What an absolutely incredible moment for the Branch family in Kolby Branch's final collegiate AB, getting to high five his brother rounding the bases while parents are in stands.
Can't script it.
Following Ole Miss' season-ending loss at the College World Series, Mike Bianco told us he has "the coolest job in the world."
The story of the 2026 Rebels baseball team reminded me why I love my job, and that college sports are going to be OK. A column: https://t.co/JehKmOBU2Y
So tough to close the chapter on a college baseball career, but they always end, and Omaha is a great place to finish.
Will closed his Rebel career the same way he started it. Homeruns.
Proud of how he competed all year and especially this week in Omaha. This senior group got Ole Miss back to the CWS and fought hard every day. Grateful for the ride with this program and these guys.
Thanks to @CoachMikeBianco, @MClementBSB, @15Lafferty, @coachmangrum and the staff for everything they poured into them. Thanks to @KeithCarterOM for being one of the best ADs I’ve been around.
@WillFurniss love you, son. Hell of a way to go. As always, it works out the way it’s supposed to.
It’s a team full of really good people led by a really good man. That matters, and they treat the media and opponents and pretty much everybody with respect. It’s a group fans should be proud of.
More content coming tonight, tomorrow and always, but that concludes my 21st season on the beat. Appreciate you all, including the ones I’ve muted and you don’t even know it. Football will be here soon.
Omaha can't be all that matters, and then you get there and it's not all that matters.
Didn't play well for two games. The biggest reason they were in Omaha didn't have good weekends.
Good year. Proud of this program.
OleMiss baseball coach Mike Bianco says he's enjoyed watching Will Furniss, Hunter Elliott and Judd Utermark grow from freshmen to seniors.
