You’re probably wondering how I ended up here

For the sixth time in school history, the Rebels are going to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

Regional win pile of players holding up the number one

With a 32-22 record and a first-round loss in the SEC tournament, Ole Miss just squeaked into June postseason play and immediately had to face the team that kept them from Omaha last year: Arizona.

But they won. And they beat No. 6-ranked University of Miami. And then beat Arizona again – all on the road.

Final regional win with batter in full swing

That next weekend, the team faced No. 10-ranked Southern Miss in Hattiesburg for a super regional – on the road and as the underdogs against an in-state foe. Reader, Ole Miss shut them out TWICE to advance.

And just this week, the team hopped off the plane in Omaha with Ole Miss behind them and double-elimination bracket play ahead of them. If the Rebs wake up Saturday, June 25 in the national championship series, it’s just a best two-out-of-three series for all the marbles.

Hotty Toddy, y’all.

The Rebs are hot and so is Nebraska. The team needs as many Ole Miss fans as possible to cheer them on and help bring home the trophy! So...
