What’s up, y’all? My name is Brian Scott Rippee and I am thrilled to be your sports editor this year.
I grew up in Jackson and I’ve been around Ole Miss my entire life. I remember sitting on my dad’s shoulders to get a glimpse of the Walk of Champions at two years old just as vividly as I remember when guys like Eli Manning ran out of the the inflatable blue helmet in the north end zone where the locker room used to be. I remember when the South End Zone Club didn’t exist and when the video board in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium was about a third of the size it is now.
