Graceland Too to open its doors one last time BY LACEY RUSSELL dmeditor@gmail.com

Last Wednesday, journalists flocked to the town of Holly Springs to set up cameras on the front lawn of the home that once belonged to Elvis Presley eccentric Paul McLeod. The night before, he shot and killed a man inside his front door. The following day, McLeod was found dead inside his home. As the news of his sudden death spread, the number of cameras that sat in front of the white, barbed wire lions multiplied. The mysterious circumstances that surrounded the 161-year-old antebellum tourist attraction known as Graceland Too allured media outlets from across the nation. Soon after, social media erupted with comments of disbelief, dismay and grief. Perhaps the most shocked were the students of The University of Mississippi. A midnight pilgrimage to Graceland Too was often described as a rite of passage for Ole Miss students – something everyone should experience before they graduate. See MCLEOD, PAGE 5

Two students experience the World Cup BY LOGAN KIRKLAND thedmnews@gmail.com

As people from all around the globe obsessed over the 2014 FIFA World Cup for weeks, indulging in excitement and heartbreak, six Ole Miss students got to experience this phenomenon first hand on the world stage. Friends Jessica Hiskey and Jennifer Miller were two of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College students selected in the application process to partake in this world experience. Miller, a junior pharmacy major, said the honors college told her about this trip before

Opinion:

she even came to the university, and just knowing this opportunity was even a possibility definitely made her excited to be part of Ole Miss. After going through the application process Miller remembered when dean of the honors college Douglass Sullivan-Gonzalez called her to deliver the good news. “I remember I was in my dorm room alone, and I was jumping up and down and screaming; it was embarrassing,” Miller said, laughing. Hiskey, a junior chemistry major, said when she heard of her acceptance for the trip she could hardly contain her emo-

tions. “I was freaking out, jumping around the room,” Hiskey said. “It was just pure excitement.” Hiskey and Miller both expressed excitement of getting to view World Cup games in a foreign country, but with their excitement came a lot of nerves. Miller said while preparing for the trip her mother was constantly worrying about every detail and most importantly about their safety. “That started to make me nervous,” Miller said. Both Hiskey and Miller were not able to take Portuguese before their trip.

different fans from all different countries,” Hiskey said. Between what they had seen on television and what they had heard from different people the two did not know what to expect from Brazil. After experiencing the country themselves, they were able to make their own opinions. “There was a lot of art, dancing and music going on in the streets all the time, which is completely different from here,” Miller said. “They have a huge personality.” Hiskey said she was expecting Brazil to somewhat look like See WORLD CUP, PAGE 4

“I was also worried about safety,” Miller said. “I’ve never traveled out of the country either, so it was just going to be a whole new experience for me, but I was definitely excited.” After shaking their nerves both students were eager to experience the atmosphere of the World Cup. In their original plans they were going to to go to three games in Salvador. Even though seeing the United States play was not a part of their plans they knew this would still be an opportunity of a lifetime. “I was still super excited to just go to any of the games and be in the culture with all the

Letter to the editor I believe that it is a good argument to look at racism in gay culture. There are actually many white gay men who do not and would not dare to date a black gay man. It is one thing when the choice is made simply out of personal preference for appearance, but it is another when their reason for not dating black men is because they are disgusted at the mere thought of it. Somehow, it reminds me of how certain white people think that a white woman is “tainted” after having sexual relations with a black man. Yet, white gay men will still act out what they best describe as a “black woman,” yet do not even have black female friends, period - which is especially offensive. And if you do not have them as friends, you have not engaged in their culture

enough to have respect for it. Therefore, to me, blacks are used once again as entertainment or something else out of which they feel they can make a mockery. Certain black slang adopted by white gay men comes from a long history of black people being without access to educate and being unable to educate themselves, versus the white people who were always entitled to education. Drawling “chile” with your hands on your hips and so many other mannerisms that people stereotypically associate with black people, goes back to times of slavery. Black gay men usually emulate this because this is what we saw from the women in our families as well as in our communities. This is our Truth. This is our History. This is our culture.

