I wrote a column on Oct. 16, 2015 about how being in the Ole Miss fandom was like dating a crazy person. It only took one day to prove that notion, as the crazy person showed up with a metaphorical butcher knife in Memphis the next day.
But there are a few realities that we need to accept. Memphis is a very good football team. They will likely go undefeated. They will probably play in an Access Bowl. Paxton Lynch will be an NFL quarterback one day. Memphis was better than Ole Miss that day.
That doesn’t negate the fact that Ole Miss was better than Memphis.
