In Saturday’s 52-7 drumming by the Alabama Crimson Tide, Ole Miss also lost the services of senior cornerback Marcus Temple for the remainder of the season.

Looking back at last fall and this winter, I was proud to see a lot of my fellow students wearing pea coats.

We wore them to games, to class, to formals, to the Square, to church and even just to grab a bite at the JC.We wore them everywhere.
