Flareb are you a Heat fan, thats all I hear here in this Household Miami heat and FSU, I am still a Johnny Rebs "Blood, Guts, and sweat" and all from the old days of tradition. Turfguy just stating his freedom of speech and views, and it can sometimes get under the skin of some Ole Miss fans. I don't think its anything personal. All sports fans do express their opinions from time and I think that's good. About that Rebelbear thing , Ole Miss brought that on themselves by executing their old loyal faithful soldier Col Reb and naming a beast from the wilderness as their mascot. WEll, Ole Miss has been wondering in the wilderness for the last forty years or so, and I guess the found them another loyal friend out there.

Flareb,

When ye think about it, this blog is kinda bland without the pearls of wisdom from the Turfguy. My buddy, Churn is one of a few, who understands the Turfguy. I am just telling it like it is. If the Rebelbears where doing good in anything, I would give them credit, but with all these collapses in all three major sports, the Turfguy is obligated to open up the can and let the truth flow. It is like shooting fish in a barrel. Get better in anything and the Turfguy will lay off, until then be prepared for the wrath of the Turfguy.

Turf,

Just for the record, this blog is much more appealing without the idiots. Take note and safe travels.

If memory serve me correctly, I believe Texas A&M came down here last season to Florida State to compete in its regional and won it. Small ball, as I recall. but displaying power when needed, very good pitching. But in this regional the Rebels have got to get past TCU to find out what A&M has to offer. I am sorry to say, but I don't think the Rebels will win this one. Pitching not strong enough.

Not a promising outlook for the Oxfart Rebelbears. What a dismal ending to what looked like a bright season. Turfguy, who has been so right for so long it ain't funny, sees the webelbears going home after 3 games. The good news is, football kicks off in less than 90 days, well, I guess it's good news. Great to be back from the Uk, I know you guys missed me.