COLUMN

Thanks, Obama Yesterday, President Barack Obama signed an executive order banning job discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, specifically for employees of federal contractors. Admittedly, the step in itself is small. Employees of federal contractors represent a fraction of the work force; congressional legislation would be required to enact this policy across the private sector (it is already in place for government workers). However, Obama’s motion has strengthened both of his roles as a progressive leader and LGBT supporter, and, if they weren’t before, his intensions to end all forms of LGBT discrimination are clear now. I, along with many other Americans, am very proud of our President, because very few times in our history have we seen a leader like him. Even in recent times, LGBT causes have not been supported by the majority, and to see a democratically elected leader take so many steps towards making this

country better for members of the LGBT community is thrilling. The thrills don’t come without their chills, though. Hearing some of the rhetoric from those opposed to these measures is in a way disturbing. On FoxNews.com, an opinion piece entitled “Obama’s LGBT Executive Order endangers religious liberty” appeared recently after the executive order was made. Now, I’m definitely here for religious liberty. Probably, all of us are — except maybe the author of this article, Todd Starnes, who probably isn’t opposed to the idea of a theocracy. At one point, Starnes includes a quote from Americans United for Separation of Church and State which reads, “Religious groups have no right to accept taxpayer money and engage in rank forms of discrimination ... Faith-based groups that tap the public purse should play by the same rules as everyone else and not expect special treatment.” He criticizes it by replying with “But that’s really not the point. This is about the federal government bullying religious groups that hold viewpoints it deems

inappropriate.” No, Todd Starnes. That really is the point. “Of the people, by the people, for the people” doesn’t have any asterisks or exceptions. You can’t expect to be paid with taxpayer dollars (from Christians, LGBT people, Atheists, Muslims, Tea Partiers and Socialists) and retain some perverted “right” to discriminate based on any factors to do with personal identity. And, honestly, that’s only the beginning of the point. Business and religion are separate institutions, so to think that you, as an employer, are exercising any religious liberty when you deny the job application of someone whose sexual identity your religion deems sinful or invalid is ludicrous. Furthermore, refusal to pay for your employee’s (who has rights of her own) birth control over your religious beliefs is equally baseless (sorry, SCOTUS). In light of these opposers’ sentiments, it is clear that what the Obama administration has been doing for the LGBT community is invaluable. Many would like to think that because some businesses are

privately owned they should, with, in this case, the excuse of rights to religious liberty, have the right to discriminate over issues of personal identity, and I fear that without protective measures from the government, we would witness many more instances of discrimination of this brand. So, yes, it excites me to no end when I see bigotry stopped in its tracks, and in this case, the one hitting the brakes is our President, Barack Obama.

America. She said there were tons of people in the streets in stands selling jerseys, fruits and vegetables with celebrations going on. “Apparently it’s not even just for the World Cup,” Hiskey said. “That’s how Salvador is.” Miller said the people in Salvador were very friendly, and anyone that could speak a little bit of English would come up and speak to them. “It seemed like they loved having people there for the World Cup,” Miller said. Hiskey said her experience with the people in Salvador was definitely a memorable one. During a night out with their host both Miller and Hiskey admired the live music and people that filled the streets. Miller said the hardest thing for her to deal with in their trip was the different food. “It looked really good, but it wasn’t very good,” Miller said. She said their host could not speak English, and they were cooked the same thing almost every night. “You didn’t know how to be polite in Portuguese, and tell her you didn’t want it,” Miller chuckled. “So you had to eat it. Though the two had not originally planned to attend any US games, they acquired tickets to the United States versus Germany game in what Miller said was one of the funnier moments in her experience. Hiskey was in a Groupme message with other Americans who were in Brazil and a man offered to sell his tickets. “An Indian guy from Ohio is the way he described himself,” Miller said. “ He walked up with a manilla envelope, handed us the tickets, and we handed him the money and that was it.” They said even though it seemed like a bad idea it was definitely worth it. The morning of the United States versus Germany game they looked outside and saw that it was raining a little bit, enjoyed their breakfast, then headed

down to the lobby to arrange a taxi to take them to the stadium that was located about 30 minutes away. The woman working at the desk said the cabs were not going to run due to flooding. Shocked, they frantically asked if there was any way for them to get a ride to the game and were informed there was a bus with two remaining open seats. They paid for the bus at the desk and waited with three other USA fans as the bus finally pulled up. “It was a bus full of Germans, and our two seats were in the back of the bus,” Hiskey said. After a while on the bus they reached a point in the road where cars and taxis were being turned around because of the flooding and only buses and larger vans were allowed to continue. “We saw people next to us in

