Jeffrey Vitter will be officially sworn in as the 17th chancellor of Ole Miss at 3 p.m. today in the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts. Vitter, who began his role as chancellor in January 2016, said the theme of the inauguration will be “The Power of Higher Education to Transform Lives, Communities and the World.” “I’m very positive that the power of education is the most important tool we have to help people. The most important thing we’re doing in society is funding education,” Vitter said in a recent interview. “I can’t think of any better opportunity to improve (lives) than education.” The ceremony will be followed by a reception for attendees and students from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the Circle.

On the second floor of the students ballroom Wednesday evening, students and faculty gathered in elation or dismay to talk about the 2016 presidential election. The Center for Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement hosted the event, and almost 50 students packed the Ballroom. Jeffrey Bourdon, the main lector of the event, spoke in detail about how Donald Trump made it to where he is today: the president elect. Bourdon began by explain-
ing that the road to Trump’s current position began 500 days ago when he announced his candidacy. He gave eight reasons why Trump went on to win the election: reality star, style, Twitter, trinkets, money, anti-establishmentarianism, media and timing. He said these eight aspects of Trump’s campaign were effective because they created the illusion of cutting out the middleman. “The tactic of ‘cutting out the

middleman’ was effective in Trump’s campaign because it made the public feel like they knew him personally,” Bourdon said. “(They) are what ultimately vaulted him to the top.” When Bourdon finished, he opened the floor to student questions. The lecture itself lasted only 17 minutes, while the questions went on for nearly an hour. One student asked what other Republican candidates should have done to increase their own chances of winning. Bourdon said he believed the

Digital theft is wrong, especially for millennials
ETHAN DAVIS
thedmopinion@gmail.com
Piracy has taken many forms throughout history. It began on the high seas when small, swift boats would attack larger ships quickly, take some loot and leave before help could arrive. Since then, the term and practice have moved to the digital
world. The Recording Industry Association of America reported in 2007 that digital theft costs the United States more than $12 billion and 70,000 jobs annually in addition to more than $400 million in lost tax revenue. Many believe these statistics are inflated and unreliable, but, if they are even fractionally true, piracy is a multibillion-dollar problem. Millennials are the most technology-driven generation and consequently participate in the largest amount of digital theft. That’s us: digital pirates. I do not know about you, but I as a millennial, would prefer not to have thief added to the stereotypes that follow me. Fortunately, this problem is one of the easiest to fix, and there are many excellent reasons we

should. Digital theft is stealing. It does not matter if no physical property is taken or if no one gets hurt. It does not matter if the industry can afford to take a hit or if everyone does it anyway. Stealing is taking what does not belong to you. To put it another way, why should you have any right to your property if you take someone else’s? Furthermore, our generation has more technology than ever before; we depend on it in ways our ancestors never did. How many of us are banking our futures on digital content? In 2014, digitally deliverable services comprised approximately one-sixth of exports in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce, and that figure does not include domestic sales.

Simply think of all the industries that rely on digital products – technology companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Google; trading companies such as Ebay, Etsy and Craigslist; social media companies such as Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr; the list goes on and on. These are the companies that are growing and the ones that we will most likely attempt to work for or with in some capacity. However, digital theft undermines all of those industries. People are not only stealing but also are sabotaging the future on which they plan to capitalize. Pure genius! Aside from the ethics and self-defeating aspects, an enormously practical side exists.

Politics and activism are important parts of our society
LETTER TO CORRECTION THE EDITOR
COLUMN
DANIEL PAYNE

