The Ole Miss Rebels boarded a plane and headed that way for the first time in 14 years under head coach Mike Bianco.Needless to say, he was a little excited.

And though Ole Miss is headed to the College World Series for the first time since 1972, the Rebels were still loose enough to have a little fun on the airplane.Group selfie time!

The welcome sign couldn't just say "Ole Miss", but hey, it was a nice gesture. At least the friendly Midwesterners didn't make this mistake twice:

Once on the ground, the Rebels did what everyone does in Omaha - eat steak.
Great 1st meal in OMAHA thanks to the Old Mattress Factory! Of course, Steak. pic.twitter.com/YVa1iW7Zhx

Of course! I'm guessing Orvis ate his medium rare, and Bianco had his well done. Just a hunch.
Back at the hotel, the Rebels were surprised with Nike swag. They liked.