the street pushing cars, trying to push motorcycles through the flood waters,” Hiskey said. “We easily could have been stuck in there.” Hiskey said she was scared but very glad they were with a group going to the game rather than just the two of them. “If we had been in a regular cab, I don’t know what we would have done,” Hiskey said. Miller and Hiskey got to see from an outsider’s perspective what the World Cup means to nations across the world. “Everyone was so passionate about their country and so proud,” Miller said. “It was just infectious,” Hiskey said “ I just wanted to start jumping around with them.” For them seeing these different countries compete was amazing, but when they were able to watch the United States play Germany they were over-

whelmed. “It was incredible,” Miller said. “There were chants and cheers the whole game, and everyone was standing up and showing how proud they were of our country.” Hiskey and Miller both play on the women’s soccer team and said being able to see their sport being played at such a high level was a very humbling experience. Hiskey said there is a huge difference between watching games on TV and in person. She said watching warm ups you could see how fluid the movement of the ball was and it felt like you were a part of the game. “It felt like we were about to play a game,” Hiskey said. Miller said seeing soccer at the international level was an enticing experience. “It was just awesome to see that you do the same thing here

in Mississippi that people across the world are doing too,” Miller said. After this international experience both students know they have learned some crucial skills, and have taken more than just memories back from their trip. Miller said she is confident in her ability to travel and her ability to interact with people from different backgrounds. “We were there basically on our own,” Miller said “We planned this whole trip by ourselves and we were safe and smart the whole time.” Hiskey said this has increased her confidence in traveling, but what she has taken away from this experience is the maturity in her decision-making. “It was a sense of independence, and knowing we can handle ourselves,” Hiskey said. “If we can do that then it should be easy to do anything here.”

MCLEOD,

Students would arrive by the busload at all hours of the night to visit McLeod and his vast collection of Elvis oddities. He’d let them in with open arms. His attorney Phillip Knecht said McLeod regarded students of the “Ole Miss school” as his own family. “Those are the people that came every single time,” Knecht said. “Those are the people that Paul loved.” Many Ole Miss students mutually shared the feeling of adoration. They didn’t take the 35-minute drive from Oxford to be wowed by the massive collection of TV Guides that mention Presley. They came to be amused by the owner. Andrew Chase, senior banking and finance major, paid his homage to Graceland Too in the first semester of his sophomore year. He recalled McLeod as being an animated storyteller and impressionable entertainer. “If you’re wanting to go see Elvis stuff, you’re going to go to Memphis to the real Graceland, or to Tupelo to his birthplace,” Chase said. “You went to Graceland Too to see Paul and experience that side. It’s something everybody wanted to experience, especially people at Ole Miss.” Chase said he was hoping to pay McLeod a second visit sometime this summer. After finding out about the death of museum’s owner, he realized this desire would no longer be fulfilled. “All of my roommates this year have never been,” Chase said. “We just kept saying, ‘We’ve got to go before we graduate.’ Now we don’t have that opportunity anymore.”

Along with the inside decor, the outside of McLeod’s home played an important role in his tour.

On Aug. 12, however, students who did not visit Graceland Too while McLeod was alive will have another opportunity to walk its halls. In partnership with the City of Holly Springs the museum will be hosting a memorial event, Graceland Too Forever: A Celebration of Paul McLeod during the Elvis Presley Week. For the first time since McLeod’s death, Graceland Too will again be open to the public for tours.

against his heart, and repeatedly said, “Can you hear my heartbeat? Goes boom, boom, boom.” The crowd in a pensive euphoria began chanting “boom, boom, boom” in a heartfelt tone each time Cave asked the question. The heartbeat is felt by many in his loyal fan base and will be felt by all who have Cave’s voice bestowed upon their ears in the future. Some of the greatest art receives its deserved recognition posthumously. Nick Cave prowls in the background of pop culture and mainstream media, but his devotion to his fans and sincerity of his work are what make him a hidden gem of true creative genius.

of moonshine bootlegging between mountainfolk and the mafia. It is a cinematic wonder and one of the best works for some of the actors, but is all the more interesting due to Cave’s involvement. This article is a sort of contradiction, putting Cave’s name in the spotlight, but serves due justice to the artist whose legacy will subsist and work will be marveled at by music scholars years from now. Cave’s performance at this year’s Bonnaroo Music Festival was an emotional rendering for all who were there.

