This is a random order. Here's another reason Ole Miss will be improved in 2011.

Gunter Brewer at Ole Miss is a good fit. He wants to be there for reasons of family and history among others. He's been a successful assistant for quite some time, not only on the field but also in recruiting.

Brewer has coached some big wide receiver names in college football, guys like Randy Moss, Dez Bryant, D'Juan Woods and Justin Blackmon.

He'll have an opportunity to make his mark early on, because he's coming into a position that needs a good deal of “coaching up.”

The Rebels return some experience at receiver but no game-breaker. The incoming talent brings lots of possibilities, but the newcomers will need direction, and Brewer will have to decide where to fit the pieces.

The son of former Ole Miss coach Billy Brewer, Gunter knows the layout of Ole Miss football. Having a link to the past isn't a bad thing. The Billy Brewer Era had its controversy, but it had on the field success too, and the Brewers appeal to the sense of history at Ole Miss.

Gunter Brewer's most important contribution will be what he can do for the future. As passing game coordinator it will be interesting to see what impact he makes in an offense that will strive to run the football.

Whether blocking for their teammates or stretching the field with newly acquired speed, I think the receivers will play with organization and purpose.

U.S. Army All-Americans!!! Who and what are these U.S. Army All-American that coach Nutt so talks about? What so special about them. I am U.S. Air Force and if it was not for us those ground pounders would be in deep trouble. We do give them a lift some times.

GO AIR FORCE!!!!

Biker, Murphy did go through the second summer term. Compliance is working on his case to present to the NCAA.

The new coaches should at least have the team more focused.

I hope coach Brewer can keep the secondary from playing up, and keep them backstepping, and make good blocks. With the new clarity of the diving forward into the endzone rule, please teach the WR's to avoid any type of jump dive.

They better help our secondary practice for the BYU air-attack too.

The offense had the Rishaw Johnson deal and all the injuries on the line early. Got better later, but during that transitional time they struggled to run. Masoli got some things done against Vanderbilt and Arkansas but not much from the line of scrimmage. That changed. This bunch needs to play strong and gain confidence from the beginning. I think the receivers will be fine and will surprise some folks. Bottom line though is this offense wants to count on the run more than it will count on the pass.

I believe that G. Brewer will make a big difference in the receiving corp this year and make it really stout over the next few years. Our offense last year was really good at times but mostly bc of the running game and what Masoli could do with his legs as well. There was no togetherness at all to me on offense last year and we were still scoring 30 ppg. This year with just a lil help with the defense even with the league being so stout i think we can be a force down the stretch. Melvin Harris and Ja-mes Logan looks the part to be great receivers, one or 2 more step up and add in the running game and who knows. I like how we stack up on offense even though we are unproven as of yet. I can't wait for Sept. 3rd to get here. Expect the worst and pray for the best. HOTTY TODDY!!
