Cat-calls: rude comments that yield no results

 

Chances are, most women reading this column are no strangers to a phenomenon that I find rather ridiculous. No matter how often it happens, it still makes me feel uncomfortable, self-conscious and sometimes, even threatened. 

 

Chances are, most women reading this column are no strangers to a phenomenon that I find rather ridiculous. No matter how often it happens, it still makes me feel uncomfortable, self-conscious and sometimes, even threatened. 

What is this phenomenon, you ask? It is the “catcall” – the seemingly harmless whistle that certain “breeds” of men use when they think a passing girl is attractive, or when they just want to be obnoxious.

The Rebels (14-7, 4-3 SEC) led for much of the game, but the Gamecocks (9-11, 1-5 SEC) refused to go away, knocking down shot after shot to stay in the game.

Aniefiok adjusting to life both on and off the court

Freshman guard Maurice Aniefiok is a long way from home. Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, Aniefiok played soccer growing up before ever picking up a basketball. From that day on, though, Aniefiok knew basketball was his ticket in life. He soon realized, however, that he needed to come to America to take his skills to the next level.

A new-look Cox works his way into shape and the starting lineup

Demarco Cox enters his sophomore season a completely different player. After stepping on campus and playing at 315 pounds this past season, Cox lost 40 pounds over the summer to get down to 275. His physical transformation has already shown, as he is running the court a lot better and is a lot quicker on his feet on both sides of the court.

That, however, is exactly what will likely take place tonight when the Ole Miss basketball team takes the court against Louisiana Monroe. If not tonight, you can expect Jarvis Summers to break into the starting lineup soon thereafter.

The 2011-12 basketball season tips off today for the Ole Miss women’s team as they host North Florida. The team returns four starters from last season, but is also going to have a very young look to it.

The team has a lot of younger players, 10 underclassmen to five upperclassmen.

“You just got to find a way to help them mesh and grow and get a little bit better each day,” head coach Renee Ladner said. “We’ll be imperfect, but that is why you play a non-conference schedule.”

Hipp's Tips: Georgia

Put Vanderbilt behind them
It’s easy to let a terrible loss like Vanderbilt linger, but the Rebels can not afford for that to happen if they want to turn around their season. After the loss to Vanderbilt last season, the Rebels were 1-2 and struggled to a 4-8 record. However, in head coach Houston Nutt’s first year, Ole Miss was 2-2 after a loss to Vanderbilt, but surged to finish 9-4, and winning the Cotton Bowl.

Ole Miss 2012 Football Recruiting Update

With the prospects in the 2012 recruiting class having completed summer camp season and starting their senior year, it’s time to take a look at how Ole Miss is doing so far for those 2012 prospects. Bennett Hipp, [email protected], recaps the Rebels’ ten commitments so far. Remember, these prospects cannot sign until February 2012.

Ben Still

Vitals: 6’4,” 270 pounds
Still was the first commitment the Rebels received for the 2012 class as he committed April 21. At his current size, he projects to play at guard at the next level and should be a good one. In addition to Ole Miss, Still claims offers from Tulane and Memphis.

Wednesday’s practice belonged to the defense.

Hipp's Tips: Fall Practice Edition

With fall practice quickly approaching, here are some things to look for as Ole Miss prepares to begin its 2011 season.

1. Who wins the quarterback job?

This will be the main focus for Ole Miss as the season nears. Sophomore Barry Brunetti is thought to have the lead heading into fall practice, but junior Randall Mackey isn’t far behind after showing flashes of his talent in the spring. Junior college transfer Zack Stoudt is in the mix as well.

2. Is Matt Hall ready to contribute at right guard?
