In reality, the nurse was done with her shift and met Miles’ mother in the hallway. While out of the room Miles met his mother to grab the engagement ring and to change Lynleigh into a onesie with the printed words, “Will you marry my daddy?” A video of the proposal has gone viral.

BILOXIANS BETTER HAVE MONEY

LIZZIE MCINTOSH

memcint1@go.olemiss.edu

In a remix to Rihanna’s popular hit, Biloxi is not playing around in the money department. According to MSNBC, Biloxi has been accused of having a modern day “debtors’ prison.” A lawsuit was filed Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union charging Biloxi for threatening and enforcing jail time if people are unable to afford court fees and fines. It has been over three decades since the Supreme Court outlawed the practice of locking people up because they weren’t able to afford fines. Heightened public awareness of the issue has led to reforms similar to what is occurring in Biloxi. According to the city’s specific lawsuit, at least 415 people were jailed in the past year on charges for failing to pay debts to Biloxi. MSNBC told the story of one man who was unable to pay off his $200 traffic fine in full and then had to spend seven nights in jail before seeing a judge. Similar law suits are under way in Louisiana, Alabama and Washington state.

Yoknapatawpha Arts Council to hold “Yoktail” event JOANIE SANDERS

jgsander@go.olemiss.edu

Biology, bourbon and books are three words not often heard in the same sentence, but the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council will pull them together for its fundraiser this weekend.

The Arts Council is hosting a “Yoktail Party” to celebrate the 10th anniversary of “Square Table,” a community cookbook featuring local Oxford recipes, art and literature. The fundraiser takes place Sunday, Oct. 25, 2015, at the Powerhouse Community Arts Center from 6 - 8 p.m. The Arts Council is showcasing “Square Table’s” addendum called “Yoktails.”

Admission to the event includes a copy of “Yoktails” along with samples of various cocktails.

“What we really wanted to do with this event is just to thank everyone who has gotten us to the 10-year mark and for the money that has been raised in support of the Arts Council,” Wayne Andrews executive director said.

The Arts Council has an annu-

al budget of $479,000. As a nonprofit, the council earns about two-thirds of their money and the remaining third comes from writing grants, memberships and donations, according to Andrews.

Oxford owns the Powerhouse facility and lets the Arts Council maintain it and rent it out for fundraisers, private events, formals and weddings. This rental income accounts for half of the earned revenue and the remaining half comes from ticket sales and events.

“We are lucky in the fact that we get a three-legged stool,” Andrews said. “We get the nice balance in that we lease the building and rent it out for programs and events.

That helps sustain us.”

Additionally, the ticket income from events, the grants and the memberships help.

Although “Yoktails” is not expected to generate as much revenue as “Square Table,” the fundraiser is meant to celebrate everyone who worked hard to make the book happen and celebrate the artists and writers who

contributed, according to Operations Coordinator Caitlin Hopper.

“Square Table” is in its fifth printing.

“We have sold out four times,” Andrews said. “If we sell through this (order), that will be 25,000 books sold.”

Between 5,000 and 10,000 books are printed and ordered at

a time.

“This book sells well, and we know it sells well,” Andrews said.

“We are lucky and fortunate that it was so well put together and does a great job of capturing Oxford.

Every time a new record freshman class comes in, every mom gets a cookbook. We get 4,000 new customers every year.”

According to Hopper, local restaurants submitted recipes for “Yoktails” and there was a contest open for community members to submit their own.

“We approached restaurants that we thought would want to be included individually,” she said.

“Most of them responded.”

For the community contest, there were 24 submissions total and the winner was chosen by a team of experts.

“We actually had liquor professionals,” Andrews said, “I sent (the recipes) to one of the distributors in the state, one of the beer brewers in the state and then a food writer.”

Jason D. Hoeksema, associate professor of biology at the University of Mississippi, won the community contest. Hoeksema submitted three recipes, and his “Sweet Tea Manhattan” was chosen as the winner to be showcased.

“I heard about the contest a few weeks before the deadline and started brainstorming ideas,” he said. “I have been playing around with making cocktails at home for a few years and just having fun with it.”