had. Can’t remember anything at all.” Cave could be suggesting that Cyrus is spiraling toward the same fate as Johnson. “Floating in a pool” has a clear sound that is reminiscent of death. To say “you’re the best girl I’ve ever had” may indicate that she was the devil’s greatest prize from pop culture destined for destruction like many others. The lyrics in this track are absurdly beautiful. It doesn’t conform to the norm, but tells a story in an unorthodox manner, mocking today’s ideals. Cave’s music can be representative of love as well. In “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I,” his song “O Children” plays on a radio following the announcer’s declaration of the day’s departed. The protagonists, Harry and Hermione, take one another’s hands in this moment and dance to the uplifting music as they forget the troubles of the world in the film’s most heartwarming scene. The lyrics offer a journey, by means of a “train that goes to the kingdom.” Death is present in this track, like in “Higgs Boson Blues,” but it is presented as something to be eluded. Harry Potter is not the only film that features Cave on its soundtrack. His music has been in an array of genres: “I Am Sam,” “Shrek 2” and “West Of Memphis,” for instance. Music may be Cave’s precedent in the film industry, but he is an accomplished screenwriter too; notably, he wrote “Lawless,” which starred Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy. Cave’s role in this film is intriguing because of the story being so diverse from his upbringing in Australia. Based off of Matt Bondurant’s novel “The Wettest County in the World,” “Lawless” is a tale of three brothers in the backwoods of Virginia, entangled in a web

Nick Cave, the acclaimed Australian frontman of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, is one of the music industry and film industry’s greatest minds. He is a diamond in the rough, dwelling in the shadows of the mainstream mayhem as to continue to clandestinely build his artistic arsenal of genius work. Cave is an avid musician with occasional stints in screenwriting. His writing, whether for an album or movie, is poetic and contains deep underlying themes of disdain for today’s media. “Push the Sky Away,” the band’s most recent album, has a solemn undertone throughout its entirety but provides release for the consumers’ ears by way of its tuneful transitions

between tracks. “Higgs Boson Blues” is a track with many references to the music industry’s past and present, like Robert Johnson and Miley Cyrus. “He got the real killer groove. Robert Johnson and the devil man. Don’t know who’s gonna rip off who,” Cave adds in homage to the blues artist. Johnson was a pioneer in the blues genre and one of the first members of the 27 Club, a collection of musicians who died at 27 years old, including Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse. This quote plays out a scenario in which Johnson and the devil bargain with one another, musical talent for a soul. At the end of the track, Cave says, “Miley Cyrus floats in a swimming pool in Toluca Lake. And you’re the best girl I’ve ever

workshops. All of the proceeds from the schedules directly fund next year’s fringe festival. Those who choose not to buy a schedule can instead track their favorite performing artists for details of certain performances, or simply just explore Oxford to find interesting events. Locality is key with this year’s performers. One performer to note is Lacey Roop, a nationally recognized slam poet and Tupelo native. Roop will be leading two different events — a spoken word performance and a book signing. Memphis will be represented with performances from Fresh Ground and Johnson and Pounders. Longshot Improv, a group hailing from the Mississippi Coast, will have a show during the festival. Louisiana-based Moonbot Studios will help bring a theatric edge to Art-er Limits by hosting a movie screening and a Q&A session. Jeremy Fisher, known for collaborating with Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken, will continue this trend by hosting both a demonstration and workshop. One existing event that will be joining the Art-er Limit’s lineup is the yART Sale. Literally meaning a yard sale for art, the yART Sale started last year as a way for people to sell or get rid of art and supplies. Held at the Powerhouse, it was unexpectedly successful with a turnout of over 600 people. According to Sanford, the yART Sale is a great opportunity for art students, since it is an easy

way to sell unnecessary supplies and artwork from classes. Not only is the yART Sale a wonderful networking opportunity, but the proceeds from the event go to 9 Lives Cat Rescue. Taking center stage during Art-er Limits are the venues hosting the variety of events. Venues include the Powerhouse, the Courthouse lawn, Visit Oxford, the White House on South Lamar. Southside Gallery, McEwen’s, City Grocery, the University of Mississippi Museum, Cicada for Him, Burns-Belfry Church and

more. “It’s a way to get our business community involved with hosting events they wouldn’t otherwise,” Sanford said. Not only are local businesses benefitting from Art-er Limits, but also the many organizations in the Oxford-Lafayette County area. Venues will take minimal proceeds, and the rest will benefit the performers and local organizations. “The goal is to try to pair up with as many organizations in Oxford to make a true community event,” Sanford said.