Most students at our university will have to deal with the American political system for years to come. That may dismay some of you, but it is the truth. Though this election season has been brutal, there is light at the end of the tunnel; there is plenty of good going on in our political system today. Rob Bell remarks that “If you shower, you are into politics.” He asks all Americans to consider who gave them access to running water, who makes sure it is safe and who makes repairs to that system. At a time of exceedingly low turnout in elections among college students, we need to acknowledge all the positive roles government fills in our lives so we can possibly shed some of our collective cynicism and take part in the progression of our political process. Water is clearly a wonderful thing the government works to give all the citizens of our nation, but that is just the beginning. We drive on extensive road systems, use modern airports and enjoy safe travel on planes. We know what is in our food
and can eat without much concern of getting sick because of government regulations. If we do happen to get sick, we have emergency healthcare available to us. We have firefighters, police officers and EMTs to keep us safe throughout our entire country. The poor have access to some financial aid, as do many university students. Many minority groups are being supported and protected by the government, not always because it is popular, but because it is the right thing to do. I know almost all of these programs have problems of some kind, and I do not want to dismiss those problems. I simply want to point out how far we have come. There was a time in our country when none of these things existed. There was a time when slavery existed, when women couldn’t vote, when vast numbers of people lived in abject poverty, when the LGBTQ community faced grave persecution and when our average life expectancy was much lower than it is today. So the next time you want to throw your hands up and declare that politics and elec-
tions never result in any good, consider how far we have come. Instead of thinking of how every system is riddled with problems, realize that is a part of a process. No worthwhile fight in American politics happens overnight, and that means we should do our part to move our country forward while acknowledging that movement will be slow. The way we do that is by paying attention to what is going on in our political system, holding leaders accountable through voting and fighting against the pervasive cynicism of the day. Even though this election has been brutal, leading to a vicious mistrust of government in all of us, we must look at the bigger picture and the larger goals we are working toward: equality and freedom for all.
Although I am still in a state of bewilderedness, I can say I have never been so pumped to be a part of the change needed. When I dove into this convoluted world of politics, I knew that I would be a part of some great victories and some painful losses. The battle is an ongoing one for not only Democrats but for all progressives. One in which is only mastered if we learn to turn what seem to be failures into something much more significant. While it may be difficult for us to reconcile the results, let’s not mourn. Let’s organize. The fight is not over, for it has just begun. I will not say that I am a voice for either party, but I will always be a voice for the voiceless! Jarrius Adams is a sophomore public policy leadership and political science major from Hattiesburg.

Anger over Trump explodes; protesters set fires, smash glass ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Demonstrators angry about the election of Donald Trump smashed windows and set garbage bins on fire early Wednesday in downtown Oakland, California, joining protesters elsewhere in the country who swarmed streets in response to the election. Other protests were generally peaceful. In Oregon, dozens of people blocked traffic in downtown Portland and forced a delay for trains on two light-rail lines. Media reports said the crowd grew to about 300 people, including some who sat in the middle of a road. The crowd of anti-Trump protesters burned American flags and chanted, “That’s not my president.” In Seattle, about 100 protesters gathered in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, blocked roads and set a trash bin on fire. In Pennsylvania, hundreds of University of Pittsburgh students marched through the streets, with some in the crowd calling for unity. Campus protests also erupted at the University of Texas, the University of Connecticut, the University of California, Berkeley and other University of California campuses. On Twitter, the hashtag “NotMyPresident” had been used nearly half a million times. The Oakland protest grew to about 250 people by late Tuesday. Police Officer Marco Marquez said

