It was a feeling that had not been felt in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium for nearly a year.
The Ole Miss football team rebounded from a lackluster sec-ond quarter and scored 35 unan-swered points in the second half for a 49-27 win against Central Arkansas to begin the season 1-0 for the first time since 2009. The Rebels rushed to the student sec-tion to share in the moment – the program’s first home win since last season’s 42-24 win against Southern Illinois in the second week.
“We’re thrilled to get a win,” Freeze said. “Wins are important, no matter who they’re against or when they occur. We’ve been in this long enough to know that, and the joy that’s in that locker

The phrase “put your money where your mouth is” has be-come a reality at campus dining locations.
This year, Ole Miss Dining Services introduced the new Plus 1 addition to the meal plans. Plus 1 is designed to allow students to use one meal, valued at $7, a day at any dining loca-tion on campus.
“We piloted the (Plus 1) pro-gram at the end of the spring semester last year to orientation leaders, and it was very well-received,” said Jonathan Parker, resident district manager of food services.
However, is it as well-received
by the students and the staff?“Right now, everyone is still
getting used to it,” said Mi-cah Manscoe, senior account-ing clerk at the ID Center. “At the beginning of the semester I would say it had more of a negative effect because it was a change with the cashiers, too. They needed to learn the pro-cess of the registers, and the students needed to learn exactly how to use it.”
Chick-Fil-A cashier Latreca Pegues said she does not have a problem with the new plan but the food is very expensive in the Union.

Are students getting more or less with the new meal plans?

When Sidna Mitchell, then Sidna Brower, entered her senior year at Ole Miss as the editor-in-chief of The Mississippian in the fall of 1962, she was determined to do her best to fulfill her role with the newspaper.
“I had come into the year concerned with making The Mississippian profitable,” she said.
The student newspaper had become daily the pre-vious year under editor-in-chief Jimmy Robertson. The university put a lot of money into the press and into hiring outside help, ac-cording to Mitchell.
“I was thinking more about that than the possible integration at the univer-sity.”
Mitchell remembers be-ing “really astounded” at what she saw of the riot that took place in the late hours of Sept. 30 and early hours of Oct. 1. She attended a football game that night in Jackson before heading back to Oxford and witness-ing the riot.
“The marshals were sur-rounding the Lyceum,” she said. “The whole night seemed unreal for a lot of reasons.”
The first day after the ri-ots, Mitchell said she had to

Outside of Hurricane Isaac coverage, the news and so-cial media was saturated with commentary and foot-age from the Republican Na-tional Convention this past week in Tampa, Fla.
Prominent Republicans took the the stage to rally support for the party and convey their goals for the fu-ture of America. Party con-ventions were originally the last determining factor for establishing who would be the candidate for the respec-tive parties in the general election.
Today, candidates are de-cided well before the con-ventions, leaving it to be more of a formality.
This begs the question: Is it worth it?
Costs for these conven-tions are upward of $100
million. Each. To put that in perspective,
in 1980 the cost of the con-ventions combined was $16 million.
Some of the funds come from appropriations by Congress, meaning a hefty price tag for taxpayers who may or may not know their money is going toward this. Reuters reported that in the 2004 election year, private interests accounted for about 77 percent of the total cost, leaving taxpayers with the rest of the bill.
In tough economic times, these expenses seem exces-sive.
At such a high cost, they must have an important pur-pose, right? Well, it’s safe to say they do not have the purpose that was originally intended.
Thanks to 24-hour news stations and Internet sourc-es, we’ve now peeled back
the political curtain and get up-to-the-second informa-tion on the candidates.
If the candidate misspeaks, the media is there. If the candidate falls behind in the polls, the Internet updates his ranking. If a prominent figure endorses someone, it was in yesterday’s paper.
The candidates and the American public know who will get the nomination long before the conventions takes place.
The votes of the delegates and superdelegates merely formally declare who the of-ficial candidate is in a flashy, expensive way.
Before we write off the conventions as an unneces-sary expense, however, let’s consider that although their original purpose has been diminished, they might still be important.
American voters have be-come increasingly apathetic
toward politics. These conventions get
conversation going, whether over controversial agendas that spark debate or over inspiring speeches, such as Ann Romney’s, that spark pride in voters who are oth-erwise critical or simply don’t care. For all the pomp and circumstance, it draws people in, getting them to care if only for just a mo-ment.
We should have social me-dia filled with talk relating to politics and the future of our nation.
If we are truly a nation “for the people, by the people,” the people need to be in-volved and invested.

