The headline out of the weekend is a loud one: No. 9 Ole Miss answered its Florida stumble with a 52-17 dismantling of Vanderbilt in Nashville, and Sunday’s coverage is still unpacking what it meant — Pete Golding’s blunt message, a defense that rediscovered its bite, and a Top 10 hold with No. 13 Missouri now on deck in Oxford. Below are the freshest links across football, basketball, baseball and soccer, newest first. Hotty Toddy.

Pete Golding’s Blunt Message Behind Ole Miss’ Bounce-Back Win Over Vanderbilt
Sun., Oct. 11 · last 24 hours. Golding did not sugarcoat the bounce-back, insisting nothing schematic changed: “There wasn’t one new call that we put in for this game that wasn’t already a part of the system.” His warning for the weeks ahead was just as blunt — teams that don’t show up every week “are going to get exposed.” (The Rebel Walk)