(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) protesters damaged five businesses, breaking windows and spraying graffiti. No arrests were made. A woman was struck by a car and severely injured when protesters got onto a highway, the California Highway Patrol said. Demonstrators vandalized the driver’s SUV before officers intervened. The highway was closed for about 20 minutes. Oakland is a hotbed of violent protest in the San Francisco Bay Area. Two years ago, demonstrators briefly shut down two freeways, vandalized police cars and looted businesses when a Missouri grand jury decided not to indict a white police officer in the fatal shooting of a black teenager in
Ferguson. Nearly 80 people were arrested after a night in 2010 that saw rioters use metal bats to break store windows, set fires and loot after a white transit police officer was acquitted of murder and convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the slaying of an unarmed black man. Elsewhere in California, more than 1,000 students at Berkeley High School staged a walk-out and marched to the campus of the University of California. Students also walked out of two high schools in Oakland, a high school in Boulder, Colorado and a high school in Phoenix, Arizona.
INVESTITURE
continued from page 1 pointed to organize the investiture, including the executive committee, steering committee, traffic, parking, transportation, security committee and others. Of the 14, Provost Morris Stocks is chair or co-chair of three. Stocks said inaugurations are generally held about a year into a chancellor’s leadership. Though the date for the investiture was set in January, Stocks said the majority of the planning began in June. “The importance of the investiture is to recognize the beginning of new leadership and vision at the University of Mississippi,” Stocks said. Much of this planning involved setting the theme and sending out invitations to Mississippi officials, according to Stocks. “I am pleased to join the Ole Miss community at such a special moment in the history of this great public university,” Glenn Boyce, commissioner of higher education, who will be attending the inauguration, said. “Dr. Vitter has a bold vision for the future of the university. I enjoy working with him and know that he understands how to bring the campus together to transform that vision into reality. The future of the university is certainly in good hands.” Mississippi Speaker of the House Philip Gunn will also be in the Ford Center today. “Dr. Vitter was kind enough to extend an invitation to me to attend the event, and I am honored to do so,” Gunn said. The list of attendees include Boyce; U.S. Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker; Mississippi Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves; U.S. Reps. Trent Kelly and Greg Harper; Lafayette County Board of Supervisors President Jeff Busby; IHL Trustees President Doug Rouse; C.D. Smith Jr., VP of IHL Trustees; Rose Flenorl,
chair of the University of Mississippi Foundation Board; Hal Moore, president of UM Alumni Association and two former university chancellors, Gerald Turner and Robert Khayat, according to university communications. “I think it’s a traditional ceremonial event that is steeped in history, and it’s very important to the city and the university,” Mayor Pat Patterson said. Some of these attendees will also speak during the ceremony. Deans and leaders from different schools and colleges within the university will also be in attendance. The inauguration of a new chancellor is a symbolic gesture of installment that gives the university the opportunity to welcome its new leader. Mike Harris, the director of parking and transportation, was appointed as a part of the investiture’s parking committee. He said there will be a few changes to regular parking for the duration of investiture day. The small lot next to the Ford Center, the lot across the street from the Ford Center and the East Music Parking Lot will be closed. University Avenue will be closed from 2:30 to 3 p.m., and the Circle will be closed to vehicles from 2 to 6 p.m. Classes will be canceled from 2:15 to 5 p.m. Attendees or those not able to make the ceremony can also sign the guestbook and write Vitter a letter on the investiture’s website, inauguration.olemiss.edu. The ceremony will stream live at inauguration.olemiss.edu and on the Ole Miss YouTube channel. The inauguration will also be broadcasted live on Channel 22.1 and Channel 13.1 on campus cable and Channel 99 on MaxxSouth cable. The Daily Mississippian will produce a 20-page special edition on Friday, and Newswatch will provide live coverage and an investiture-centered show.

Class on Wikipedia strives to improve collaboration HANNAH SIMMONS thedmnews@gmail.com
Wikipedia tends to get a bad rap, but professor Robert Cummings’ course “Writing with Wikipedia” is trying to change that. The course focuses on learning the ins and outs of how the site works. It also uses individual and team assignments, where students create or help improve a Wikipedia page. Cummings said he thinks it is important for students to learn more about Wikipedia because he believes it provides an opportunity to collaborate over a network and to work on knowledge building projects with people who have different perspectives. The projects students work on help their knowledge of Wikipedia and help them learn how to work with others in the classroom and within the Wikipedia community,

continued from page 1 role of age was underestimated in this election. He pointed out that both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are 45 years old, while Trump is 70. “Young candidates made young mistakes,” Bourdon said. Another student asked if corruption played a role in the results. Bourdon answered yes. He said voter corruption has taken place in every election across history, dating all the way back to 1824. Bourdon said there were two problems with public opinion polls during this election. He said polls focused on suburban and urban areas, not rural areas, and that there were a number of Trump supporters who lied about their voting affiliation.
where they receive feedback from people who regularly work on the articles. The Wiki community makes sure information on each page is accurate and meets standards in order to remain on the site. “One way I think that students benefit is that they get a sense of how a massively complex networked project can collaborate and work toward a goal,” Cummings said. “Wikipedia is one of the best ways to learn how to work with other people, and having this class for students is a great preparation for them when they join the workforce after graduation.” Cummings said the process of uploading articles onto Wikipedia may be messy, but it might be the way to solve bigger problems in the future. “If your generation is ever going to solve the really tough problems my generation is leaving you, such as climate change, it will be through

