Ole Miss faithful are going to try to unleash nearly a year's worth of aggravation over 24 hours, hoping to party into the early morning hours Sunday - or at least until local police kick them out around 1 a.m. CT - regardless of the outcome.
Scenes that look more like something out of a John Grisham thriller tucked away in a small Mississippi town, it's not hard to notice how much this means to a fan base that has been put through the ringer over these past 10 months.
'HE'S DUST': OLE MISS STUDENTS RIP LANE KIFFIN AS LSU COACH PREPARES FOR HATRED IN OXFORD
In reality, they have a team capable a competing for a national championship this season. But first, they have a lot to get off their chest when it comes to their former head coach, Lane Kiffin.
A man who captivated a fan base, led them to heights rarely achieved and had them finally in the college football playoff after fumbling the opportunity in 2025, left them for a better job.
But, it was how he left Ole Miss that will forever tarnish his legacy in Oxford. This, along with trying to take nearly every star on the Rebels football team, left fans with a worse feeling than had he just bolted for LSU without trying to burn it all down on the way out.
Looking back, Lane has admitted to those around him that he should have handled the entire situation better. Maybe this weekend doesn't contain as much vitriol.