Art-er Limits will do more than just entertain festivalgoers. It will enrich the community and those who receive the fringe experience. With an expected turnout of 2000 people, Art-er Limits is sure to become a staple in the Oxford festival scene. Tickets can be purchased online at oxfordfringefest.com. The festival will be from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Aug. 1-2. Individuals with any questions are encouraged to call the YAC office at 662-236-6429.

Next week, a new player will be introduced to the Oxford festival scene, and it is sure to be a game changer. The Art-er Limits, Oxford’s first fringe festival, will be making its debut on Friday, Aug.1 and Saturday, Aug. 2. More than80 events will occur during this two-day span, transforming the city into an art lover’s paradise. Although Double Decker and the Blues Festival take precedence where cultural events in oxford are concerned, other festivals have come and gone. In this case, two festivals were lost this year, leaving Oxford barren compared to its normally full event schedule. “We lost the triathlon and the Shakespeare festival and needed to fill the gap,” said Stacey Sanford, program and outreach coordinator for the Yoknapatawpha Arts Festival. The plan for a fringe festival emerged with this need for a new event. The idea was simple: host a festival that exemplifies all the arts the MidSouth region has to offer. With this concept, the varying events cater to every taste and interest, whether it is food, poetry, music, dance, art or film. Oxford’s fringe festival is concurrent with the definition of the term. Fringe festivals originated in the mid-twentieth century from festival-style theatre, but have further evolved over the past decades. Fringe events do not follow certain guidelines or genres, and usually strive to be as “out of the box” as possible. The name of the festival suggests the same uniqueness. Oxford’s fringe festival is named the Art-er Limits, which is a play on the name of the television show “The Outer Limits,” according to Sanford. Indeed, Art-er Limits will definitely be located on the fringe of Oxford’s cultural scene. All of next weekend’s events will not be 100 percent accessible: with such a large number of performances, workshops, and exhibits occurring, many will overlap. Festivalgoers are advised to plan ahead of time and schedule their weekend according to the events most interesting to them. “There are two ways to festival,” Sanford said. “There’s the totally free way — explore, discover, hangout and experience — and there’s the second way, which is to purchase a festival schedule with bands, showtimes, venues, and descriptions of each performance.” The festival schedule can be purchased for $5, and allows individuals to plan their weekend with knowledge of all performances, events, and

Prewitt makes Walter Camp Award watch list NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Ole Miss’ Cody Prewitt (Bay Springs, Mississippi) has been named to the 2014 Walter Camp Player of the Year Watch List, the Walter Camp Football Foundation announced Friday. This is the fourth watch list on which Prewitt has appeared this preseason. The Rebels’ senior safety is also a candidate for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and the Chuck Bednarik Award, which both honor the nation’s best defensive player, and the Thorpe Award, which goes to the top defensive back. Prewitt earned first team AllAmerica honors and was a Thorpe Award semifinalist as a free safety last year after leading the SEC and ranking among the nation’s leaders with six interceptions. He has been tabbed by most of the preseason magazines to repeat as an All-American in 2014. Florida State sophomore quarterback Jameis Winston, the 2013 Walter Camp Player of the Year award recipient, headlines the 2014 watch list. Ten players on the 2014 watch list, including Winston, have previously earned Walter Camp All-America honors. In all, 42 schools are represented on the list with Alabama having three players. There are 33 offensive players (16 quarterbacks, 8 receivers, 7 running backs, and 2 offensive linemen) and 17 from the defensive side of the ball (7 defensive backs, 5 defensive lineman, and 5 linebackers). “We are proud to continue the great work of Walter Camp and recognize the best college football players in the nation,” foundation president James Monico said. “This watch list is a great start to what is shaping up to be another exciting year of college football.”

