Billy Brewer roaming the sidelines leading the Ole Miss Rebels
Former Ole Miss football coach Billy Brewer was moved from ICU to a med-surge room last week, according to Brewerâs son, Brett.
âHe has improved,â Brett said. âThey did a couple of procedures last week. We are looking like we are making some progress. It is a slow process a lot of times when you are dealing with a stroke as you have to go back and relearn and retrain your brain to tell your body to do certain things ⌠thatâs where he is.â
Brett praised the hospital staff claiming theyâve âdone a great job.â
âWe are just going day by day to see if we can make some daily improvements and get him stronger,â Brett said. âThere are some good signs right now. Strokes are a touch and go thing; you never know what you are dealing with. We are encouraged by the progress that he has made over the last few days.â
âHis vision was affected by this stroke,â Brett added. âSo thatâs the one area that we always have to worry about ⌠that he doesnât have his vision as well as he did. If things continue to work out, we hope to move him to a rehab facility in the near future.â
Billy Brewer is âfighting the good fightâ in the intensive care unit of Baptist Hospital-North Mississippi in Oxford encouraged by signs he used to motivate Rebel players years ago. His granddaughter, Bailey, and his close friend Carol hung the signs in his hospital room.
âOur daughter Bailey put up signs that say âAttitudeâ. âWork Ethicâ and âDisciplineâ the themes he used through his coach career,â said Brett Brewer, Billâs son.
Brett said Coach Brewer had a mild stroke that affected his vision and balance a week ago and a slight heart condition. He has been moved to ICU for close observation.
âDad is 83 and in great condition for his age. He is a fighter and is not going to give up. We are so grateful for the love, prayers and support of the Rebel Nation,â Brett said.
Brett is a journalism graduate of Ole Miss and his son, Brogan, will enroll in the Meek School of journalism and New media this Fall.

Brewer played quarterback at Ole Miss under coach Johnny Vaught from 1957 â 1960. He began his head coaching college career in 1974 at Southeastern Louisiana after spending two seasons there as an assistant. In 1980, went to coach at Louisiana Tech for three seasons.

He got the call to come coach the Ole Miss Rebels in 1983 to replace Steve Solan who went 20-34-1 in five seasons at the helm. In his first season, he guided the Rebels to an Independence Bowl berth against Air Force. It marked the first regular season winning mark since the 1977 season.
Brewer was at the helm of the Rebels for ten seasons and guided the team to five postseason bowls. The Rebels won three of those games.

Theora Hamblett
The public is invited to attend the J.D. Williams Library for a Brown Bag lecture Tuesday as Dr. Ed Meek, assistant vice chancellor emeritus for Public Relations and publisher of HottyToddy.com, and Marti Funke, collections manager of the University Museum and Historic Houses, will share about âThe Remarkable Life of Theora Hamblett: Stories of Friendship and Art.â
In the lecture, which is part of the spring lecture series hosted by the University of Mississippi Librariesâ Archives and Special Collections, Meek and Funke will discuss the life, legacy and artwork of Mississippi artist Theora Hamblett (1885-1977).Â
Theora Hamblett
Some of Hamblettâs most prominent series of paintings include the âChildrenâs Gamesâ collection and the âDreams and Visionsâ collection, which Hamblett only gave to close friends making the collection rare and particularly special for the University Museum to have on display.Â
By the end of the â60s, Hamblettâs paintings were featured in major collections â the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Rockefellerâs art collection and others. UNICEF also used Hamblettâs paintings for Christmas cards in the â60s.
In Hamblettâs own home, one could find many of the âDreams and Visionsâ paintings, and she would tour trusted guests through the series. She only let a few of the paintings go to close friends during her lifetime. When she died, the University Museum received the remaining paintings from her home.Â
The Theora Hamblett lecture takes place at noon, Tuesday, March 6, in the Faulkner Room of the Archives and Special Collections of the J.D. Williams Library on the Ole Miss campus.

Oxford isnât the only municipal jewel in North Mississippiâs crown. Just up the road on Highway 7 lies Holly Springs, a charming town with an array of historical homes, churches and museums, plus a rich African-American and Native American heritage. A town graced with beauty, plush butterfly gardens and natural springs, Holly Springs holds various opportunities for tour groups.
Visitors can start the morning with a delightful driving tour of more than 25 antebellum homes. A cultural map of the city helps you get the most out of your experience with a driving and walking tour guide of these canât-miss sights.
Step inside Burton Place (Fleur de Lis), and its splendor will astonish the group. Burton Place was built in 1848 yet has undergone a total restoration since then. The walls are two feet thick with two sets of frames for each window. This federal home contains many original pieces of furniture, including the Sam Houston bed. One of the 19th centuryâs most colorful figures, Houston, who famously helped Texas achieve its independence from Mexico, was a frequent visitor to Burton Place. And Mary Malvina Shields Burton, who built this lovely home, has many descendants still living in Holly Springs.Â
Next, you can delight in viewing the work of one of the Southâs most important artists at the Kate Freeman Clark Art Gallery. Clark left Holly Springs for New York in the early 1890s with the hopes of being more than just another girl from the South. She studied with one of Americaâs most influential impressionists, William Merrit Chase, and became known as one of his most accomplished disciples. Later, she returned to her home in Holly Springs with a legacy destined to thrive throughout eternity, bequeathing, as part of her estate, hundreds of paintings and sketches to the people of Holly Springs. Clark also produced plans for creating a âmuseum of fine and social arts.â
Your next stop should be Annieâs Home Cooking for lunch, where theyâre serving up some downright authentic southern food. After all, memories are made around the table. Annieâs Home Cooking is an absolute gem, with superb food, service and atmosphere. A chat with Ms. Annie herself will convince you that patronizing her restaurant was a great choice!Â
If your schedule permits you to spend an additional day in Holly Springs, make sure to visit Montrose, home of the Holly Springs Garden Club. This beautiful home, circa 1858, was designed in the Greek Revival Architectural style as a two-story mansion with red bricks and white Corinthian columns. You are sure to be amazed!
And donât forget about the Marshall County Historical Museum, one of the most interesting and unusual destinations Holly Springs has to offer. Stop in for another meal at Phillips Grocery, where your tour group can order some world-famous burgers. Youâll also want to visit Tysonâs Drug store to indulge in ice cream and old-town fountain soda and The Magnolia Mansion, a stately Gothic-antebellum home.
For more information or to schedule a tour of Holly Springs, contact the Holly Springs Tourism & Recreation Bureau at 888-687-4765 or visit www.visithollysprings.com.

Thad Cochran.
U.S. Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, today announced his intention to resign from the U.S. Senate effective April 1, 2018.
âI regret my health has become an ongoing challenge. I intend to fulfill my responsibilities and commitments to the people of Mississippi and the Senate through the completion of the 2018 appropriations cycle, after which I will formally retire from the U.S. Senate.
âIt has been a great honor to serve the people of Mississippi and our country. Iâve done my best to make decisions in the best interests of our nation, and my beloved state. My top concern has always been my constituents in Mississippi. My hope is by making this announcement now, a smooth transition can be ensured so their voice will continue to be heard in Washington, D.C. My efforts, and those of my staff, to assist them will continue and transfer to my successor.â
Cochran was first elected to the Senate in 1978, becoming the first Republican in more than 100 years to win a statewide election in Mississippi. He is the 10th-longest serving Senator in U.S. history. Cochran previously served three terms in the House of Representatives.
