Rebels React: College GameDay coming to Oxford
Christian May, Sophomore, business finance
“It shows how much of an improvement The University of Mississippi has made. Just a few seasons ago we won two games, and now we’re being considered for College GameDay. Ten years ago this university probably would have never been considered for it. It just shows what Coach Freeze has done for this school.”
Lilah Henderson, Freshman, bio-chemistry
“It’s going to be crazy, and it’s going to be super crowded. I mean, I’ve grown up an Ole Miss fan, so I’ve been to the Grove a ton, but as a student it’s like super awesome.”
Will Pipes, Junior, corporate relations and marketing
“Once I learned that College GameDay hadn’t been to the Grove, I was absolutely astounded. I mean, it’s one of the 100 things you have to do before you die on several lists anywhere. To think that the biggest football network hasn’t been to the Grove, hasn’t experienced the camaraderie, and the all-out school spirit that’s here absolutely blows me away. I’m really excited to have them down here so they can see it first hand, and so the rest of the nation can get a little glimpse of what we’re all about here in Oxford.”
Dru’kia Joseph, Senior criminal justice
“It’s going to be great, we’ve got people’s family coming in, sisters coming in. It’s going to be so exciting, and it’s our senior year. Not a lot of people get to experience College GameDay, and we will.”