massive collaboration,” he said. “I think Wikipedia provides a vision for those kinds of collaborations.” Writing department professor Andrew Davis said he
believes Wikipedia embodies the original spirit of the web. “The web was envisioned as a space for the free and open exchange and generation of knowledge,” he said.
Davis said he sees Wikipedia as a place for people to collaborate with one another and be able to share knowledge with peers, something the web was designed to do from its inception. Writing Center Director Brad Campbell said some instructors might not have the desire to teach about Wikipedia since it is such a complex system, but it is important for students to learn about these different types of digital resources. “[It’s] a much more challenging pedagogical intervention, for sure,” he said. “But certainly a worthwhile attempt to engage students and enhance their understanding of the research and writing practices that inform knowledge production, knowledge availability and knowledge accessibility.”
Former student Purvis Cornish shared his reaction to Tuesday’s vote. “Absolutely devastated. I was devastated. I was concerned. I watched my friends doubled over in tears, in fear. Just fearful,” Cornish said. “My immediate reaction upon realizing that Trump was going to win was disappointment. I think it became apparent that the rights of minority groups like the Black Lives Matter community, to so many Americans, are secondary issues,” freshman international studies major Rebecca Kinsey said. Graduate student Madeline Stewart voiced concern about women’s rights.

‘Joanne’ offers a few hits for a few misses ALBUM REVIEW:
HANNAH WILLIS
hlwilli2@go.olemiss.edu
The amount of enjoyment you derive from Lady Gaga’s newest album “Joanne” depends on you forgetting it’s her voice entirely. Her newest album is so different from her past work it seems almost fake. “Joanne” is a whole new persona from a singer who hardly shows the audience who she really is. Lady Gaga, while immensely talented and incredibly well trained vocally, has always relied on performing for much of her success — and not just on the stage. Every public appearance, interview, music video and performance has been used to create a specific persona. “Joanne,” despite several very enjoyable songs, comes off as another performance. Growing up in Texas, I learned that those who talk the most about “worn-out leather” (“A Million Reasons”) and cowboys (“John Wayne”) probably know nothing about real Westerns or proper boot care. The initial single of “Joanne” is regrettably “A Perfect Illusion.” “Illusion” takes an average chorus and replays it until you hate Taylor Kinney for ever dating Gaga in the first place. Skip the first sin-
gle entirely and jam out now to “Grigio Girls,” the perfect girls’ night anthem about independence, uncertainty and, yes, wine. The album’s namesake, Joanne, Gaga’s aunt who died at just 19, shows up as the older and wiser friend of “Grigio Girls’” youthful narrator. Her aunt makes another appearance in what I believe is the best song on the album, “Joanne.” Gaga’s voice is filled with emotion beseeching her aunt not to go and then accepting the inevitability of her death. “Joanne” will resonate with you as a college student, concentrating on themes of anxiety about the future and fear of losing the past. Its chorus, in true Gaga style, is repeated within an inch of its life, but it is so beautiful I didn’t really mind. If you can get over a girl born on the Upper East Side and raised on the Upper West wearing a pink cowboy hat and singing about John Wayne, you will love this album. Gaga has written and co-written some great songs. It’s a little unbelievable coming from the Queen of the Little Monsters, but I forget it’s her and put “Joanne” on replay. The best part of this album is the use of pop synth and beats with melodies common-
