OXFORD - I've got to run to football practice, but as you can see from this release, Meet the Rebels Day has been cancelled because of flu concerns. The release is below:
OXFORD, Miss. ­ - In an abundance of caution regarding the potential exposure of various flu strains, Ole Miss officials announced Tuesday that Saturday’s planned “Meet the Rebels Day” has been cancelled for this year.
“After consultation with our team physicians and Coach Houston Nutt, we felt it was in the best interest of our football team to cancel this year’s ‘Meet the Rebels Day’,” said Ole Miss Athletics Director Pete Boone.
“While we may be over cautious regarding the flu, our season opener is less than three weeks away and we can’t take any chances,”

Perhaps Coaches around the nation will petition their conferences and schools to allow their players not to go to class so they will not get the flu:) The Show must go on as they say.
