The Rebels will be lead by head coach Mike Bianco. Bianco is building a powerhouse at Ole Miss where he has had 5 post season appearances out of his six seasons at Old Miss including 3 straight regionals and back to back super regionals. The Rebels were within 1 out of reaching the College World Series in 2005, losing the deciding game to eventual national champion Texas.
The Rebels lost the deciding game in last years 06 Super Regional to the Miami Hurricanes.
Rebels fans can find great Merchandise and Apparel, Tickets, and Baseball Caps on these pages.
Under Bianco attendance at Rebel baseball games have skyrocketed (#5 nationally in 07). Several games have had nearly 10,000 fans and more in attendance. The Rebels lost top assistant coach Dan McDonnell, who was named head coach for the Louisville Cardinals at the end of the season and Stuart Lake who returned to his native state of South Carolina. However the Rebs replaced them with South Alabama assistant Rob Reinstetle who is considered to be one of the top young recruiters in the country and Kyle Bunn and Carl Lafferty. Lafferty served Ole Miss as the administrative assistant last season while Bunn served as volunteer coach. The 2007 Ole Miss Rebels Baseball team is considered young but still experienced. They could compete for the national title this season as well as the 2008 season as the Rebels should have a solid nucleus returning next year.
A telling early season test will be when Ole Miss plays a three game series against 13th ranked UCLA March 9 - 11 in Oxford.
The Ole Miss Rebels Baseball team is the defending SEC Baseball Tournament Champion. Bianco has experience on the national scale as he has won the national championship while an assistant coach at his alma mater, LSU. While Bianco was LSU's catcher the Tigers finished 3rd in the College World Series. LSU courted Bianco last year to return to LSU as the head coach to replace Smoke Lavell, however Bianco signed a contract extension with Ole Miss as he plans to continue to keep the Rebels as one of the nations most elite programs. As long as Bianco is leading Ole Miss Rebels Baseball, fans expect them to compete on a national level season after season.
