Rebels To Host Tennessee, No. 12 Kentucky In TV Matches
10/28/2009 | Volleyball
Ole Miss will host Tennessee on Friday night at 7 p.m. in a match televised by SportSouth before returning to action on Sunday against No. 12 Kentucky at 1 p.m. in a match broadcast by Fox Sports Net.
"It's always exciting to be back home at the Gillom Center and have the fan support," said Ole Miss head coach Joe Getzin. "We're excited to get the chance to play against two of the top teams in the SEC. The television contract with the SEC allows for fans to see other sports beyond just football and basketball. It's a great chance to showcase SEC volleyball and what we're doing here at Ole Miss."
It will be an exciting weekend for Ole Miss fans as there will be several promotions and giveaways surrounding the matches and as a part of the Halloween weekend. Rebel Sports Marketing will be sponsoring a costume contest Friday night with prizes given away to those who wear costumes to the match. Sunday's match against Kentucky will see complimentary ice cream sundaes served to fans who arrive early.
The Rebel volleyball program will also be handing out T-shirts to students as a part of the weekend's matches, so students are encouraged to arrive early and be loud as Ole Miss looks to get back on track against conference rivals Tennessee and Kentucky.
