Remembering the absurdity of the 2008 Ole Miss-Florida game

Ole Miss won the last time these two teams played, but the game gave us so much more than just a win.

As a person who still thinks 2004 was about four years ago, it's quite jarring when I do the math and slowly comprehend that Ole Miss beat Florida in Gainesville seven years ago. SEVEN YEARS AGO. That's a number one spot higher than Ole Miss' back-to-back six-point wins over Alabama.

I assume that for many of you, like me, life was much different in 2008. I was living in a different city, was seven years dumber than I am now, and mistakenly believed that Houston Nutt knew what he was doing (seven years dumber is lots of dumb).
