Ole Miss Faces TCU in Peach Bowl NYE
Ole Miss will be returning to the spot where this magnificent season all began in Atlanta on New Year’s Eve.
The Rebels ended the season No. 9 in the College Football Playoff rankings to participate in postseason play for the third straight season. The Peach Bowl awaits the Ole Miss Rebels and the TCU Horned Frogs on New Year’s Eve in the Georgia Dome.
Ole Miss (9-3) ended the 2014 season with a huge 31-17 victory over in-state rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. The Rebels had great success over the season by starting out with a prefect 7-0 record after defeating Alabama at home and Texas A&M on the road.
Ever since coach Hugh Freeze has arrived on campus three seasons ago, the Rebels have been firing at all cylinders, continuing to reach a bowl game and do better than the year before. The season prior to Freeze”s arrival, Ole Miss went 2-10 on the season and 0-8 in the SEC.
Senior quarterback Bo Wallace finished the regular season atop of the Ole Miss record books as the total yards offensive leader as a Rebel.
Ole Miss’ final appearance of 2014 kicks off at 11:30 a.m. Dec. 31 on ESPN.

So the Rebels are supposed to be perfect and never have any problems……I suppose that going from a 2-10 record to a 9-3 record is just not going to cut it……some people are never happy no matter how well the team plays…..never mind that they had just lost Laquon Treadwell to a broken leg and in the bargain lost a heartbreaker to Auburn…….never mind that they had already lost one of the Nkemdiche brothers to a broken leg and another player with a concussion……..never mind that they had won 7 in a row before this……never mind that they beat a #1 ranked team called Alabama for the first time in 10 years……never mind all that…..seems to me like some people just want to complain instead of celebrating the best season we have had in a long time……….
