UPDATE: Ole Miss has now clinched the SEC West title for the 8th straight year by beating LSU 5-2. No one has won the SEC West except Ole Miss. Thank you. Thank you very much.
It’s so nice reading articles like this. Actually, I’m not the only one who cares. Ole Miss leads the nation in average attendance. So, I and about 800 people care.
Rebel Tennis Sweeps SEC Weekly Honors
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The No.2 nationally ranked Ole Miss men’s tennis team swept the SEC’s weekly honors with senior Jonas Berg earning Player of the Week and freshman Marcel Thiemann being named Freshman of the Week, as announced by the league office Tuesday.
This marks the first time for the Rebels to sweep the SEC’s weekly honors and the first time for Berg to earn Player of the Week honors. Thiemann earned freshman of the week honors for the second time in his career. Ole Miss has now had a freshman of the week five times this season and two weeks in a row. Both players helped lead the Rebels to their best start in the SEC (8-0) since 1996 when they went 11-0 and won their first overall SEC Championship.
Berg went 3-1 in singles and doubles in wins over No. 13 Kentucky and Vanderbilt. He defeated the nation’s No. 5 ranked player, Bruno Agostinelli for his second win over a top 10 ranked player in the SEC and his highest win ever. With his win over Vanderbilt’s Vijay Paul, Berg improved to 8-3 at No.1 singles, 6-2 in the SEC. Berg is now 25-3 in the SEC for his career.
Thiemann went 2-0 against Kentucky and Vanderbilt, only dropping four games total. He clinched the victory over Vanderbilt to give the Rebels the 8-0 league start. Thiemann is 5-2 in the SEC.
The Rebels are on the road this weekend for a pair of matches. Friday, they will face LSU at 1 p.m. in Baton Rouge, followed by Arkansas in Fayetteville Sunday at 1 p.m.
This is the greatest Ole Miss tennis post in the history of the intertubes
this buddy of mine’s last blog post..Adopt A Highway…
tbom, will you email to me the picture you use for time filler? That may be my sister who ran away from home 10 years ago and I’d like to show my poor, still-grieving mom that she seems to be doing ok, though obviously not able to afford too many clothes.
It would be the Christian thing for you to do and it is Easter.
Yeah… I don’t care. =D
But LMAO @ your request for the photo.

Chris, as you know, tbom has a veritable treasure trove of funny stuff on his site. If he’s going to now offer up soft porn, I guess I’ll just become a squatter on his site hitting the refresh button. “What’s the next picture going to be? C’mon. What’s it going to be?”
Damn, I make myself sound like a pervert. I’m really a boring, happily married father of 2.3 children. You should see our .3 child. She’s special.
