The Rebel Road Trip will make its 10th stop on its 12-city journey tonight in Oxford on the field of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium from 5-6 p.m.
Ole Miss head football coach Hugh Freeze and athletics director Ross Bjork will headline the lineup of speakers. Head basketball coach Andy Kennedy and newly named head women’s basketball coach Matt Insell will also take the stage.
“It’s been great. The response has been terrific,” Bjork said in an interview with The Daily Mississippian’s Austin Miller. “It’s just a great way to get out, meet people and shake hands with Rebel Nation.”
Fans will get an opportunity to meet and greet with Bjork, Freeze and other university officials.
“The most common feedback we have gotten is how excited people are,” Bjork said. “They feel good about what is happening. Everyone is united to build a program. The most common question deals with facilities as far as the basketball arena, the indoor practice facility and parking garage. Those questions are coming up from people.”
The event is free for fans, who can enter through stadium gates 7-10 on the west side and 14-16 on the east side. The gathering will also include information booths, merchandise and a video look at the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation and the Alumni Association.