Hoeksema’s inspiration for the “Sweet Tea Manhattan” began with a bottle of vermouth called Carpano Antica Formula, which was new to his liquor cabinet. “It is just delicious and really complex, and I was trying to build something around it,” he said.

A Manhattan is a timeless, classic cocktail that many people love.

“You can make it with bourbon, which is beloved around here, so that started to sound like it might be fun and appeal to Oxford folks,” Hoeksema said.

“I thought it would be fun to do something with tea, because we love our tea around here,” he said.

“And our bourbon.”

Hopper expects between 75-100 people to attend the Yoktails Party Sunday. Admission includes a $10 minimum donation. “Yoktails” is a 20 page, soft-bound book that costs $10, inexpensive in comparison to “Square Table” at $35. All proceeds from the event support the YAC’s Community Art Grants.

Mason Jars are the supermen of the container kingdom.

These glass wonders are here to save you from the cascades of crumbs onto your red and blue tablecloth.

Each jar contains the perfect single serving of a delicious dessert. Portable and practical, Mason Jar desserts will make catering your Grove tent as easy as pie—Mason Jar pie that is. With three recipes that can satisfy the entire family, you will surely call this Game Day a success.

It’s time to get down and dirty with Mason Jar Dirt Pudding. This playful dessert will

28419

bring out the kid in all your Grove guests.

To create this yummy treat you will need one large box of instant chocolate pudding mix, an eightounce container of Cool Whip, half a pack of crushed Oreos, and a bag gummy worms. Follow the directions on the box to mix together the pudding. Wait a few minutes to allow the pudding to thicken.

Next, put a thin layer of the pudding into the Mason Jars. Then take the remaining pudding, all of the Cool Whip, and two thirds of the crushed Oreos and stir together gently. Add the new mixture on top of the pudding evenly to all of the jars. Sprinkle the rest of the crushed Oreos on top of the layers and place in the fridge to chill for at least thirty minutes. Once chilled, add the gummy worms on top. There is no exact way to place the gummy worms, so feel free to

get creative.

To satisfy all of the Pumpkin Lovers out there, make Cheesecake Bars in a Jar. Serve your tent guests a spoonful of seasonal heaven that is sure to make them feel right at home.

For the pumpkin bar filling, add two cups of pumpkin puree, onehalf teaspoon of salt, one 13-andone-half ounce can of evaporated milk, two eggs, three-fourths cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, one-half teaspoon of all spice to a large bowl. Combine all the ingredients until the mixture appears to have a creamy texture. Set the mixture aside and heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, add 5 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter and 1-and-one-fourth cup of crushed gingerbread cookies. Combine the two and then place in the bottom of the non-stick sprayed jars. Put

the jars on a cookie sheet and cook in the oven for about five minutes.

After removing the jars, immediately fill the jars a little over halfway with the pumpkin mixture leaving room for the cheesecake layer. Place the jars back in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until the center sets. While the jars are cooling to room temperature, follow the instructions on the instant cheesecake box to create the cheesecake layer. Once the jars are cooled, distribute the cheesecake evenly to each jar. Sprinkle a little crushed gingerbread cookie on top and voilà! You have just created a three-layer pumpkin dream.

Everyone has heard of Whiskey and Coke, but has everyone heard of Whiskey and Cake? Get your Grove guests’ taste buds buzzing with this flavorful twist on chocolate cake.

OPEN LATE

Edith runs away to Northern England to marry handsome but somewhat vampiric outsider Sir Thomas Sharpe, played by Tom Hiddleston.

It takes a long time for the titular estate to actually become a focal point of the movie, but when it does, it does not disappoint. As del Toro has stated in previous interviews, the house has a life of its own. The open hole in the ceiling of the manor exposes inside patrons to the elements, red clay oozes from the floor boards and sometimes the walls of the house

ror to haunt the screen during the 119-minute thriller, but that doesn’t mean del Toro should be discredited for what’s actually a surprise on the big screen.

