continuing with our tour of southern football, blakey & i headed down to oxford, mississippi with the mcgowans for a football day you really need to experience. ole miss, my friends, knows how to party. they are all about southern hospitality, tailgating, & even throw in a little football. you just have to see it.
the place to be in oxford is the grove - a 10-acre tailgating mecca in the middle of campus with tent after tent after tent & people as far as you can see. historically, the grove was full of beautiful chandeliers & large flower arrangements & liquor only. in fact, beer is technically still not allowed in the grove, although this rule certainly isn't upheld, as long as you're drinking out of a solo cup. fellas wear collared shirts & ladies wear dresses. & everyone is oh-so-kind. it really is an experience.
after a wonderful afternoon of tailgating, you can find a football game being played down the street. but as we learned in oxford - "we may not win every game, but we never lose a party."
love love,
kjp.