Tweeting has become sec-ond nature for some of us. You tweet what your friend wore to a party the night before, you tweet what you wore to the same party and then you tweet who looked better.
Tweeting has become a vital part of our social, personal and professional lives. Next to Facebook, it’s that all-important action that keeps you connected and pertinent in this digital world in which we live.
Forgetting to tweet is right up there with forgetting to feed your cat for some of us. It’s become a ritual as natural as eating, and cer-
tainly less caloric. It’s the challenge of self-editing our angst and turmoil of emo-tions into 140 characters or less. Suffice it to say, to the tweeters majority, it’s im-portant.
And what you say in your tweet is free speech. You can say Clint Eastwood was awesome at the Republican National Convention, or you can write that (in those 140 characters or less) the empty chair he talked to for most of the night had more to say.
The point is, it’s a venue that should and does (for the most part) remain neutral when it comes to content. But that freedom to voice our opinions, thoughts and ideas is an area that is main-tained and fought for by Twitter’s chief lawyer, Alex-ander Macgillivray.
An article published in The New York Times recent-ly introduced us to the man
who tries to keep those lines of communication open and receptive to just about any-thing we might want to say.
Macgillivray’s quote from the NY Times article says it all: “We value the reputation we have for defending and respecting the user’s voice. We think it’s important to our company and the way users think about whether to use Twitter, as compared to other services.”
Recently Macgillivray and his legal team went up against a court order to pull an Occupy Wall Street pro-testor’s Twitter posts. The week before that, per the ar-ticle, they clashed with Indi-an government officials who were trying to take down accounts they considered instigative.
The article states that Macgillivray’s attempts aren’t always successful. And that sometimes what he tries to do conflicts ter-
ribly with another essential component of Twitter’s exis-tence: to be profitable. And because that component will be highlighted should Twitter go public and have to start playing footsie with the governments of the dif-ferent countries in which it operates, it could really get sticky. According to the ar-ticle, most Twitter users live outside the United States and the company is opening offices overseas.
Of course, most of our tweets aren’t exactly of the magnitude of someone seeking to incite the Indian government. But it is nice to know that if we tick off some high-ranking official by tweeting, we have an ad-vocate out there who will fight for our rights to do so.

On national identity

‘That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.’

We all remember these first fine words spoken by Neil Armstrong as he was the first person to leave a foot’s impres-sion on the dusty surface of the moon.
It was a sad moment in the hearts of not only Americans, but worldwide, to hear of his passing on Saturday, August 25, 2012 at age 82. He had bypass surgery and was re-covering well, but died due to “complications resulting from
cardiovascular procedures,” ac-cording to his family.
We value him as a hero, named a moon’s crater after him, but surprisingly, Arm-strong always avoided the me-dia spotlight. He considered himself just doing his job and was “chosen under the circum-stance to lead Apollo 11.”
After escaping death twice: first on Gemini VIII with co-pilot David Scott, and second when he served as U.S. Navy pilot, flying 78 combat missions during the Korean War, he was chosen to hold the position of commander to lead Apollo 11 on the mission to land the first man on the moon.
The United States of the 1960s was torn between the Civil Rights Movement and the
Cold War. Nonetheless, JFK achieved his goal of “landing a man on the Moon and re-turning him safely to Earth” at 10:56 p.m. ET on July 20, 1969, with Neil Armstrong, at age 38.
After spending 2 hours and 19 minutes on the moon col-lecting samples, Armstrong, Edwin (Buzz) E. Aldrin, Jr., and Michael Collins landed in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969 to be welcomed in the arms of fans.
Later, Armstrong talked about how he was treated dif-ferently by his coworkers once he landed back on Earth. He wanted to be treated like an or-dinary man, so let us take a mo-ment to remember him in that manner.
Following Apollo 11, Arm-
strong resigned from NASA in 1971 to become a professor of aeronautical engineering at the University of Cincinnati.
After Armstrong’s death, his family said: “For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.”
We should learn from this statement. Armstrong almost died twice, but he survived. He didn’t become prideful in his achievements and chose being a professor over a celebrity.
Dr. James Hansen of Auburn University, author of “First
Man: The Life of Neil A. Arm-strong,” said, “Everyone gives Neil the greatest credit for not trying to take advantage of his fame, not like other astronauts have done.”
Janet Armstrong, Neil’s first wife, responded, “Yes, but look what it’s done to him inside. He feels guilty that he got all the acclaim for an effort of tens of thousands of people.”
So even when we accomplish something, we shouldn’t let our pride lead us to believe we are superior to others. We are all equal regardless of our differ-ences. We should honor and thank Armstrong for his contri-butions to the realm of science.

