Mims Mason -- SEC Fan of the Year

Mims seems to enjoy being outside. Robert seems to enjoy going to Ole Miss sporting events. This results in Mims going to a lot of Ole Miss sporting events. After an eventful Sunday morning of Church and brunch she headed off to watch some SEC tennis. Ole Miss took care of the Vanderbilt Commodores with a 6-1 win. This got Robert thinking...Mims has been to 3 Ole Miss tennis matches. Ole Miss has won all 3. Not bad, but then again Ole Miss is #2 in the nation in Tennis and rarely loses a home tennis match. Off to baseball.



Well lookie here. Ole Miss just swept Kentucky, and Mims attended all three games of the series. And looking back she has attended 5 other baseball games in her lifetime (Rebels won all 5 of those too) bringing her baseball record to 8-0. Now that is a pretty good record. But again, the Rebels are pretty good at baseball and win more home games than not.



Lets go back to Basketball. Seeing how Basketball is an indoor sport she only attended 1 game. That game happened to be the Kentucky game. The Rebels beat Kentucky that night and looking back I think Mims had at least a little to do with the upset win.



Ok, so she has a good record with Spring sports...Not so fast my friend. Mims, despite being less than 2 months old when the regular season ended, made it to 2 Football games last year. In those 2 games, Ole Miss not only won, but won convincingly...by a combined score of 104 to 0. That is correct, the defense has never given up a point while Mims is in attendance. Another interesting fact is that Ole Miss football is 6-1 since her birth, and that one loss came to Alabama when she was 5 days old. I think any loss that occurs when you are less than a week old does not count but I will have to check the rule book to be sure. She also went to the football scrimmage this weekend and I am pretty sure the rebels won it too.

So if you are counting she is 13-0 lifetime in all Ole Miss sporting event she has attended. If anyone knows of another fan out there with a better record let her know because Mims would like to take them to dinner.
