As I write this column, I am sitting on the couch with my dog Swayze while the Ole Miss Rebels (who play in her namesake stadium) have lost three-straight SEC series and sit at 9-6 in conference play at the halfway point.
We all knew that the stretch of Florida, Arkansas and Mississippi State were going to be tough, especially with two of those series coming on the road, but after having swept Alabama and Auburn to start SEC play, the Rebels were in a position where they could afford to lose some games and take some lumps.