In my last column I wrote about the imperative to look more closely at our notions of history, but what about our no-tions of the present?
The result of our last election has been read as signaling a shift in American racial reali-ties since the civil rights era. Yet large groups of Obama sup-porters seem to have flagged in their enthusiasm, disappointed by change that hasn’t measured up. But Mitt Romney himself has got to know how undesir-able a candidate the Republi-cans have come up with. Even my hometown conservative crowd feels dicey about him, and the largely mainstream Christian right wing can’t seem to quit fidgeting over his Mor-
monism and economic distance from blue-collar reality.
To expand Colbert’s parody of the former Mass. governor, it’s almost as if both candidates are basically running on the platform: “I’m not the other guy.” In contrast with both the intensity of the civil rights era and the uncommon excitement of 2008, this election seems much less about voting because you are compelled, than vot-ing because it’s compulsory — a duty that we’ve embraced.
The malaise I sense here has me thinking of the ways we create to think of ourselves as Americans outside of politics.
In this and next week’s col-umn I’m going to be writing about this “national imaginary.” That is, according to think-ers like Benedict Anderson, a nation cannot exist unless its members — the vast majority of whom will never meet each other — maintain an imagined idea of what it means to be a member of that nation.
“The United States” isn’t just
sea to shining sea and the peo-ple between, but a vision we are taught in school and expe-rience through politics and cul-ture. My gambit here is that the political side is taking less and less of a role in our personal ex-perience of this national imagi-nary.
For instance, at the same time that the elections are gearing up, the NFL season is — for all intents and purposes — already underway. Televised preseason games are given attention simi-lar to that of regular season games (according to ZAP2it numbers, it beat NASCAR in the ratings last week for Earn-hardt’s sake!), and when the Cowboys play the Giants next Wednesday the networks will have 17 weeks of regular season ratings to look forward to.
We could say similar things about the electoral preseason. A Washington Times article from Jan. 27 noted that this year’s first Republican Prima-ry debate clocked 5.4 million viewers to football’s 5.8 this
past weekend, but football has a longevity to its numbers and a strength in its hold on the imag-inations and desire of a national audience to which Capitol poli-tics cannot compare.
Think about it: When is the last time someone in the bar said to you, “Man, I’m so stoked, I just signed up for C-SPAN and set my TiVo to record some serious election coverage!” This fascination is borne out by shows like “The League,” which provides a glimpse of fantasy football dedication that doesn’t seem fantastical if you know people who play.
And this is a different dedi-cation than that which we’ve given in the past — in fact, it’s a type, almost a species, of dedication that was quite liter-ally inconceivable prior to not only the Internet but also the social media infrastructure that would allow stat updates and Rivals message board convos to happen so effortlessly in real time. This building of commu-nity in a virtual space actually
facilitates a different national imaginary since I am aware of watching, competing and shar-ing fairly apolitical values with a gigantic audience.
I’ve just written about football today — but these transforma-tions occur across the spectrum of social involvement from sites like Pinterest, to shows like “Breaking Bad,” to blockbuster films offering a rich and varied content shareable by a national audience. I’m fascinated think-ing about the other ways we’re inventing to create our local, regional and especially national identity. Because as much as the Luddites complain about people on cell phones, or tele-vision rotting your brain, we each have to (or at least most of us choose to) continue find-ing ways of building affiliations with our neighbors and fellow citizens that we find useful and meaningful.

