Ole Miss Football: Where Will the Rebels Go Bowling This Year?
By Randy Morgan
Record: 6-6 | Liberty Bowl | Memphis, TN
The Rebels lose to Arkansas, LSU, Texas A&M, and *gasp* Mississippi State to end the season, all hell has broke loose in Oxford and Hugh Freeze is on the hot seat. Matt Luke and the offensive line disappointed us all and we suck.
Batoon is gone, the rest of the staff is on the hot seat as well. But, out of the darkness, the Rebels make a bowl game. The Liberty Bowl, a bowl that Rebel fans are all too familiar with.
I remember the days of Coach O when I prayed for a Liberty Bowl birth, now it is cause for distress. The Liberty Bowl isn’t that bad, it is just played in one of the worst stadiums in the country, in one of the most dangerous cities in the South, and it is usually between two bad teams.
If the Rebels did make the Liberty Bowl, they would be matched up with the Big-12’s fifth team this season. So who would that be? Well you may not want know.
The Rebels would face off with the TCU Horned Frogs again. The last time these two teams faced off was the 2014 Peach Bowl, where TCU demolished the Rebels.
So would the same outcome repeat itself? Well, Boykin is not there anymore and Gary Patterson has yet to find the magic to make his team a contender this season.
