Re: Ole Miss welcomes 18 mid-year enrollees to campus
It would be good to surprise people, but I would rather be a dark horse with no one giving us credit for anything except being on the bottom. In the past it just seems like whenever Ole Miss get a good pre-season ranking or accolades to do good, then they do not live up to the expectations. One thing for sure is that Kiffin has returned excitement and interest to the program. Moore's dog pee antics at Moo U were one of the best things that has recently happened to Ole Miss, especially since it led to Luke getting fired.
