Football Ramblings

Football practice began in Oxford this weekend. Since practices are closed there will not be much reporting on my end throughout the year concerning the happenings during practice. The post practice press conferences are not going to be too informative. Coach O is just going to call out the guys that he can remember who did good. So I will not be posting on practice facts too often.

Still waiting on Jarrell Powe and Rory Johnson. Rory will get in and should be in the next couple of days. The same can not be said about Powe, while I do believe he will eventually get in, it might take a while. It is all in the NCAA hands and waiting on a decision from their end.

Ramblings sources in Oxford this weekend is that former Rebel standout Todd Wade might be in talks with a certain NFL team many Ole Miss diehards are also fans of. And a team that could use some help on the offensive line. Could be a good thing for fans and himself if he winds up with them. The real question is, is he healthy.

The Commercial Appeal ran several stories on the Rebels today. Yet another great story on Patrick Willis and the struggles he has overcome. The story takes a look at Willis childhood and his life in Bruceton, TN. Here is the link http://www.commercialappeal.com/mca/football/article/0,1426,MCA_478_4897480,00.html
