OXFORD, Miss. - Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt welcomed the rest of his 2010 football team to campus Saturday as the varsity reported for preseason drills. With the entire squad now on campus, the Rebels will turn their attention to fall practice which starts on Sunday.
"Everyone is back, and it's good to get going," Nutt said. "Right now, everyone is going through paperwork and various meetings, and our first official team meeting is tonight. We're excited and ready to go."
Tonight's meeting will be held at the Overby Center on campus. The state-of-art center for Southern Journalism & Politics opened in 2008 and includes a 225-seat auditorium.
The facility first caught Nutt's eye as a potential meeting spot after speaking there during Grove Bowl weekend for the Ole Miss Women's Council for Philanthropy's presentation of the Legacy Award to Leigh Anne Tuohy.
"When I walked in and saw this beautiful auditorium, I begged and pleaded to have one night to bring my team in here," he said. "I knew it would be perfect. They were very nice to allow us to use it tonight, and we are very excited to have such a great place to meet."
The Rebels' newcomer class, which reported on Friday, has already gotten larger in more ways than one, as offensive tackle Terrell Brown was a late addition to the list. The junior from Drew, Miss., tips the scales at approximately 6-foot-11, 390 pounds.
Ole Miss will begin practice Sunday at 4:25 p.m., and the first week will be open to the public, from Sunday through Saturday. The one practice each weekday will begin at 5:20 p.m., while the time of Saturday's scrimmage will be announced at a later date on twitter.com/OleMissNow.
Use of cellular phones and cameras are prohibited for fans at practice, and fans must remain in the designated area. When the team practices outdoors, fans are not allowed between the practice fields.
Ole Miss will hold Media Day activities Monday beginning at 9 a.m., and fans can catch full coverage of the event on OleMissSports.com.
