Anybody making the trip this October? What are some dos and donts?

Why, its Oxford? Ask for a room without a view.

A few times over many years..park over by the baseball staium..don't have a visible drink in your hand while in The Grove...campus security/are all over the place and enforce the antiquated laws..stay in Memphis the night before..Ah Silky...what great days..be careful walking out the West endzone..look up for incoming bottles up high from the student section..it's okay but there are better road trips.

DON’T walk on the grass with an open alcohol beverage. Their campus PD are real assholes about opposing fans doing this for some reason.

Correct..you will notice all the card table/tents have no alcohol on display but rather hidden away..that's not LSU guy

Because some hoity-toity, jacket-wearing, wannabes put some chandeliers in a tent one time and Oxford thought it was the greatest thing in the world.
I don’t blame them. Oxford is a boring place. Why the rest of the world thinks it’s something special is beyond me.

It's downright thrilling compared to Starkville

It’s not a bad trip but not great either. Cops target away fans, especially when LSU is in town, and the grove is fun to do once but all in all is pretty overrated. Lots of wal mart chicken fingers and plastic chandeliers.
They hate LSU so much which makes beating them up there pretty fun.

Don't go!
Do watch at home or at a party.

Don't sit near Ole Miss Student Section. Those bitches suck and toss drinks entire game.

Staying at the Peabody.
I went to Taylor grocery the evening before, and it was cool. Bring tailgate chairs and beers as everyone chills out in the parking lot and drinks until their table is ready. It's low key but charming. It is in an isolated area.
Also, I already bought a parking pass because I remember that parking was atrocious, and fortunately for us our cousin was a student and they dropped us off on campus.
