Some historians believe the Ole Miss Band may have borrowed the cheer from the Virginia Tech Regimental Band,[37] which was nicknamed the, “Highty-Tighties” in 1919[38], Some other theories suggest that the cheer was fashioned by Ole Miss legendary cheerleader[39] and sports fan, Blind Jim Ivy. That's about as bad as you can play against the pass, obviously.

In 2019, the NCAA vacated 33 of the team's victories and levied a two-year ban on post-season play as punishment for recruiting and academic violations under head coaches Houston Nutt and Hugh Freeze.[7].

The Ole Miss football team played its first season in 1893, and since then have fielded a team every year except for 1897 (due to a yellow fever epidemic) and 1943 (due to World War II). Cooper is now the assistant head coach and offensive line coach at Benedictine Military School in Savannah, Georgia. The bowl appearance was the program's first since 1992, and the Rebels earned a final national ranking of No. The Rebels also went to their first bowl game since 1971 losing to Air Force 9–3 in the Independence Bowl. But NCAA investigators later concluded that Freeze had cheated on 15 occasions by breaking recruiting rules and allowing students to play who had not maintained the required academic standing; they also determined that his predecessor, Nutt, had broken similar rules.
In one of the most memorable games in Rebel football history, Ole Miss upset Notre Dame, 20–13 in Mississippi Memorial Stadium on September 17, 1977, in Jackson. This garnered them a berth in the 2014 Peach Bowl—their first major-bowl appearance since 1969. [citation needed][importance?].