ly associated with country music and the twang Gaga puts in her voice. Rob Sheffield for Rolling Stones compared “Joanne’s” Gaga to Shania Twain, and honestly, after listening to “A-YO,” I think she could do a killer “Man! I Feel Like A Woman.” Gaga excels at joining two opposing music genres. “Come to Mama” is the perfect example of Gaga’s new style, allowing the listener to actually hear the beauty of which her voice is capable. It was sometimes muffled in past albums. The collaboration between her and the one and only Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine results in the forgettable “Hey Girl.” The song is better suited for Welch’s range and doesn’t really complement Gaga’s voice at all. If you’re pressed for time, feel free to skip their vocal mismatch. There isn’t much there to miss. “Come to Mama” and “Sinner’s Prayer” are both really nice songs if you can get used to the new Gaga and her blatant appeals to the country crowd (Yes, I am that hung up on her leather references). “Diamond Heart” is the closest to her previous albums with its witty lyrics and a heavy bass beat. Rather than representing Gaga’s growth as an artist,
COURTESY: LADYGAGA.COM
think of “Joanne” as her response to the lackluster sales of her experimental album “Artpop.” Being strange for strangeness’ sake can only bring in the big bucks for so long, and a meat dress rots eventually. What “Joanne”
might not bring in earth-shattering revelations, it delivers in good old plain fun. So after a horrible or wonderful day, crank “Joanne” all the way up and dance alone in your bedroom. Hairbrush microphone required.
ALBUM REVIEW:
I’m Glad It’s You leaves us wanting more with debut SAM COX
smcox2@go.olemiss.edu
I’m Glad It’s You, an eclectic alt-punk group from Redlands, California, released its debut album “The Things I Never Say” with 6131 Records this past Friday. Just two years ago, the band released its debut EP “June” and since then has made giant leaps in its journey towards stardom. After touring constantly and releasing a second EP along the way, we finally see all the band’s hard work paying off in its speaker-blasting debut. “The Things I Never Say” opens up with a melodic and serene guitar instrumental before breaking out into a sporadic build-up of hammering drums and swelling guitar riffs. “So this is progress” are the first words muttered by lead singer Kelley Bader, and they are a striking statement that rings true for the whole album. One of the album’s main focuses is progressing forward in life, whether it be from the person you once were or moving on from someone in your past.
COURTESY: AMAZON.COM
Another topic the album holds strongly to is nostalgia. Songs like “Communion” and “Curbside” bring about a sense of overpowering nostal-
gia for high school, the friends and significant others that you don’t speak to anymore and the innocence of being young. “Curbside,” a song which first
appeared on the band’s debut EP, sees Bader boasting the words “It was a life that I stole from late nights on curbsides, and I can’t seem to ever get it back.” Lyrics like these, which form such powerful images of buzzing streetlights and childhood memories, litter throughout the entire album and urge one to keep searching for that same nostalgic feeling with each song. Bader sings with the same nonchalant murmur that is familiar for fans of Joyce Manor, except I’m Glad It’s You could be considered the more mature and orderly sibling of Joyce Manor. This is more evident on “Time Capsule,” the second to last song on the track, which slows the album down and lulls you through an intimate and heartbreaking landscape of sounds accompanied by a dazzling flute-ish synth part. After “Time Capsule” trickles off, the band bursts into one last triumph, the fan favorite, “Daydreams,” before closing the album off. When you find yourself at the end of the album, when the last note rings out and you’re left with silence, you’ll find
yourself searching for just a little more than you were given. That’s the one fault in “The Things I Never Say.” The band keeps the same consistent fervor of a southern California punk band and offers memorable lyrics and catchy tempo changes, but there’s this spark that you find in all of your favorite albums that just doesn’t seem to ever flicker on this release. Nonetheless, the album is one that insists on being listened to and is a fine fit in the 6131 Records lineup, which includes artists such as Julien Baker, Culture Abuse and Dads. “The Things I Never Say” is an excellent debut from I’m Glad It’s You that showcases just how much the band members have grown since their first release two years ago, and it indicates just how much more they are going to continue to grow. It’s one giant milestone for a band that is just now getting its feet on the ground, and “The Things I Never Say” is more than plenty to hold you over until the band releases its next best thing.

