One-Fourth Of Ole Miss Team Has The Flu

((HT: Jackson Clarion-Ledger/Brandt))

Twenty-seven players missed Wednesday's practice, including star receiver Dexter McCluster, who was hospitalized on Tuesday night, said coach Houston Nutt.

UM football trainer Tim Mullins said McCluster was having a hard time holding down fluids, and was sent to the hospital as a precaution. The receiver was feeling much better on Wednesday, according to Mullins.

Among the key players affected: Quarterbacks Jevan Snead, Billy Tapp and Raymond Cotton, fullbacks Andy Hartmann and Dan Hoffman, receivers McCluster and Shay Hodge, offensive linemen Brandon Green and John Jerry, tight end Ferbia Allen, defensive ends Kentrell Lockett and Marcus Tillman, linebackers Allen Walker and Joel Kight and defensive backs Marshay Green and Johnny Brown.

"If we had to play this Saturday," Nutt said. "It would be scary."

Those of us at OSG HQ think it's ironic that the Rebs are suffering from H1N1...
Think about it...
There you go...

All the above story did, however, is give us an excuse to post some old highlights from the 2001 season when Ole Miss beat Alabama...
