Ole Miss is the nickname for the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Ms. Giant Quarterback, Eli Manning played for the Ole Miss Rebels like his dad, Archie Manning did in the 1970's. Eli's big brother is NFL Colt's quarterback, Peyton Manning who also played for Ole Miss' SEC rival University of Tennessee.
Unfortunately, Ole Miss was also known for a riot in 1962 protesting the admission of the first black student. It took the 82nd Airborne division to allow this to happen.
Ole Miss' Mascot is Col. Rebel (who looks pretty much like the UNLV Running Rebel mascot) and NOT like Col. Saunders of KFC fame (per Pastor Kevin).
