Last Saturday I took a road trip down from Memphis to Oxford with two of my buddies. Full disclosure, one is a State fan and the other an Ole Miss fan. See! MSU and Ole Miss fans can be friends!
One thing I do like about Oxford is it’s relative closeness to Memphis. For me and many other Bulldog fans he hour and a half drive is much easier than the two and half hour drive, especially if it is a day trip.
Driving into Oxford feels like a different place. The north Mississippi hills are a far cry from the coast, delta plains, or any other part of Mississippi.
