re: Watch out for the OPD in Oxford

Several years ago, my husband and I went to the OM game where we beat them soundly. I was invited by my Ole Miss cousin to her cousin's tailgate after the game. Her cousin was a former Reb and played in the NFL. As we walked into his tent, a drunk OM student and his drunk OM date begin cursing me (I'm old enough to be his Mother), and telling me to get my arse out of the tent and why was I there; I wasn't welcome, etc. I'd never been treated that rudely. I told him that I was related to the host and I'd just go get him to explain that I was invited. He shut up quick and stumbled away quietly. The Grove is so overrated, it's ridiculous. We were told to squat behind a food table to pour ourselves a drink or the cops would stop us. Your ice chests better be locked before you leave for the game or the cops pour everything out. Everybody's tents are on top of each other. Horrible.