“The university is respected, but Ole Miss is loved. The uni-versity gives a diploma and re-gretfully terminates tenure, but one never graduates from Ole Miss.” This quote from alumnus Frank Everett hangs on the wall in the Student Union.
In the midst of tough econom-ic times, The University of Mis-sissippi has been incredibly suc-cessful in raising funds through private donations, so much so that the 2012 fiscal year was the second-best fundraising year in the 165-year history of the uni-versity. John Festervand, major gifts officer for the Meek School of Journalism and New Media, said part of the reason the do-nations have increased can be attributed to alumni who seek a way to give back to the school that has given them so much.
“So many of our alums give to so many areas,” Festervand said. “They’re very, very gener-ous. They just enjoyed their ex-perience here at the university, and they want to make sure that the students now are getting the same sort of experience they had.”
Recently, an alumnus who graduated in 2000 donated $25,000 to the university and journalism school to create an endowment. Other former stu-dents give back with “planned gifts.” In these cases, some alum-ni actually write Ole Miss into their wills.
“Those are the gifts that will surprise us, Festervand said. “We’ll have gifts come in that they will not have told the uni-versity about.”
On some occasions, an anon-ymous planned gift can be as much as a million dollars, which is given to the university once that alumnus’ estate is settled.
University of Mississippi Foundation President Wendell Weakley said that what keeps the donations coming in and the fundraising amounts at such high levels is the overall success of Ole Miss in many fields.
“Our donors are clearly re-
sponding to the many positive trends we are seeing through-out the Ole Miss community,” Weakley said. “Our increasing enrollment and numerous acco-lades from media publications and our peers are giving our do-nors confidence that Ole Miss is a great investment. Private sup-port is paying dividends, and these dividends spur continued investment.”
It’s the sense of community that is formed in the Ole Miss family that keeps people invest-ing in the future of the university. Today’s students are tomorrow’s investors, and Ole Miss will continue to thrive with a unified base of alumni support.
The future of fundraising
and they are getting charged for cheese, tomatoes and lettuce cups, and they gripe about it,” Pegues said. “If it was left up to me, hey, they pay enough for the sandwich, that’s enough,” she said.
Other cashiers, like Sheena Anderson, who is also a cook at Burger Studios, said part of the problem is the confusion of the Plus 1.
“I just have to explain to them that it’s a meal you can use one time only,” she said.
Anderson, who also ex-plained that the Plus 1 doesn’t roll over, feels the total prices of the meal plans are too expen-sive.
“You’re losing money,” she said. “I don’t think that’s right.”
Every meal plan has in-creased its total value in price from a year ago. Last year, the All Access plan was $1,300, and now it is $1,350 per semester. For some, this jump isn’t steep, but how is the money distrib-uted?
“Meal plan prices have gone up,” Manscoe said. “The stu-dents, I would recommend that they use their meal plan every day, if they get one, to get the full value of the meal plan. The price per meal has pretty much remained the same, but the price per plan has gone up.”
Manscoe said the additional $50 grants more meals because of the two meals per eating pe-
riod, but the Plus 1 does not roll over.
“To get your full value of the meal, you would need to use it every day,” Manscoe said.
Manscoe said Plus 1 averages out to 107 meals for plans, such as the Rebel 25 Plus 1 and the Rebel 50 Plus 1. If a student were to use only half of his or her Plus 1 meals a semester, he or she would lose up to $375.
The Rebel 100 Plus 1, which was originally the 200 meal plan last year, is $1,349 – $1 less than the All Access plan. Last year’s price was $1,250.
Parker said the main differ-ence between the All Access plan and the Rebel 100 Plus 1 is that with the All Access plan, students have unlimited meals in the Johnson Commons East. Both plans have the Plus 1 op-tion.
“It really boils down to dining habits, preferences and where students will eat the majority of their meals,” he said.
Parker also said the Rebel 100 Plus 1 is similar to the number of meals of last year’s 200 meal plan. For students who select the Rebel 100 Plus 1 but prefer to eat in the Union over the JC, the $99 increase is for a Plus 1 meal that does not roll over.
Psychology senior Jimmel Cartwright said she does not have a meal plan this year be-cause she does not like the op-tions for upperclassmen.
“Not only are they limited, they do not give you the same benefits all around campus without actually losing some-
thing, to give something up,” Cartwright said. “Last year I had the Rebel 50 at the JC, but you could only use it at the JC, and the JC does not always have the best meals.”
Cartwright also said she doesn’t like that the new Plus 1 expires every day.
Despite some opposition, Parker said upperclassman meal sales have been on the rise.
“Over the past four or five years, we have seen an increase in voluntary participation in up-perclassmen,” he said.
Chandler Voger, a mechani-cal engineering freshman, is among the students who enjoy the benefits of the Plus 1 plan.
“It’s the only meal plan I know, but I do like it; you’re guaranteed to get one meal a day,” Voger said. “I think it’s fine that it covers the majority of the cost, but what I don’t like is when a meal is $4 or $5 and it’s $2 left over.”
Students who purchase these meal plans just want to know that they are receiving the best value for their money.
“You have to wonder how much money are you actually saving when you buy one of these meal plans,” said Derrick Martin, a biology junior using the Rebel 50 meal plan. “A lot of students don’t use all the meals that they really have, and they end up having a whole bunch of meals left over that they can’t even use. $1,300 for a meal plan, that’s a lot of money for food.”

