Rebels can make history with Vanderbilt coming to town – Red Cup Rebellion

Ole Miss will enter Saturdays game with the ability to make some history - an undefeated home record in the balance.

If the Rebels can overcome Vanderbilt, it will secure the first undefeated home slate since 1992, which if I remember correctly was the year Bill Clinton was first elected President. Holy smokes, being a fan of the Rebels is tough.

Moreover, a ninth win for the season puts Ole Miss in rare air for the program. The win preserves the opportunity for a tenth and then a record setting eleventh victory in a bowl game potentially.

But play the games one at a time and all that - Vanderbilt comes into Oxford at 2-8 and winless in the SEC, so Ole Miss is clearly favored by five or more touchdowns depending on which betting service you like to use. Honestly, I think it would do Ole Miss fans some good to see a win like that against Vandy, because it doesnt happen that often.

Heres some stats for thought:

What Im getting at is if youve been an Ole Miss fan long enough, you know you can never count this game in the win column until its over. Vanderbilt might be down this year, but it also has nothing to lose at this point and spoiling the Rebels season might be just enough motivation to make Saturday more uncomfortable than it should be.

So, buy some dadgum tickets, get your butts in the seats, give this really good Ole Miss squad a home field advantage one last time in 2021 - they have clearly earned it.
