Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Ole Miss Rebels combines the great passion of the Rebel fan with the grand passion of the fan of Christ in one set of devotions. The result is a book that is fun while it provides a time of reflection about God and your faith.
- A Rebel football player did something so shocking during a game that a rule was passed so he couldn't do it again.
- Hugh Freeze was determined to get rid of a player - who later became an All-American cornerback.
- Rebel players once injured their head coach while they were celebrating a win.
- That he stood a good chance of getting a date was one reason why Sean Tuohy chose Ole Miss over LSU.
- A Rebel football team once threatened to boycott a bowl game over a suit of clothes.
These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Archie Manning, Bo Wallace, Johnny Vaught, Chad Kelly, Deuce McAllister, Eli Manning, and many others. Their stories - along with legendary games, improbable victories, and historical events - are told with a twist: They are all tied to God's story.
Have fun! Have faith! Go Rebels! Go God!