donations to the university are at the second-highest level in school history, and the generosity of alums is a major factor in the increase.
“(Alumns are) very, very generous. They just enjoyed their experience here at the university, and they want to make sure that the students now are getting the same sort of experience they had.”

go through three checkpoints to get from the Kappa house, where she was living, to the journalism building.
“There were many army troops all over; it was not what you expected on a uni-versity campus.”
Mitchell referred to that time as “rather challenging” because, in 1962, female stu-dents had to be in the dorms by 11 p.m.
“I not only had classes and tried to put out the paper, but it had to be done by 11 (p.m.), and then I had to get back to the Kappa house.”
Shortly after the riot, the newspaper ran a special edi-tion that included Mitchell’s editorial titled “The Violence Will Not Help.”
“It basically said, ‘Don’t riot, boys,’” she said.
Mitchell’s campus life wasn’t exactly smooth after her editorial was published.
“I was confronted almost every day with someone making rather nasty com-ments or spitting on me or just making life uncomfort-able,” she said.
Mitchell added that, along with the student body, some of her own staff weren’t very supportive.
“I was shocked to find out that some of my staff, my business manager in particu-lar, were against me.”
Mitchell’s circulation man-ager also refused to deliver the special issue of The Mis-sissippian. She admitted that the times definitely would’ve been a lot easier for her had she had the support of her entire staff. She said she was incredibly grateful for those who did support her, but it was still tough.
“That was a pretty trying
time,” she said. “They had their jobs because of me, and then to find that they had turned around.”
Mitchell said some “who most loudly opposed” her were those interested in poli-tics.
“They felt by being against me that it would help them win an election.”
Mitchell never met James Meredith when he enrolled at Ole Miss during her senior year.
“Dr. Jim Silver – who was very close to me – he and his wife were also friends with James Meredith, and they ad-vised each of us (newspaper staff) to not have any contact because it would probably just create more problems for each of us.”
Mitchell graduated from Ole Miss in May 1963 and did not meet Meredith un-til the 40th anniversary of integration. Looking back, Mitchell considers the media coverage to be one of the big-gest wrongdoings of the time.
“It was a real eye-opener in terms of the media,” she said. “Particularly the broadcast media was more interested in getting something rather sen-sational than actually telling the truth of what was hap-pening.”
She said she still considers that to be one of the “great disappointments in journal-ism today.”
“It made me rather cynical, even though I continued in journalism,” she said.
The 50th anniversary of integration is just weeks away, and Mitchell said she thinks “tremendous progress has been made.” Especially, she added, “over the years, in terms of who the student leaders have been, editors of The Mississippian and just the number of black and mi-nority students.”
MITChELL, continued from page 1
This is an appeal to the entire student body and to anyone con-cerned with the present situation. Not only do the students chance for-feiting their education by participating in riots, but they are bringing dishonor and shame to the university and to the State of Mississippi.
When students hurled rocks, bottles, and eggs the federal marshals were forced to resort to tear gas to back off the crowds.
When outsiders show their objections in the form of violence, they are seriously injuring the students in their at-tempt to continue their education. As a student,
I beg you to return to you (sic) home.
This is a battle be-tween the State of Mis-sissippi and the united States government; the university is caught in the middle. The Civil War was fought one hundred years ago over almost the same issues and the united States of America prevailed. The federal government is once again showing its strength and power to uphold the laws of our country.
No matter what your convictions you should follow the advice of Governor Ross Barnett by not taking any action for violence. Blood has already been shed and
will continue to flow un-less people realize the seriousness of the situa-tion.
Whatever your beliefs, you are a citizen of the united States of Amer-ica and of the State of Mississippi, and should preserve peace and harmony of both gov-ernments.