The first part of the movie takes place in 19th century Buffalo, New York, where aspiring young author Edith Cushing, played by Mia Wasikowska, lives with her aristocratic father, played by Jim Beaver (Supernatural fans will know him as Bobby Singer). Edith is the heir of her father’s self-made fortune.

After family tragedy strikes,

Beware of del Toro.

Over the weekend, Guillermo del Toro debuted his highly anticipated horror movie “Crimson Peak”, earning just $13.1 million in the U.S. and $13.6 million overseas, to the disappointment of even the most pessimistic of box office predictions. But that doesn’t mean moviegoers should tip-toe around the visually stimulating masterpiece that dazzled the viewers who dared venture into yet another bizarre world created by del Toro.

Like other horror movie fans, I was initially disappointed in the story line of “Crimson Peak,” which featured fewer scares than I was led to believe existed with the trailer. In fact, the trailer showed almost every single ter-

and the electrical elevator, which represents the heart of the manor, deposits Edith on whatever floor it wants. One cannot forget to that mention the nickname of the house is “Crimson Peak” due to the red clay underneath the house. But, far more than the house, it is its beautiful yet terrifying patrons that haunt Edith from the moment she’s carried over the threshold.

The most chill-inducing and noteworthy role in the movie belongs to Jessica Chastain, who plays Sir Thomas Sharpe’s sister, Lady Lucille Sharpe. Lady Lucille definitively outperforms all of the the other actors, ironically, with her lack of emotion.

Del Toro himself can only count three times in the movie where Chastain’s character blinks. Lady Lucille becomes increasingly cold and controlling toward Edith after she arrives at the house, despite being overtly affectionate toward her brother, Sir Thomas.

The predictable plot is also not something from which to shy away. If you’re familiar with the del Toro style (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy), it’s anything but conventional. “Crimson Peak” was obviously written in a semi-satirical setting reflecting the genre style of the gothic period.

Del Toro warned critics beforehand that the movie is not a gothic horror, but rather a gothic romance with some horror mixed in. From complex character developments to outstanding wardrobe choices, it is obvious the movie was not intended to enter theaters as a cheap scare to earn quick bucks. Unlike the seemingly never-ending low budget line of Paranormal Activity movies being pumped into theaters across the country, “Crimson Peak” gives viewers a thought provoking romance laced with cringe-worthy gore that would earn the respect of many horror aficionados.

Editor to Editor: Texas A&M CARTER KARELS THE BATALLION WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE JOB HEAD COACH KEVIN SUMLIN HAS DONE IN HIS FOURTH YEAR AS HEAD COACH OF THE AGGIES AND HOW HAS HE CHANGED THE PROGRAM? Kevin Sumlin has been a great coach but has failed to win big games, especially at home. He wins in every other aspect. Every year, the Aggies grab top notch recruits and they have arguably the best stadium in the country. Sumlin was able to exceed expectations in the first year he was here and get the program on a path for success, but a lot of that also had to do with the players on the team.

Without those players, Sumlin again has not won a big game at all. He is now 1-7 against ranked teams at home, and was 0-6 coming into the season.

WHAT IS THE QUARTERBACK SITUATION LOOKING LIKE WITH KYLE ALLEN GOING THROUGH SHOULDER PROBLEMS AND TRUE FRESHMAN KYLER MURRAY POSSIBLY MAKING HIS FIRST ROAD SEC START?

stagnant in his first three years starting at cornerback. Now, his improvement is through the roof and he continues to get better. The defensive super stars like Myles Garrett are also playing with a lot better technique and are thriving under this scheme. Since A&M’s defense is not particularly big, Chavis utilizes the team’s speed with his scheme to fly around to the ball and make plays. This team had 15 TFLs against Alabama, and the adjustments Chavis is able to make mid-game are impressive.

Score prediction and analysis: A&M- 24, Ole Miss- 17. I liked Ole Miss to beat A&M a couple weeks ago, but the past two weeks they have been exposed and the Rebels hopes at a playoff are diminished.

The Aggies backs are now against the wall and will be desperate for a win. Ole Miss will most likely not have Nkemdiche, and I think this game will be fairly low scoring, which will shock some people. The Aggies are playing poorly and inefficiently offensively, while their defense is playing sound.

