Rebel Spirit on the March With a Musical Twist

BY Jack Lawton

Rebel spirit was on display all day and night Saturday and HottyToddy.com writer/photographer Callie Daniels captured the images — from Rebelettes to Rebel fans to Rebel Pride of the South musicians and cheerleaders.
These images put you right there on the Vaught turf:

Marine Gunnery Sgt. Stephen Roberts returned to cheer on the Rebels!

Note: Those who watched the Ole Miss play a home game against the Texas Longhorns in 2011 may remember Sgt. Roberts (aka “Ole Miss Screamin’ Marine”) hollering “TOUCHDOWN!” at Marquise Goodwin. Here is a .gif of that awesome moment. Sgt. Roberts also started the Hotty Toddy cheer last season. We were glad to see our rebel-hearted alumni back for the Homecoming.
HaltimeBand
A magical evening had the right music and the right Rebel pride.

This fan says it all. A sweet night.
