My favorite UGA/Ole Miss game memory is the 1993 matchup in Oxford. I was in the band at Ole Miss, and after the game, the band members would split up and go to the Grove and play for money. Lewis Grizzard, who used to be a humor writer for the Atlanta Journal Constitution (I'm dating myself) was in the Grove and extraordinarily overserved. He gave us $100 bill to conduct the band while we played Dixie. Good times.
Hated that Lewis Grizzard died so untimely. Some of his ashes were scattered between the hedges, I think.
That's awesome. Grizzard was hilarious. His joke about the frog and golfer still makes me laugh. How many band members did y'all play with? What all instruments did you have? Was it the regular "Dixie" or "From Dixie With Love?"

We probably had 50 or 60. The band allowed us at the time to use university instruments (it was used as a fundraiser), so we had pretty much everything represented. It was regular Dixie.