Also, it looks like it might rain Saturday, and for two teams that can’t run the football, that could be a problem.

Allen bothered his shoulder in the middle of the Alabama game.

He appeared to be somewhat okay, as he finished the game. But, that was definitely the worst game he has played in an Aggie uniform.

Nevertheless, Allen will start over Murray, as he should. Before the Alabama game, Kyle played lights out at quarterback and Kyler did nothing to convince anyone that he should be the starter when he played.

IT SEEMS LIKE THE A&M/OLE MISS GAME IS ALWAYS EXCITING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS AT OLE MISS. WHAT IS THE FEELING AROUND CAMPUS WITH THE REBELS PLAY THE AGGIES? WHAT ARE STUDENTS SAYING THIS WEEK? It’s undeniable how exciting the games in 2012 and 2013 were. I truly believe if Texas A&M had any other quarterback, Ole Miss wins those two games. That’s how special Johny Manziel was. I think Ole Miss rattled Kenny Hill early last year and was able to take control of the game. I think the students are excited, especially after the game last week vs. Memphis. With Memphis being in such close proximity to Ole Miss, I think students are really excited to hopefully get the taste of that loss out of their mouth against such a quality opponent.

OLE MISS A FEW WEEKS AGO BEAT AN ALABAMA TEAM THAT LOOKS TO BE UNSTOPPABLE NOW. WHAT HAS CHANGED FROM THAT GAME TO THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS AGAINST MEM-

What happened was Tony Conner got injured. While it’s too simple to simply say that injury was the sole reason Ole Miss has lost two of their last three games, it had a huge impact. Tony Conner did not miss tackles and his blazing speed made it hard for quarterbacks to take advantage of underneath routes. Since his injury that night in Tuscaloosa, the Rebels have been vulnerable to underneath routes and have missed too many tackles to be successful. On offense, the Rebels haven’t been as good on the offensive line and Florida and Memphis have forced Chad Kelly to make quick decisions while eliminating any threat of a running game.

THE REBELS ARE A LOT LIKE THE AGGIES IN THAT THEY ARE NOT TOO EFFECTIVE ON THE GROUND. DOES THIS HURT THE OLE MISS OFFENSE?

Yes. It hurts the Ole Miss offense a lot. It has been proven that to be in the top part of the SEC

you must have a consistent rushing threat. Ole Miss arguably has the best wide receiving core in the country, and if the Rebels were able to have success running the football it would present more one on one match ups for guys like Laquon Treadwell and Evan Engram making the Rebel offense a potent one.

Score prediction and analysis: This Rebel team is confusing, but one thing that has remained consistent under Hugh Freeze is that they play well at home. The Rebels usually score a lot more points in Vaught-Hemmingway as well. I think the Rebels realize this is their last shot. Ole Miss is still in control of their own destiny regarding the SEC West. There was a team meeting earlier this week and the Rebels have alluded to having their “swagger” back. I think this is the week the Rebels come out of their lull and play well in all facets of the game.

Four Downs: Texas A&M

Assistant sports editor Collin Brister (@CollinBrister), football writer Cody Thomason (@thecodythomason), and NewsWatch 99 station manager Browning Stubbs (@ BrowningStubbs)

What do you expect from Laremy Tunsil in his first game back from suspension? Can he make a difference on the offensive line?

With C.J. Johnson returning from injury, what difference can he make at linebacker and how healthy do you think he’ll be come Saturday?

Collin- His return sure won’t hurt. I don’t think Laremy Tunsil will fix all of the Rebels’ issues on the offensive line, but he will be a huge help. He’ll be matched up with Myles Garrett, one of the best defensive linemen in the country, so he’ll get thrown in the fire immediately. I think one of the best things about Tunsil returning is the Rebels’ ability to move Fahn Cooper to right tackle. Cooper has played well at left tackle this season and will be able to use that experience while operating on the other side of the offensive line.