Ole Miss Campus Recreation is gearing up for its third annual Rebel Trail Challenge on Saturday. Explained by Adam Livingston, a campus recreation office worker and former challenge volunteer, as a “Mini warrior dash,” the race hosts six obstacles over a 5-mile course. Teams of two are required for the race. According to Alison Walker, a first year graduate student and co-director for the Rebel Trail Challenge, the event started in 2014 as a partnership. “Shannon [co-director] and the Veteran and Military Affairs met up… to create an event pairing the two to get
obstacles each year. “Every year, it has gotten harder and harder,” Livingston said. “They’ve definitely bumped it up.” Assistant Director Shannon Richardson, however, said that while the course is more difficult than its first two years, participants of any skill level are encouraged to attend. As the only partner race of its kind in Oxford, divisions are created among participants based on their experCOURTESY: CAMPUSREC.OLEMISS.EDU tise levels. “We … offer the different divisions, so if you’re more of an elite athSouth Camlete and you’ve done these pus Rail Trail types of things before, then off Chucky Mullins you can choose that category, Drive.

In addition to its goal of getting the community outdoors, the partnership event also uses its proceeds for student scholarships. The Rebel Trail Challenge is open to the public, with an added youth category for ages 10-15 for the first time this year. The race is separated into seven divisions ranging from elite men to youth. Over the course, participants will cross a wooden scaling wall, low crawl, spider web, rope climb, tire traverse and water jug carry.

Rebel basketball hopes to build chemistry in season opener SAM HARRES
thedmsports@gmail.com
With their Friday night season opener just around the corner, the Ole Miss Rebels are ready to make a statement. Following an exhibition win over Morehouse College, the Rebels, led by Andy Kennedy, look to build upon previous success and make a run at the NCAA tournament. Junior Cullen Neal, a 22-yearold transfer from the University of New Mexico, believes this season has the potential to be special. “I love how everything’s coming together,” Neal said. “I think we have a bunch of unique pieces and a bunch of different pieces that will help us be a great team.” Getting those pieces to fit together, however, won’t happen overnight. With just two returning seniors, getting everyone up to speed on Kennedy’s game plan is a top priority. Neal, who led New Mexico in assists last year, knows that as with any young team, there will be growing pains.
“We did have a lot of turnovers the first game, I think we had 20 turnovers exactly,” Neal said. “Definitely taking care of the ball is something we’re going to work on.” The problem with turnovers did not go unnoticed by the Ole Miss staff. Returning for his 10th season at the helm of the Rebels, Kennedy acknowledged that nerves will be a problem that plagues his younger players throughout the preseason and into regular season play, but that the turnover problem will smooth over with time. “We got a lot of guys handling the ball. We got a lot of guys that are probably going a little too fast. We had two guys with three (turnovers) each. Breein had three at eight minutes, and Carlos had three at 18 minutes. Two freshmen had six of our 20,” Kennedy said. Looking ahead to UT Martin on Friday, the Rebels cannot afford to make nearly as many mistakes as they have in the preseason. Kennedy is aware of the threat the Skyhawks possess.
Marcanvis Hymon goes in for a dunk in a game earlier this semester. “We’ve won 41 games in the last two years; they’ve won 41 games in the last two years, and they made the postseason,” Kennedy said. “They return a pretty solid nucleus from a group that’s had expectations of winning at their level.” With a full roster at his disposal, barring Nate Morris and his shoulder injury, Ken-
nedy is ready to keep experimenting with different lineups and rotations until he finds the right fit. One thing he can’t control or experiment with is the environment. Playing at the brand new Pavilion in front of thousands of screaming fans can be quite the crucible. “You go to the Pavilion and put a few fans out there and

the lights and everything. It speeds guys up and gets them out of their comfort zone. So we’ll see a lot of that on Friday night when, obviously, the stakes are raised,” Kennedy said, “It’s just part of maturation of a group, and especially with how many new guys we have, it’s a work in progress.”

Rebel defense prepares to face new Aggie quarterback CODY THOMASON
thedmsports@gmail.com
In one week, the fortunes of both Ole Miss and Texas A&M changed dramatically, as the Rebels’ quarterback Chad Kelly went down with a season-ending knee injury, and the Aggies quarterback Trevor Knight suffered a season-ending shoulder injury. Instead of a matchup between two of the SEC’s most dynamic quarterbacks, we’ll see which team can field the best replacement quarterback in a battle of the backups on the historic Kyle Field. While it’s still not known who will go under center for Ole Miss, Texas A&M will play junior Jake Hubenak, who completed 11 of his 17 passes for two touchdowns and one interception in the second half of the Aggies’ loss to Mississippi State. To prepare for the new passer, Defensive Coordinator Dave Wommack has been studying film of last year’s Music City Bowl, in which Hubenak started, as well as games he’s rotated into late, such as last year’s loss to the Rebels. “It appears that he’s a pretty darn good thrower, and he probably doesn’t run it quite as well as Trevor Knight,” Wommack said. “They do some really nice things in the run game (…) so you don’t know for sure what they’re
going to do with this quarterback.” Wommack was impressed with Aggies star wide receiver Christian Kirk who already has seven receiving touchdowns on the year along with three punts returned for touchdowns. “They use him all over the place. I mean, he’s got 61 receptions on the year, almost twice as many as the second receiver (Josh Reynolds) and then those two guys, they line them up on the same side a lot of time, and they use (Kirk) in the running game quite a bit as well,” Wommack said. “He’s just a great football player.” The offensive line will also present a challenge for the Landshark defense. “They always have a really nice offensive line, all these NFL guys, so they’re a typical, good SEC line,” Wommack said. Texas A&M typically runs a passing-heavy offense, but this year they’ve been much more balanced. Part of that is owed to Knight’s running ability, which will certainly be sorely missed for the rest of the season, but the biggest reason for the change is the play of true freshman running back Trayveon Williams. Williams has been one of the best backs in the SEC this season, rushing for 804 yards and six touchdowns with an outstanding 7.4 yard-per-carry average, along with catch-

