My interest in Ole Miss football under the direction of Matt Luke sang its death song on September 29, 2018. On that Saturday night in Baton Rouge, Ole Miss lost to LSU, 45-16, in a manner that can be accurately described as “area man burns down house after setting off $400 worth of fireworks in his living room.”
I’ve stupidly watched a lot of unwatchable Ole Miss football over the years, and those four-ish hours were among the worst I’ve witnessed. At the end of that exercise in flushing time down the toilet, I said it was pointless to invest in Ole Miss football until Luke and his staff were loving Ole Miss while not employed by Ole Miss.
