The Pro-Bono Initiative at the University of Mississippi Robert C. Khayat Law Center will provide free tax assistance to low-income residents of Lafayette County this tax season through the Free Assisted Self-Service Tax (FAST) program.

Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze announced on Thursday the first additions to his Rebel football staff. Dave Wommack was named the Rebels’ defensive coordinator and safeties coach, Maurice Harris will serve as tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator, Tom Allen will be the linebackers coach, and Chris Kiffin was named defensive line coach.

All four assistant coaches were members of Freeze’s staff at Arkansas State.

After arguably the worst season in school history, new head coach Hugh Freeze won the press conference and took the first step to rebuilding the football program and uniting the fan base.

When reports started to surface, the reaction was mixed, but Freeze won over the capacity crowd at the Ford Center with his love and vision for Ole Miss, both delivered in a charismatic fashion.

The Student Programming Board will show that they take “the most wonderful time of the year” seriously.
A new event called Grand Ole Christmas, a night of Christmas fun, will be from 7-11 p.m. in the Student Union.
“We are excited to host our annual Christmas event again this year,” said Bradley Baker, coordinator of campus programming. “We hope that this event is entertaining for not only Ole Miss students but families in the community as well.”

Updated with the subtractions of Rich Rodriguez (the new head coach at Arizona) and Kevin Sumlin (head coach at Houston), the re-addition of Manny Diaz (defensive coordinator at Texas) and the new addition of Todd Monken (offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State).

Lee, Rebels’ offense prepares for LSU

Ole Miss offensive coordinator David Lee had to change course on Tuesday with the announcement that junior starting quarterback Randall Mackey would be suspended for Saturday’s game against No. 1 LSU and possibly next week’s Egg Bowl at Mississippi State.

Oxford residents will soon have access to a state-of-the-art hospital. The North Mississippi installation of Baptist Memorial Hospital continues to finalize plans to build a new hospital within city limits. The site selection process is nearing its end as the number of potential sites is narrowed down.

Rebels prepare for an explosive Louisiana Tech offense

As Ole Miss prepares for Saturday night’s game in Oxford against Louisiana Tech, Ole Miss defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix is preparing for a very good Bulldog offense that ranks 48th in the country in points per game and averages just under 400-yards of total offense per game.

One day after Athletics Director Pete Boone and Chancellor Dan Jones announced Houston Nutt’s tenure as Ole Miss head coach would end after this season’s Egg Bowl, some of the assistant coaches shared their thoughts on the turn of events.

“I was surprised and disappointed because I know the amount of time and effort that has been put into it, but, if you’ve been in the game long enough, you know these things happen,” Ole Miss defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix said after practice Tuesday.

This Saturday, Ole Miss (2-6, 0-5 SEC) travels to Lexington in hopes of ending its 11-game Southeastern Conference losing streak with a win over the Kentucky Wildcats (3-5, 0-4 SEC).

Ole Miss leads the all-time series 27-13-1, including a 42-35 win in Oxford this past season.

While the Rebels prepare for the Wildcats, head coach Houston Nutt sees some similarities between his team and Kentucky.

The Daily Mississippian sports editor Austin Miller recently caught up via e-mail with the University of Kentucky student newspaper's sports editor Ethan Levine to talk Saturday's Ole Miss-Kentucky game.

Austin Miller: Talk about the Kentucky football season to this point. What are the Wildcats’ expectations going into this game and for the rest of the season?

While Ole Miss fell yet again Saturday, this time in a 29-24 loss to Arkansas, the Rebels’ starting quarterback Randall Mackey played the best he ever has in a Rebel uniform.

The redshirt junior threw for 218 yards on 18 of 30 passing with two touchdowns while going for 30 rushing yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. He also, for the most part, avoided mistakes, taking just three sacks and throwing just one interception.
