Talk of Champions

Thirty players in college football are averaging 95 or more rushing yards per game. Four of them have worn an Ole Miss uniform at some point in their football career. So, Ole Miss, Running Back U? Well, not quite, but it’s impressive nonetheless, especially when you consider the Rebels have the best running game in the SEC through this season’s first three games despite having to replace their top...

Ole Miss hosts recruiting visitors for every home football weekend, regardless of opponent. Lane Kiffin and Co. also share the wealth.  The size of the list fluctuates with the schedule, but prospects can always been found on the sidelines prior to kickoff and in a section of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium exclusively reserved for them.  Typically mixed in with the four and five-stars and their families...

Ole Miss football goes to Alabama AND Georgia next season. Good. It's time to rid ourselves of Ole Miss Defeatist Brain. Ben Garrett and David Johnson take a deep-dive into the 2023 schedule reveal in this edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247).

And, boy, does he have some thoughts on Ole Miss football in 2022. Powe believes the season's next two weeks (Tulsa and Kentucky) will tell us a lot about where the Rebels stand, and he also sees some of himself in defensive tackle JJ Pegues, the...

In this edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247), Ben Garrett and David Johnson are back with another Overreaction Monday following the Rebels' 42-0 blowout at Georgia Tech on Saturday. Quarterback Jaxson Dart took another step as the Rebels (3-0) steamrolled the Yellowjackets. If he continues to progress at a fairly rapid r...

In this edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247), Ben Garrett and David Johnson play a round of Buy or Sell, among myriad other topics. Will Jaxson Dart finally settle the Ole Miss quarterback competition Saturday at Georgia Tech? Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC. Plus, another long-overdue Recruit Check, and the most unin...

In this edition of Talk of Champions, powered by Thomas Chandler of Capital Financial Group, Ben Garrett (Ole Miss Spirit/On3) is joined by Nick Suss of the Clarion-Ledger to break down why Ole Miss has such a significant advantage over Georgia Tech.

Either Lane Kiffin has a killer poker face or he's genuinely undecided on Ole Miss' starting quarterback for Georgia Tech. Because all signs point to Jaxson Dart. Actually, as Chuck Rounsaville wrote recently, we at the Ole Miss Spirit and elsewhere are "comfortable saying" it'll be Dart that gets the nod for the Rebels' first road test in 2022. Luke Altmyer was as limited...

It's Overreaction Monday in this edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247). Luke Altmyer got banged up in his start against Central Arkansas, a blowout Ole Miss win on Saturday, and Jaxson Dart, who replaced him at quarterback, shined. Dart is expected to get the nod at Georgia Tech, and if he does, and shows out, he has a re...

Ole Miss athletics director Keith Carter was satisfied with the game-day fan experience and environment for week one against Troy. For the most part. Carter and the rest of the Ole Miss administration remain fully aware of the weekly, student-section-sized mind-bender on their hands. “I thought at kickoff it was really good,” Carter said. “I thought the crowd turned out, the student section turned...

Ole Miss basketball has three commitments for 2023, including four-star forward Rashaud Marshall, and the Rebels hosted a pair of priority recruits (Josh Hubbard and Macaleab Rich) for visits last weekend. Life is pretty good right now for fifth-year head coach Kermit Davis and staff. “It’s been a great team effort,” Davis said, in this Talk of Champions Extra. “Our staff has done a great job. The...

What's there to learn, really, about the Ole Miss quarterbacks on Saturday, when the Rebels host (and likely beat handedly, if we're being honest) Central Arkansas? Possibly a little more than you think. As reported, ad nauseum, for a week now, second-year signal-caller Luke Altmyer will start against the Bears, with Jaxson Dart set to come off the bench at an undisclosed time to relieve h...

In this edition of Daytime Fireworks, Zach Berry (Ole Miss Spirit/On3) and David Brandt (Associated Press) are back together to cover myriad Ole Miss topics, including the team's pursuit of a 2-0 start, as well as the major takeaways from week one in college football. Also, join us, friends, as we travel a branch in the Ole Miss multiverse, to a timeline where Ed Orgeron was never hired as hea...

Ole Miss has a running back surplus and a pair of talented, if developing, quarterbacks in Jaxson Dart and Luke Altmyer. What if college football allowed trades and the Rebels had to make a Sophie's choice with their in-state rival? Ben Garrett and Bradley Sowell consider any and all options in this edition of Talk of Champions, powered by Thomas Chandler of Capital Financial Group. Call Thoma...

The current state of the Ole Miss quarterback situation can pretty much be summed up by two questions. Can one of Jaxson Dart or Luke Altmyer reach the level of play an Ole Miss roster constructed to win now needs by the Kentucky game? Or will the usual gradual and carousel-like nature of quarterback development require a full season? The final win total in 2022 could very well depend on those ans...

On3 national basketball recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw is back for another round of  #notcommitted  with Zach Berry of the Ole Miss Spirit. Among today's topics is the latest intel on Macaleab Rich and Josh Hubbard, a pair of priority Ole Miss recruiting targets for the 2023 class. The Rebels had them in for visits for football's season-opening win over Troy on Saturday. Plus, the guys take...

In this edition of the Rebel Yell Hotline, Chuck Rounsaville, Gary Darby and Gordon Ford are joined by Harry Harrison of the Ole Miss Radio Network and Jake Thompson of the Ole Miss Spirit to discuss Ole Miss' season-opening win over Troy, as well as the Rebels' upcoming showdown against Central Arkansas. Two weeks, two different Ole Miss starting quarterbacks, and that's not all. Not...

Ben Garrett and Bradley Sowell needed a moment after Ole Miss' 28-10 win over Troy on Saturday. Well, a full night, actually, and they're still processing the good and (sometimes very) bad from the 2022 season opener. The Rebels were led by a dominant rushing attack and a stifling defensive effort, but all any of us can seem to talk about is the quarterbacks, specifically starter Jaxson Da...