Freeze pleased with season opener, looks ahead to uTEp
Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze met with the media Monday afternoon for his weekly press conference, and the first-year head coach was pleased with his team’s effort Saturday but knows there were some mistakes that have to be fixed before next Satur-day rolls around.
“Thrilled to see our kids excited the other night with a victory,” Freeze said. “It’s been a while since some of them experienced that, and it was a very fun locker room to be a part of.
“It was a great atmosphere last Saturday night. It’s a memory for a lifetime for me, and it’s one that I’ll treasure forever.”
The Rebels practiced Sun-day, and Freeze said that it was a productive practice and that the players seemed to “enjoy the day.”
“Hopefully we corrected some mistakes we needed to correct going to this week’s game,” Freeze said.
Defensive line better than it appeared
Ole Miss struggled to con-tain the Central Arkansas run-ning game during the first half Saturday, and it appeared that the defensive line was getting pushed back and beaten by the Bears’ offensive linemen.
After watching the tape from Saturday, Freeze said that wasn’t the case.
“They were really doing a good job in the first half even though it didn’t seem like it,” Freeze said. “I thought they played extremely well after looking at the film and getting the grades.”
Three of the players Freeze singled out for playing well on the line were defensive ends C.J. Johnson, Cameron
Whigham, and Jason Jones. The defensive tackles “were about the same,” Freeze said.
The Rebels rotated in a large number of defensive linemen Saturday, and while that’ll be cut down eventually, Freeze expects that to contin-ue against UTEP.
“We played six interior guys and six defensive ends, so (we) played a lot of guys up front,” Freeze said. “We can’t always play 12 guys, but I anticipate it being the same this week.”
Looking ahead to UTEPAs Ole Miss was polish-
ing off a 49-27 victory over Central Arkansas, UTEP was hanging in with the fourth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners Saturday night in El Paso, Texas. The Miners hung close with Oklahoma before the Sooners pulled away late for a 24-7 win.
“I was hopeful I would put on the film and see a team that maybe isn’t playing with great passion, but that could be farther from the truth,” Freeze said. “Coach (Mike) Price has got those guys play-ing with a lot of passion and heart, and they got after one
of the best teams in our coun-try last weekend.”
The Miners recorded three sacks and ran for 207 yards against Oklahoma.
“We’ve got our hands full with them, particularly with their defensive line and their skill positions,” Freeze said. “They’ve got a tremendous tailback, and their defensive line is very, very talented. It’s going to be great a challenge.”
The tailback that Freeze referred to is Nathan Jeffrey, who was named Conference-USA Offensive Player of the Week after rushing for 177 yards against Oklahoma and returning a blocked punt for a touchdown.
C.J. Johnson earns SEC weekly honor
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Af-ter a strong season-opening performance against Central Arkansas, Ole Miss sopho-more C.J. Johnson was hon-ored as the Southeastern Conference Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week by the league office Monday.
The defensive end from Philadelphia, Miss., notched six tackles and a sack in help-
ing the Rebels defeat the Bears 49-27.
With Ole Miss up just one score in the fourth quarter, Johnson’s sack ended a UCA drive and provided momen-tum that resulted in three straight Rebel touchdown drives to seal the win. He led an Ole Miss defense that lim-ited UCA to just one second-half score.
It is the first SEC weekly honor of Johnson’s career and the first for a Rebel since Bobby Massie was named Of-fensive Lineman of the Week after the Louisiana-Lafayette game in 2010.
Injury notesFreshman defensive tackle
Issac Gross – who missed most of the game after getting “kneed in the calf,” according to Freeze – was back at work-outs on Sunday. Senior run-ning back Randall Mackey battled an illness during Sat-urday’s game and is feeling better after receiving medi-cine on Sunday.
Junior running back Jeff Scott, who missed Saturday’s opener with a lower back in-jury, is still not pain free but should be “ready to go” on Saturday, according to Freeze.
Sophomore wide receiver Collins Moore -- who is try-ing to play through a torn la-brum -- “will be let loose” dur-ing practice this week to see how he responds. A decision on whether he needs surgery will come no later than after next weekend’s game against Texas.

volleyball wins two at Xavier
SATURDAY: OLE MISS 3, TENNESSEE TECH 0
After a hard fought three-set victory Friday night against Xavier, the Ole Miss volleyball team (3-3) dispatched Tennessee Tech 3-0 (25-10, 25-12, 27-25) on Saturday in its final match in the Xavier Invitational in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Despite it being just a three-set match, senior right side hitter Allegra Wells reg-istered a season-high tying 13 kills. Similarly, senior setter Amanda Philpot aver-aged 11.33 assists per set to finish with 34 assists for the match. JFRIDAY: OLE MISS 3, XAVIER 2
After a 3-0 loss Friday morning, Ole Miss volley-ball head coach Joe Getzin challenged his team.They responded Friday evening.
The Rebels fought off match point in the fourth set and went on a crucial 6-1 run midway through the fifth set to grab a thrilling 3-2 (22-25, 25-18, 14-25, 26-24, 15-8) victory over host-school Xavier in the Xavier Invitational in Cincinnati, Ohio.
FRIDAY: MAR-QUETTE 3, OLE MISS 0
The Ole Miss volleyball team jumped out to early leads in each set against Marquette, but could not close them out as it fell 3-0 (21-25, 21-25, 25-27) to open play in the Xavier Invita-tional in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Junior outside hitter Kara Morgan led the Rebels (1-3) offensively with 15 kills, three shy of her career high set against Tennessee last season. Senior setter Aman-da Philpot passed out 31 assists to go along with her seven kills.

