There’s a pattern I’ve noticed when it comes to Ole Miss and Oxford.
For years, when Ole Miss football was mediocre or irrelevant nationally, people loved romanticizing the place. They’d talk about how they’d always wanted to visit Oxford. They’d bring up William Faulkner, the food scene, the music, the charm of the town, the Grove, the pageantry. Ole Miss was treated like this fascinating Southern experience everyone wanted to see for themselves.
But the second Ole Miss became a real threat in college football, the second it started competing for top recruits, playoff spots, and legitimacy on the national stage the tone changed. Suddenly, people are reaching for every negative stereotype they can find, using the school’s history as ammunition when it becomes convenient competitively or to score points on social media.
@LukeJ_23@rmeredith2053@cadesmith_3 Oh yeah, you want him to stand stiff legged as the pitch comes in? Good Lord you don’t know ball.
How about where the ball crosses the plate, where the catcher catches the ball, and then how far he tries to frame the ball back down lol
@sip_central@rebelinc@SwayzeCrazies My statement is STILL true a year later lol. Judd hit a clutch HR last night, I was as happy as any Ole Miss fan was.
Thru 12 SEC games he’s hitting .277 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs. Still nothing like Kemp in his last year