Collin- C.J. Johnson is one tough dude. I think his return could be huge for the Rebels. Johnson is a key cog on the defense and is responsible for getting play calls in for that side of the football. Even if Johnson is not 100 percent, I think him being on the field can provide leadership at the position.

Cody- He will likely be a little rusty.

This will make things difficult for Tunsil, but he should still perform at a high level and improve the entire offensive line tremendously in both run blocking and pass protection. Tunsil’s return means the line can reshuffle and be stronger at the other four spots as well, and Tunsil guarding the blind side will certainly give Chad Kelly more time to throw.

Cody- Johnson will probably not be at 100 percent on Saturday, but he could make a big impact on the defense even playing a small part in the rotation. Johnson’s leadership on the field is something the Rebels have been sorely missing the last couple of weeks, and having him back to make checks and make sure the defense is lining up in the right gaps would be a big help to a defense that has struggled with concentration at times.

Browning- If he is going to play, I don’t expect him to be his usual self. If Ole Miss can get 75 percent of the production that Johnson can give you, I think Ole Miss will be all right. The defense will need him on the field as the Rebels missed 30 tackles against Memphis, according to Freeze.

With starting quarterback Kyle Allen questionable with shoulder issues, do you see him or true freshman Kyler Murray making the start and does it matter who is under center in the eyes of the Rebel defense?

Cody- - I think Allen will end up making the start, but both quarterbacks will see time. The Rebel defense will have their hands full with either quarterback, however. While Allen can do a lot more in the air, where a lot of the Ole Miss defensive woes have been, Murray has outstanding speed and could hurt the defense much like Jake Coker did for Alabama. The Rebels will need to get a lot of pressure to stop either quarterback.

Browning- Whether it’s Kyle Allen or Kyler Murray, I don’t think it’s going to matter to this Ole Miss defense. Both quarterbacks bring elements that this defense has seen before. While Allen is more of a pocket passer, Murray can make electric plays on the move. Having said that, they could cause a lot of trouble to this defense considering the recent struggles of the Ole Miss defense against Florida and Memphis.

The Rebels still control their own destiny in the SEC West. Can this game against against Texas A&M be the turning point in a season that seems to be slipping away?

Collin- If it’s not, I don’t know when it will be. If we’re being honest, the Rebels are out of mulligans. This is a game they have to win if they’re serious about competing for an SEC title. The Rebels have to figure out their third down issues on both sides of the football, but I expect the Rebel team from Tuscaloosa to show up on Saturday.

Browning- This game could absolutely be a turning point in the season if the Rebels can prevail. Johnny Manziel is the biggest nightmare in the Hugh Freeze era as he broke the hearts of Rebel Nation in back-to-back years. Two years later, the same Aggies return to Oxford with similar goals on their mind. Ole Miss is favored for a reason in this game and if there is any fight left in this team, we better see it on Saturday.

Collin prediction: Ole Miss 34 Texas A&M-30 Cody prediction: Ole Miss-42 Texas A&M-34

Rebels look to regain ‘swagger’ for SEC matchups BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE

bsrippee@go.olemiss.edu

Ole Miss is in a vulnerable place right now. Losers of two of their last three and sliding in the rankings, this team has reached a critical point in its season.

The Rebels are hanging off of the side of a cliff so to speak, and they are teetering between being able to crawl back up to safety, or engaging in a free fall to the bottom.

Swagger, a word many players have used this week, is also something this team has lost in the recent weeks and hopes to get back.

“I feel like we don’t have as much swagger anymore,” junior tight end Evan Engram said.

“The thing about this team right now is that we are not gonna sit here and point fingers or make

excuses. We’re all in this together.”

Ole Miss will receive a much needed shot in the arm with the return of All-American offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil who has completed a seven game suspension after an NCAA investigation that deemed him to have accepted improper benefits.

“Any time you have a top five draft pick on the team it definitely helps,” junior quarterback Chad Kelly said. “Everybody knows how good he is. Laremy’s presence is amazing in itself, so knowing the presence he brings and the energy and him not being able to play, you know he’s gonna show a couple people up so it’s gonna be nice.”

Ole Miss held a team meeting on Sunday that Hugh Freeze described as “passionate,” which

may serve as a reality check for the locker room.