room right now is special. The kids are having a blast in there, and it’s been a while since they’ve been able to rejoice, so I’m very excited for them. I’m very, very happy for our young men and our coaches and the Rebel Nation that we can start the season 1-0.”
Freeze said his first game at the helm was emotional for him and his family.
“I was a bit overwhelmed by the Walk of Champions,” Freeze said. “Humbled, I think is the word. I know it might be hard for me to put it into words. You so badly want to deliver when the people are excited about a hometown boy being here or whatever it is. ‘I sure want to give them something to cheer for’ is what I was thinking going through.
“Seeing my family was a little emotional at the end of the walk there. They were more emo-tional than I was, but after the game, to be 1-0 at The Univer-sity of Mississippi is a great feel-ing.”
Ole Miss put up 14 first-quar-ter points, but that was it for the half, and Central Arkansas took a 20-14 lead going into halftime.
The Rebels got things started at the 10:48 mark in the first quarter when sophomore quar-terback Bo Wallace scored his first touchdown as a Rebel on
a 25-yard run. Wallace was the leading rusher for the Rebels, finishing with 82 yards on 13 carries and a touchdown.
After Central Arkansas tied the game at 7-7, Ole Miss fresh-man running back Jaylen Wal-ton found the end zone for the Rebels from 10 yards out. It was Walton’s first carry in an Ole Miss uniform.
Central Arkansas dominated the second quarter and scored twice on a two-yard run by Ter-ence Bobo and a 62-yard recep-tion by Al Lasker from quarter-back Wynrick Smothers. In the second quarter, Ole Miss was forced to punt twice, missed a field goal and had another field goal attempt blocked.
Going into halftime down six, Freeze said the team made a lot of adjustments on defense and came out and executed better in the second half on offense.
“(Defensive coordinator)
Dave (Wommack) made a lot of adjustments defensively,” Freeze said. “We didn’t make a lot offensively. It was just execu-tion. The times we didn’t do well in the first half, we had some blown assignments up front and some gap schemes that allowed some run-throughs. That gave us some negative plays, and we didn’t protect very well there at the end of the first half.
“Offensively, we didn’t do a lot. We hit them for two touch-downs. Other than that, that’s the only thing we did offensive-ly.”
A new team emerged from the locker room for Ole Miss in the second half, and the Rebels went on a tear, scoring 35 unan-swered points in the second half and only allowing seven points to Central Arkansas in the sec-ond half.
Ole Miss regained the lead from Central Arkansas with
6:40 left in the third quarter on a fumble recovery in the end zone by junior Ja-Mes Logan. The play started when Wallace took off from the pocket and attempt-ed to leap over a pile of players at the goal line and fumbled. Logan was in the right place to jump on top of the loose ball.
It wasn’t long before the Reb-els scored again, with Wallace finding sophomore wide receiv-er Donte Moncrief for a 53-yard pass touchdown on arguably the best play of the game. Wal-lace squeezed the ball just past the defender into Moncrief’s hands.
“(Bo) told me before the play started if the safety came down he was going to come to me,” Moncrief said. “Once I saw the safety go down, I was like, wow, he is actually about to throw this ball. Once he threw it, it was a pass interference, but I kept my eye on it and made a big play.”
Moncrief had a huge game for the Rebels, finishing with eight catches for 104 yards and a touchdown.
In the third quarter the Reb-els outrushed Central Arkansas 81-0, while outgaining the Bears 97-35 through the air. Ole Miss entered the fourth quarter lead-ing 28-20.
Success continued into the fourth quarter for Ole Miss. Ju-nior Barry Brunetti, who split time with Wallace at quarter-back, found senior tight end Ja-mal Mosley from 11 yards out to extend the Ole Miss lead to 15
and put the game away for the Rebels.
Wallace’s found junior wide receiver Philander Moore for a 25-yard touchdown, his second passing touchdown of the game. Brunetti finished the scoring for the Rebels with an 11-yard touchdown run.
On the day, Wallace finished 20-of-24 for 264 yards with two touchdowns and one intercep-tion. Brunetti was 5-of-7 for 66 yards and a touchdown. After the game, Freeze announced Wallace would start Saturday’s game against UTEP.
“Bo started this game, and he’ll start the next one,” Freeze said. “But again, I’m not ready to say that Barry is out of it. Barry did some real nice things, too, but certainly Bo had a great game, and I’ve always known that he’s a gamer.”
Defensively, redshirt fresh-man linebacker Denzel Nkem-diche led the team with eight tackles, followed by senior line-backer Joel Kight with seven. Nkemdiche, Kight and sopho-more defensive end C.J. John-son each recorded a sack and junior safety Frank Crawford recorded an interception.
The Rebels will face off with UTEP next Saturday in Oxford. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. and will be televised on Fox Sports South.

