Ole Miss is a school that once-was; it has moments, but due to unreasonable boosters, the school cannot keep a decent coach for more than a few years. It’s no secret that a good tailgate in the South needs a little social gasoline. I cannot remember the last tailgate I attended that did not have a good adult beverage. Ole Miss is a lot like the infamous Four Loko drink. Remember a few years ago when it had caffeine and made people go wild? Me too! Then, for safety reasons, the amount of caffeine was reduced and Four Loko faded back into the shadows with the rest of the malt beverages on the shelf. Do a lot of people have good and/or blurred memories of Four Loko? Yes. Do most Ole Miss fans have good memories of The Grove and vaguely recall going to a sporting event after? Yes.