The Rebels will need good play at the linebacker position if they hope to contain Williams, something they’ve struggled with all season. Senior Rommel Mageo will start at middle linebacker for the second consecutive week.
“He did some good things, and he graded higher than any linebacker’s graded, so we’ll use him, but we have to use a combination of guys,” Wommack said. “We’ll use Willie (Hibbler) more at Stinger.”

Honesty and competitiveness How Chris Malloy has built Ole Miss Golf
BRIAN SCOTT RIPPEE thedmsports@gmail.com
Chills ran up Chris Malloy’s spine as he sat in the backyard of his South Tampa home overlooking the waters of Pirate’s Cove. It was June of 2014, and he’d just received a phone call from Ross Bjork. Malloy had just accepted a position to become the Ole Miss men’s golf coach. “This is a dream come true,” he thought. But two weeks prior, he’d received a similar phone call from Bjork saying he would like to talk to Malloy about Ole Miss’ head coaching vacancy. A chance to live in Oxford and coach at his alma mater where he spent his playing days. It was a no brainer, right? Not exactly. “I was really happy with where I was, and a lot of people think it is a no brainer to go from University of South Florida to an SEC school in Ole Miss and especially your alma mater,” Malloy said. “But that may be the case in football and some others, but I had just built that program from 200th in the country to a top 10 team. I really liked Tampa.” Malloy was four years into his job as head coach of the Bulls. He had built that program from the ground up. He was the 2013 Big East coach of the year and was a regional playoff loss to Oklahoma away from leading his program to the NCAA Tournament Championship rounds. He had a house on the water in South Tampa. He could drop his boat in the water and catch some fish on a whim. Why leave? Even on the plane ride up, he didn’t have any real intentions of leaving the palm trees and sunshine. “We will see what they have to say, but I am probably not going to take this job,” Malloy said. “But I want to make sure for the sake of Ole Miss and my love of Ole Miss that they hire the right guy.” That changed soon after the plane touched down. “Anyone that has sat in a room with Ross Bjork gets it,” Malloy said. “Once you hear him talk and hear his vision, you want to be on his team. He sold it for me.” Malloy’s wife accompanied him on his trip. She fell in love with Oxford on her first extended stay. In just a few hours, it now seemed like the right move. It felt like home. Brutal honesty and a winning
mentality were the tools Malloy used to build a power in Tampa, and it was something not present in the Ole Miss program. “He was kind of intense at first, but that is his just his personality,” senior Noah West said. “His big thing was trying to change the culture of Ole Miss golf.” It hadn’t won a tournament since 2012 and hadn’t been to the NCAA tournament since 2011. Malloy had a vision, and knew that honesty and a mentality change was the way to capture it, and he did so from day one when he met the returning players. “The first meeting was pretty intense. He told us that everybody didn’t think much of our golf team and we weren’t very good and that the only things we had in common were the shirts on our back,” Ben Wolcott recalled. “That made me mad and made me want to work.” Malloy told them he’d grant them their release and that they could go elsewhere. Or they could stay and be a part of history, as he called it. “That sealed it for me,” Wolcott said. First things first, he needed his team to get tougher. They needed to compete. “I want these guys competing from the time they’re done stretching,” Malloy said. He wants them playing. In college golf, five players play per tournament. He has them qualify for every single spot in each one. “He wants us to work on our short game and wedges,” West said. “But he really wants us out playing a lot. That’s the best form of practice and really where you learn how to score.” “He preaches competition. We qualify a lot. He likes to say ‘get after each other.’ Whatever we are doing, he wants us competing,” Wolcott echoed. It didn’t come easy. The transition was tough. The Rebels made the NCAA Tournament his first season but finished 12th in the regional. A tumultuous fall season followed, capped off by a 12th out of 17 finish at the Makai Golf Club in Hawaii. The results weren’t happening. He gathered his team on a small hill next to the practice putting green on the property and laid on more brutal honesty. He told them changes would be made if the results didn’t come. “They sat us down on the property of the golf course and had a

