We’ve been here before, if only in adjacent space. Jason Isbell is a southern musician — though not a Mississippian, though an Ole Miss favorite — and this particular sports blog originates in the South, and Isbell’s sound just sort of attends everything we read, write, and talk about. Our editorial newsroom is purely comprised of Isbell lyrics — nothing related to Ole Miss sports content. Whatsoever. It’s true.
Isbell hates the South.
Isbell loves the South.
Isbell writes best about the South because he hates and loves it. He definitely hates it, though.