“I believe we got our swagger back,” Damore’ea Stringfellow said. “We got our edge right. We know what we need to do, and I feel like we needed that loss, even though it sucks, to get us back in the right mindset.”

That edge Ole Miss is looking for is what helped them jump out to a 4-0 start. It’s what helped them stand tall, and not fold under the lights in Bryant-Denny and emerge victorious in a hostile environment.

It’s that kind of mentality the Rebels will need to regain in order to climb back up, and avoid a free fall in the remaining five games.

“We have to make sure we

match that intensity every time we step out on the field, not every quarter or every once in a while, it has to be every single play,” Kelly said. “We just have to make sure we have to confidence that we had going into Alabama and being hungry every single day on the practice field.”

Kelly knows a thing or two about swagger, too, and it helped him coin the nickname “Swag Kelly.”

“We know we are the best team in the land. I have no doubt about that,” Kelly said “We have to players to do it, the coaches to do it, and as long as everybody believes in that, it’s hard to stop us.”

Kelly said this is a new season going forward.

“We all have looked ourselves in the mirror,” Engram said.

“Reality has set in, and we are ready to attack this week.”

The past is certain. It can’t be changed. The future is what remains to be seen, and this team’s destiny is completely in its control, and they know that.

“We’re going to take it one week at a time. We still have everything under control in the West,” Engram said. “If we win out, we’re still in Atlanta.”

“At the end of the day, we’re all we have, and why not go out there and play balls to the wall every single play? And know you’re the best team out there,” Kelly said. “If you know you’re the best, then you have to go out there and prove it.”

Bell moves to center; Tunsil back on offensive line

CODY THOMASON

csthoma1@go.olemiss.edu

Senior offensive lineman Justin Bell has been a big part of the Rebels front five on the field and as a leader in the locker room.

The line has dealt with adversity all season from injuries to NCAA suspensions, forcing the Rebels into scramble mode and moving certain offensive linemen to other positions along the line. The Rebels looked poised to return to full strength with the addition of All-American Laremy Tunsil until starting center Robert Conyers tore his ACL Saturday against Memphis. Conyers will be out the remainder of the season. With Conyers out, Bell, who is primarily a guard, has been taking reps at center to see if he can help fill in.

“We’ll see how it goes. I just have to trust my snaps. Sometimes my snaps come back there a little too fast, but we worked on it yesterday, and they looked pretty good,” Bell said. “We’ll see how it goes this week in practice.”

Bell had the opportunity to take more reps and give more of his energy toward center this week.

“Right now, with Conyers being down, it gives me a chance to really focus on it and a chance to really work at it and hopefully make a debut at center,” Bell said.

While it would be Bell’s first collegiate game time at center, he said he was used to playing center and has seen plenty of practice there, as well as some prior experience snapping the ball that goes back to when Bell played Pop Warner football while growing up.

“To be honest with you I enjoy playing center. My first position in football was center,” Bell said. “I played center a little in high school my freshman year, so it just comes natural.”

Even with Bell getting plenty of practice at center, there’s no way to truly simulate what he’ll see from the opposing defense on Saturday. However, Bell feels the Rebel defensive line gives him the best preparation he could have.

“I feel like we have the best d-line in the conference, best d-line in the nation, so I’m going up against the best every day in practice. So I’m pretty sure transitioning to the game wouldn’t be too tough on me,” Bell said. “The coaches love the fact that I know the offense, and I know the terminology. It’s just getting the game reps in, so we’ll see how they go.”

Losing Conyers is certainly a blow for the Rebels, but Tunsil’s return helps alleviate some of that lost depth.

“It’s bittersweet. It’s always hard losing a brother. Getting Laremy back, that’s a sweet part of it,” Bell said. “He has that extra little push. He’s another leader that we need up front.”

Bell saw an immediate impact from Tunsil returning to the group in practice.

“He had a lot of energy. He brought a lot of talkative leadership out of the guys. You could just see in his eyes how he’s excited to be back,” Bell said. “We’re happy to have him back.”
