Banner weekend for Ole Miss sports brings good vibes only to The Flagship Mar 04, 2024

Show notes

The weekend, collectively, couldn’t have yielded much better results in Ole Miss sports. Four Rebel teams won games just on Sunday, including a palette-cleansing series-clinching finale for baseball over Iowa.

So, naturally, The Flagship, powered by College Corner, is good vibes only on this Monday. We’re even trying to talk ourselves into a magical March for BOTH Ole Miss basketball teams. The Rebel men are still hanging in after their win at Missouri, while the women are red-hot, just as head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin said they would be.

TJ Dudley reports to the Ivey League with a love of Beethoven and big Ole Miss dreams Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

The ‘Ivey League’ has already opened its doors to a pair of stud Ole Miss football defenders in its debut month.

But there is always, of course, room for one more.

Clemson transfer linebacker TJ Dudley joins his Rebel teammate, and ‘Ivey League’ host, Jared Ivey, on this Thursday (February 29) to detail his journey to Ole Miss. Did you know? Dudley is a skilled pianist and basketball player, too. He’s even considering starting a band with Ivey, who’s back picking a guitar.

Those are but a few of the many layers to Dudley, who made his Ole Miss debut in the Rebels’ easy Peach Bowl win over Penn State. He’s just hoping he made enough of an impression to at least get an 80-rating in NCAA Football ’25.
