'JUST CHILLING': Ole Miss Rebels Release Humorous Social Media Post During Bye Week
The Ole Miss Rebels are in the midst of a bye week, and while the team begins to look ahead to its matchup with the Auburn Tigers, this idle time comes with the expectation of some rest at the halfway point of the season.
The Rebels have struggled with injuries on offense, including wide receiver Jordan Watkins who reportedly sustained a hand injury earlier this week in practice. So, while the Rebels try to get healthy during this down time, what's the plan?
"Just chilling," if you ask Jaxson Dart.
The Ole Miss social media team released a simple video cut from a Rebels press conference where Dart's quote, without any context, is "Really, just chilling," seeming to reference the Ole Miss bye week. Of course, that wasn't the context of the original quote, but it's a creative way to keep fan's engaged on X, the platform previously known as Twitter.
You can see the post below.
Ole Miss currently has a 5-1 record at the halfway point of the season, including a 2-1 mark in SEC play after back-to-back wins over the LSU Tigers and Arkansas Razorbacks. Despite not playing this week, there are a few key games for Ole Miss fans to keep an eye on during Saturday's slate, including Alabama vs. Arkansas and Texas A&M vs. Tennessee.
The Rebels will return to action next Saturday when they travel to face the Auburn Tigers. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. CT, and the game will be televised on ESPN.
