Lane Kiffin said he was not aware that
#OleMiss
became bowl eligible with Saturday's win until it was mentioned to him this morning.
"That's not how I think and honestly trying to change the way a lot of people think (around here)"
So here’s a rundown of the past week:
- Ole Miss eliminates Texas A&M
- Texas A&M steals Ross Bjork away
- Ole Miss steals a hosting bid from Texas A&M
"Those bells are are really annoying. They don't come close to following the rules. Whatever they are, they don't follow them." - Lane Kiffin's thoughts on cowbells.

For those hoping Chad Kelly is the Bronco's answer tomorow, I hate to break it to you but "Swag" is currently raving in the stands at Vaught-Hemingway with Marshall Henderson.
Tre Harris on his first season at
#OleMiss
: "I haven't had a winning season since my middle school years. ...To come in here my first year and win this many games is huge. Feels surreal."
Dylan Delucia as he walked out of the press conference looked at Bianco and said "That was fun" then gave him a fist bump.
Morale is good for
#OleMiss
right now.
I asked Kiffin about his now infamous popcorn comment. Said it wasn't pre-meditated and didn't realize it was the last question. After watching it back realized it came across as "rude."
He also said he told Jeff Lebby at halftime: "We forgot to plug the microwave in."

During Reb Talk Lane Kiffin asks for a 'history lesson' on why MSU can ring the cowbells and have artificial noisemakers in the stadium.
Upon hearing the 'ring responsibly' rule for Davis-Wade Stadium he responded: "Well that's a dumb rule"
Egg Bowl week is here.

For those still wondering about the 11 a.m. slots and a Top 10
#OleMiss
getting them.
The Kentucky - Ole Miss game on ESPN was No. 1 on cable for Saturday with an average of over 2.7 million viewers and a .86 in 18-49 demo (which is very, very good).
University of Mississippi officials confirm to me Brandon Theesfeld has been suspended. He was also a student in the School of Business Administration.
Kiffin said he took a few minutes before speaking with the team and decided to not let into them for how they played, but said Corral already had the offense in one corner of the room "doing what I was going to do."
Contributed Corral's leadership to helping change the program.
With tonight's win
#OleMiss
tied the 1992 team, going 6-0 at home. They can set a new school record of 7-0 at home in a season next week against Vanderbilt.
Matt Corral said he deleted his social media accounts last night in preparation for the season starting and blocking out the chatter of a potential Heisman campaign.
"The coaches just tell me how much I suck (at practice)" - said in jest.

#OleMiss
was 7-14 in the SEC and at the bottom heading into May. They have since won 13 of their last 16, swept a Regional and swept a Super Regional.
The Rebels are heading to Omaha. And it was always going to be Elko to make the last out
Oxford Board of Aldermen unanimously approved a proclamation, declaring January 18, 2020 as Edward Aschoff Day.
Classy move suggested to Mayor Robyn Tannehill by Aschoff's ESPN colleague Wright Thompson.
Due to JSU winning,
#OleMiss
is the visiting team for a second straight game. Maybe I'm alone in this, but if you are hosting a regional in your stadium and the No. 1 seed in said regional, shouldn't you be the home team every game?
Daijahn Anthony on playing in a Pete Golding defense:
"Coach Golding's defense, if you're a DB that's listening to this, come to coach Golding's defense because he's going to put you in the best positions. He's going to make sure you're good. He's going to take care of you."

The University of Mississippi announced on Monday that the former

Free idea: Put College Baseball on ESPN all season if MLB keeps up the stalemate.
It will get a lot of more attention than usual if it's the only baseball in town.
A massive parade is taking place around Baptist Hosptial-North Mississippi in Oxford as members of the community are lined down the street to thank doctors and nurses.
The former

Morgan Freeman and Lane Kiffin are having a conversation while sitting next to each other court side at an Ole Miss game is a thing that is happening right now.
I asked
@Lane_Kiffin
about his 'popcorn' comment during the pregame interview on Saturday, who lamented how it came across and told us what he said to Jeff Lebby immediately after:
"I just said something really stupid. So you better score a lot of points"
Today is Catherine Alderson’s 100th birthday. She’s lived in Lafayette County her entire life. The

I've had this, what some may consider random, fact in my head all season since looking it up but:
#OleMiss
is now Lane Kiffin's longest tenured job of his coaching career, by one game. He surpassed the length of his USC tenure once the Arkansas game concluded.
I know I’m speaking to complete strangers on here. But for those that do, say a prayer for my family tonight. We had to say good bye to my Aunt Pam today after her long battle with cancer.
Cancer sucks.