The watch list will be narrowed to 10 semifinalists in mid-November. The 2014 Walter Camp Player of the Year recipient, which is voted on by the 125 NCAA Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors, will be announced live on ESPN SportsCenter on Thursday, Dec. 11. The winner will then receive his trophy at the Foundation’s annual national awards banquet on Jan. 17, 2015 at the Yale University Commons in New Haven. Please note: Appearing on the preseason Watch List is not a requirement for a player to win the Walter Camp award or be named to the All-American team. Rebels on 2014 award watch lists: Serderius Bryant – CFPA Linebacker Trophy Evan Engram – Mackey Award, CFPA Tight End Trophy Robert Nkemdiche - Nagurski Trophy, Outland Trophy, Lombardi Award Cody Prewitt - Walter Camp Award, Bednarik Award, Nagurski Trophy, Thorpe Award, CFPA Defensive Back Trophy Deterrian Shackelford - Lott IMPACT Trophy Laquon Treadwell – Biletnikoff Award, CFPA Wide Receiver Trophy Laremy Tunsil – Outland Trophy Bo Wallace - Maxwell Award, O’Brien Award, CFPA Quarterback Trophy

Dear ESPN, bring Gameday to the Grove BY DYLAN RUBINO thedmsports@gmail.com

As I woke up Monday morning, I turned on ESPN like I usually do, and I saw Hugh Freeze being interviewed live on the set of “Sportscenter.” It was your typical interview. The questions were the same. “How will your team this year stack up in the SEC West?” “Is this the year that Ole Miss breaks through and gets to Atlanta?” One quote from Freeze caught me in particular, however. “We need to get College Gameday to the Grove.” Since 1993, when College Gameday did its first ever road show, the show has never been to Oxford. It blows my mind. How has the most notable college football pre-game show never been to the best tailgating site in the country? It doesn’t help that the Rebels haven’t been relevant in the SEC since Eli Manning 114 Courthouse Square

last played quarterback in 2003. We all remember the Houston Nutt, Jevan Snead hype in 2009, but that doesn’t count. The quality of football teams does factor into the decision for being the host site for College Gameday, but it shouldn’t be the deciding factor. The Grove in Oxford, Mississippi, at The University of Mississippi is the best potential host site for College Gameday. Better than any other school in the country. It’s obvious why. Our tailgating scene is the prime standard of college football tailgating. Dubbed as the “holy grail of tailgating sites” by Sporting News, and “the mother and mistress of outdoor ritual mayhem” by the New York Times, there’s nowhere else to enjoy the pregame festivities of a college football game. There is nothing better than seeing the Mississippi magnolias, elms, ancient oak trees and the finest green grass in the state covered with thou-

During an Ole Miss home football game fans fill the Grove.

sands of tents and Rebel fans dressed in their Sunday best outfits. The tents are filled with fine kitchenware, chandeliers, dollies and fine china with some of the best food and drinks you can find in the South. The smell of the barbecue and traditional Southern foods such as fried chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffed eggs and much more will quickly make your stomach happy. It’s also true when they say the best looking girls are in Oxford, Mississippi. Just throwing that out there. The random yelling of the school chant is something that gives me goose bumps every time, at least for me. If you have a pulse, you should feel a tingle down your spine when you hear the question, “Are you ready?” It’s a sea of red and blue when you come to the Grove

on a Saturday afternoon in the fall. No other moment shows Rebel pride better than the “Walk of Champions.” The Ole Miss football team is dropped off at the “Walk Of Champions” arch on the east side of The Grove and they walk down the brick path through the Grove as they are surrounded by fans on both sides of the sidewalk. It’s a tradition unlike any other. When I turn on “College Gameday” every Saturday morning, I see the usual suspects hosting the show: Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, LSU, Michigan, USC, Oregon, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Texas. The list goes on and on. All of these programs mentioned are some of the most storied programs in the country, but doesn’t it get old going to the same universities every year?

I know Ole Miss hasn’t been one of the best teams in the country recently, but Hugh Freeze is building something special in Oxford. At SEC Media Days, Hugh Freeze said his third year as head coach of the Rebels will be “all in, relentless effort.” The opportunity is there for Ole Miss to host “College Gameday.” Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, and Mississippi State are all at VaughtHemingway stadium this season. The exposure will be there. If there is any year where Ole Miss can be the perfect host site for the show, it’s this season. So come down to Oxford, ESPN. We’ll have our barbecue, gameday tents and red Solo cups waiting for you.
