Vaught–Hemingway Stadium

So let's start with the week that Ole Miss had three weeks ago because that explains this whole situation of what's going on and maybe what Ole Miss is about to have.

September 19th, Ole Miss and Oxford, Lane Kiffin walks back into Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, college game days in the Grove.

Ole Miss wins 32-24 and jumps to number four in the country.

Jubilation all around the program for about a week.

Ole Miss and Vanderbilt.

By the way, Ole Miss and Missouri, the time officially set for next Saturday, that game in Oxford at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium will be a 2.30 start again.

So another 2.30 start.

The Rebels and the Tigers next Saturday.

It was just a matter of would they all show up, and most of them had.

As one of the great Southern football rivalries and the history of collegiate football, LSU and Ole Miss about to get underway here in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

The LSU Fighting Tigers need a win here tonight.

And a win next Friday versus Arkansas in Tiger Stadium in order to play the Georgia Bulldogs and the Georgia Dome in Atlanta for the SEC Championship.

And we are back on the Regions Bank Halftime Show.

LSU leading Ole Miss at halftime.

And now let's go back out to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and Doug Morrow.

Doug?

Yeah.

I'll always be a Hardy truther, because he opened for Morgan Wallen in Vaught-Hemingway when Morgan Wallen got too fucked up the night before.

Yeah.

And did too many drugs.

And for Daniel Hill, headed back to his home state of Mississippi, where he grew up not far from Starkville, there are certain games that if you're a coach, you know that guys are getting up more for these than some of the other ones.

I remember years ago, uh, I was covering an Alabama-Ole Miss game, and Byron Young was like the fifth or sixth best defensive lineman on Alabama's team, and he had the single best game for Alabama in a game at Vaught-Hemingway.

And after the game he said, "Hell yeah, this means something to me.

Playing an old s- uh, school from where I'm from, it, that means something to me." I'm getting four involved in the offense early and often because we know what a bull he is in the run game.

Yeah.

And maybe had that game been involved in Hemingway Stadium, we could have won despite our first half woes offensively.

And not just picking on the offense, obviously the defense, they were having a bad day.

And offensively, they had us figure it out, and they executed it to perfection.

So thank you for making Locked On Ole Miss your first listen of the day, and thank you for making Locked On the number one sports podcast network.

Coming up, Oregon has a top 60 recruit in this class, and he spent September 19th sitting in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium watching Ole Miss beat LSU.

What the beat writer said afterwards that you are going to want to hear.

So college football is back, and so are the predictions.

The staff does not know.

Walden probably does not know at this point.

What I am going to tell you is what is factually true, which is a kid committed to a Big Ten program, flew across the country to Oregon, drove down to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on the best night in program history, and the best night for sure that the program has had in two years, and the people who cover him full-time came away thinking the temperature changed a little bit.

That's the facts.
