Interesting place. The main tailgating area is called The Grove, which is the quad between the student center and the stadium, and it's basically a tailgate tent city. Everyone puts their stuff in either wagons, or bungie cords it onto their rolling coolers, or carries their food, drinks, etc..., and heads over to the tailgate. And all drinks have to be in a cup (some law having to do with Ole Miss being in the county and not in the city) so you see these stacks and stacks of cups everywhere. A lot of both men and women dress up for the games; I've never seen so many women walking around in high heels to a football game. And given how wet and muddy it was, that made for some interesting walking. Place was packed. Only other thing I did was go into the town. Back in the early 40's, my Mom was a beautician and worked for a lady there in Oxford, so I walked around to see some of the places she used to go.
Otherwise it was cool and damp, I had good seats, and Snead can't hit the broad side of a barn. That's not to say the Bama QB was much better, he just happened to hit the barn a couple of times. Bama has a good D, but I wouldn't say it was any better than Ole Miss' D. It's just that when Bama got the ball they could hold on for 5 or 6 plays, whereas Ole Miss was 3 and out and their D just finally got tired. Bama is beatable to a team that can score and has even a half-way decent D.
