You need access to the OM board, IMO


If I had access to the Ole Miss board would y'all tell me how this new tradition of "Locking the Vaught" came to be?

Did the players start it or the students?

It came from the players. They come out of the tunnel locking arms and swaying. They started that in 2008. The university has been trying to get the fans to do it since 2011.

Dude, that was fricking badass.

And holy shite Freeze is the man, "you have to play with anger, A JEALOUS RAGE". If that doesn't get you pumped up, you don't have a pulse.

Some of the best pre game speeches I've seen at Ole Miss. Can't remember the last coach that we had that did this.

And i will say TRY. The fans dont seems to respond real well to it.

I think it would look badass if we could actually get the entire stadium to do it. Hopefully so.

I mean, I get what they are trying to do, but I'm one of those that probably wouldn't do it. Not because I don't care about school spirit. But I don't know how I feel about locking arms with a total stranger next to me. That's just me though.

It always looks good on TV, but they are obviously zoomed in to only a small segment of the crowd. But nonetheless, it still looks legit when watching from home.

Why don't you sit with your friends?

Haha and if the stranger was some girl then I'd definitely be down

The only reason I don't like it is because it looks like we stole it from A&M

Florida fans lock arms and sway back and forth at the start of the 4th quarter when they sing "We are the boys from Old Florida" to remind them about when they were an all male school.

All male school like... A&M used to be.

shite makes sense now...

The old days of sitting in the student section with friends are over. Now if I go, it is usually with just one old college buddy. That means there is a stranger on the other arm.
