We are very excited to be playing Boise State in 2011! We hope many of you will visit Oxford and enjoy our hospitality.
Wikitravel has a good travel page about Oxford. Here is the link: http://wikitravel.org/en/Oxford_(Mississippi)
As you may know, Ole Miss is somewhat famous for its tailgating in the Grove. I am fortunate to have been to college games at a number of campuses and I think the Grove deserves its reputation as one of the very best tailgating venues in sports. If you come to the game here, it is an absolute must for you to plan to come to the Grove at least several hours prior to kickoff.
Please note, there are some quirks about coming to football games at Ole Miss of which you may not be aware. For instance, Oxford is so small and so isolated, its limited number of motel rooms are booked years in advance. That shouldn't discourage anyone, though, because rooms are available in some nearby towns and, of course, in Memphis, a little over an hour from Oxford. Another quirk involves rules for alcohol in the Grove. I can fill you in on that later.
I will be happy to provide any of you with travel information to help you maximize your fun and minimize your inconvenience. I am not a travel agent and have no agenda. I am simply an Ole Miss fan who lives in Oxford (2 miles from campus) who enjoys football a lot. I belong to a tailgate group that has 50 members. We always invite some fans of visiting (non-SEC) schools to join us. It is just something we enjoy -- getting to share the Grove and our traditions, and perhaps making friends who will do the same for us if Ole Miss ever plays at your school.
I know it is a long way off, but if you are serious about coming to the game at Ole Miss, file away my email address and contact me before you make your travel plans. My email address is grayghost@watervalley.net.
Feel free to contact me now or anytime in the future about planning your trip. If you do email me, mention Boise State in your subject line so I don't delete your message thinking it might be spam.
I encourage you to come and I encourage you to make your plans well in advance. It will be an unusual trip because it's probably not every day you have a reason to visit Mississippi. Hopefully it will also be very special trip that provides lots of fun and good memories.
Please let me know any way I can help. Y'all come, now!
