It’s a crying shame it’s taken this long for hockey to reach Ole Miss.. but it’s here – amazingly.

Officially sanctioned by the University a few months back, the IceRebels plan to compete in the Western SEC conference of the American Collegiate Hockey Association along with every other SEC school (except Auburn)..

Here are some quick team notes:

Head Coach: Max Graupner
Team President: Cody Johnson
Home Games: played at Desoto Civic Center in Southaven
First Game: 10/02/2009 – vs. Middle Tennessee State University in Nashville
First Home Game: 10/23/09 vs. Mississippi State

Their full schedule can be found below:

Word is, fan gear will be sold in the Grove this fall during home football games, and will include t-shirts, jerseys & pucks.

Also, for the daring, additional open tryouts for the team will be held in the fall. Anyone interested should contact ccjohns2(at)olemiss.edu

Go IceRebels!

close your eyes..

It’s not June.

And it’s not 98 degrees outside.

It’s October. It’s 74 degrees. And you’re walking from the Grove to Vaught Hemingway.

Time to TiVo fast forward this summer doldrum.

Ever take some time to troll through the Ole Miss Team Shop, University Sporting Goods, or Campus Bookmart? I mean, really troll through… ignoring the jerseys, the hats, the tshirts.. into the twilight zone of Ole Miss accessories for sale?

I hadn’t. I usually stuck to hats, and/or bought an occasional sweatshirt from time to time.

But today, I began to investigate further. Dig a little deeper. What else could I possibly purchase with our Ole Miss logo emblazoned upon it. What item could oddly and awkwardly place Colonel Reb in its midst?

I’m happy to say I found a few.

Several actually.. let’s review:

Item One: Ole Miss Bird Feeder

A necessity for any true Ole Miss fan. What better way to say ‘Hotty Toddy”?

Item Two: Colonel Reb/Ole Miss Golf Tees

I ain’t a big golfer, but if I was – and wanted to rile an opponent player – these gems would, without a doubt, do the trick. Shoot, even State or LSU fans could happily use these, as they’d effectively decapitate Colonel Reb after each tee off..

Item Three: Colonel Reb Rain Gauge

So odd, I like. Colonel Reb + Raincoat + Indication we’re #1 = Gold

Item Four: Colonel Reb Baby Crib Mobile

The Superman effect here is priceless.

Item Five: Ole Miss Silicone Ice Tray

Ice cubes in the shape of the Ole Miss ‘M’.. of course..

Item Six: Ole Miss Salt & Pepper Shakers

These I really like, and might order before days end.

Item Seven: Ole Miss Curtains

Simply one word. FAIL. If I visit your home, and these are gracing your walls, I’ll never look at you the same way.