It was a matchup of two un-defeated teams as the Ole Miss women’s soccer team wel-comed the Texas Tech Lady Raiders to the Ole Miss Soccer Stadium Sunday night. With a backdrop of lightning, the Lady Rebels defeated Texas Tech 2-0.
This was the first test of the season for Ole Miss head coach Matt Mott’s squad to see how they measured up against a high-quality opponent.
“It was big for us,” Mott said. “This was the first (opponent) that I think is an NCAA (tour-nament) team, and we know that we can compete at that level.”
The win gave Ole Miss a record of 6-0 – the best in the SEC – as Texas Tech fell to 5-1 on the year.
Both teams came into the game playing solid defense as they had only allowed three goals combined this season. It was all about who was going to blink first, and, fortunately for Ole Miss, that was Texas Tech.
Junior forward Mandy Mc-Calla scored an unassisted goal off a free kick in the 11th minute to put Ole Miss on the board early. The score was McCalla’s Southeastern Conference-lead-ing 6th goal of the season.
“(It was a) physically taxing game,” McCalla said. “I feel like we stuck with them the en-tire game.”
The Rebels kept the pressure on Texas Tech throughout the first half as they kept the ball on the Red Raiders’ side of the field and outshot them 10 to 4.
The second half saw Ole Miss sophomore goalkeeper Kelly McCormick make save
after save as Texas Tech started putting some pressure on the Ole Miss back line. The Lady Red Raiders outshot Ole Miss in the second half 11 to 3 and 15 to 13 for the game but had nothing to show for it on the scoreboard.
“It was a total team effort,” McCormick said. “Defense was amazing. Everyone played their part.”
Holding onto a 1-0 lead, Ole Miss freshman forward Olivia Harrison gave the Rebels a little insurance with a goal in the 78th minute as she played a free kick by McCormick. It was Harrison’s fifth goal of the season.
The 2-0 victory earned Mc-Cormick her fourth consecu-tive shutout.
“Honestly, we have a whole new team,” McCormick said. “Everyone is meshing together, and it’s just great to have a team come together and play as one. It’s not just me, it’s everyone.”
Ole Miss will host UAB Fri-day night with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m.
FRIDAY: OLE MISS 8, UALR 0
Offense was the word of the night when Ole Miss defeated the University of Arkansas-Lit-tle Rock 8-0 Friday night.
“Our guys came out with a ton of energy early,” Ole Miss head coach Matt Mott said. “(We) got a couple early goals and settled the game down.”
The Rebels (5-0) did not waste much time getting on the scoreboard as junior for-ward Rafaelle Souza scored off a pass from freshman forward Bethany Bunker in the 6th minute.
Arkansas-Little Rock (0-4) had little time to recover from the quick strike as junior for-ward Mandy McCalla put in goal number two on the night from 30 yards out in the 15th minute on an assist from senior midfielder Alix Hildal. Just four short minutes later Mc-Calla scored her second goal of the game when Souza sent a ball across the box to give Ole Miss a 3-0 lead in the 19th min-ute.
“We played really well,” Mc-
Calla said. “We just did well technically, and we just sought out goals and finished.”
The scoring did not stop there for Ole Miss. Freshman forward Olivia Harrison got in on the action with an unas-sisted goal in the 32nd minute. Another freshman, forward Sara Coleman, earned the fifth goal of the game when she scored a rebound goal off Ar-kansas-Little Rock goalkeeper Shantel Wittke’s deflection of Coleman’s penalty kick in the
45th minute to give the Rebels a 5-0 lead at halftime.
The second half picked up right where the first half end-ed. Freshmen Jennifer Miller, Brooke Theobald and Olivia Harrison all scored goals in the second half. Harrison netted her second goal of the game with another unassisted score in the 75th minute.