They laid out what was going to happen in that spring season and moving forward,” Wolcott said. “That was kind of a wake up call to where we were and where we wanted to be.” It was nothing new to them, though. Malloy has been honest and open since day one. “It’s changing the mindset. I think that is what you do first and foremost,” he said. “You have to change the locker room and the way those guys think.” He handles everything out in the open. When things need to be said, they shut the locker room door and address it as one. “Once that door opens, we walk out as brothers,” Malloy said. What a difference a year can make. Last week, Malloy’s team gathered on that same property, on that same golf course. This time, they were raising a trophy and celebrating their third and final win of one of the most successful fall seasons in Ole Miss history. The Rebels steamrolled the field by 22 shots. Their other wins came by six and 15 strokes. Ole Miss didn’t just win; it dominated. Three wins in five tournaments was enough to leave Malloy speechless. “I have coached some pretty good teams. I have never been a part of something like this fall,” Malloy said. “I hate to use this word, but it was magical, in terms of what they had done. It was really special.” He struggled for words as he faced his team, which had capped off a memorable semester in style.
The mentality had changed. His group had bought in. They were tougher. “I think that mindset has changed,” Malloy said. “They have gotten a little confidence and don’t get too wrapped up when things don’t go your way.” He credits West and Wolcott immensely in helping build the winning product now in front of them. “They’ve seen it all. They were here the year before I got here, and these last two years have gone through this transition,” Malloy said. “I have challenged them a lot and they have bought in. They have changed their game. They have changed their lives and, man, you see both those guys now are playing the best golf of their lives.” They’re also having the most fun they’ve had on a golf course in their lives. Malloy’s first big recruiting land, and one of the hottest players in the country, in sophomore Braden Thornberry – who has won three times individually this fall season – has helped too. “He’s won three out of five tournaments this fall, and the other two he was in the top five. That’s crazy,” West said. “If you look at it – every time he has won individually – those are the tournaments he has won. It has been cool to watch.” Ole Miss is nationally ranked and even more so relevant. Malloy’s phone has blown up from people across the golf world, taking notice of what’s being built in Oxford. One coach made it particularly clear just how well the Rebels are playing.
“I think I have a really good group of players, and we are losing to you by 30 shots right now. That should tell you something,” he told Malloy. There are still plenty of reminders of where they came from, and a look around the clubhouse would tell you that. Ole Miss is behind in terms of modern SEC-caliber golf facilities but is catching up in that department, too. A new team clubhouse along with upgrades to the practice facility are on the horizon to reward its success. It makes for a difficult recruiting pitch at times, but that doesn’t deter Malloy. “You can go to Alabama and LSU and some of these schools that have done it, or you can come here and do it just as easily and walk around here like a kind and be the first,” Malloy said. It’s working. On Wednesday, the Rebels inked three more players in Matt Liddon from Yazoo City, Cecil Wegener and Charlie Miller from Jackson. Malloy’s vision is bigger. He sees no reason why Ole Miss can’t be a national power. He’s a long way from where he wants to go, but happy with the trajectory that it is on. “I think this is just the beginning. I think we are only going to get better. I think you get better as you get deeper,” Malloy said. This 2016 fall season has put the Rebels on the map. Wolcott and West will graduate after this spring, and new faces will come. But they know they’ve helped cement the foundation. “It was really cool and one of the most special things that I have been a part of,” Wolcott said, “To sit there at the same place, same golf course and receive the trophy and end on three wins in the fall semester was pretty special.” It wasn’t the easiest decision for Malloy to come back to Oxford. It wasn’t the sexiest of jobs, and he likely could have gone elsewhere. But he envisioned the future that day in his Tampa backyard, and now he’s living it. “It’s hard to put into words. We are about to get back into an important recruiting time, and what we have done and the attention that it has gotten from people that know golf and how special this is,” Malloy said. “I really think it is going to open the eyes of some of the elite recruits throughout the nation.”
