I have never had a bad parking spot at an SEC game. Just because cars are parking on the side of the road doesn't mean you should stop and park. Just cruise around campus close to the stadium and look for that creative parking spot that no one has spotted or attempted yet. I go to Ole Miss games every year and have never had a bad park. Sure I have had to take the two wheel drive acura off-road but I've never had to walk very far.
Parking was no issue. Sitting on the highway southwest of town for 90 minutes surely was. Once we finally got within walking distance of campus, there was a dilapidated mall parking lot that we parked in and hiked to the one open gate on that end of the stadium.

Probably sitting on Highway 6 after you got off 55? May have been better to go into Memphis and cut down 78 to Holly Springs and come into town on Hwy 7. The problem Oxford has is that there just are not a lot of roads leading into town. So when you add 10k+ extra cars near the same time, traffic will build up.
Most Bammers will be coming from the other direction though, so it shouldn't be as bad.

Here's the thing, professor. Most people who are going to a major sporting event in a small town investigate routes to and from the event to have a few options to choose from. Because no matter how fantastic the Po-Po is at directing traffic on gameday, one fender bender can frick up traffic for hours. So, the moral of the story is... "When traveling to a large sporting event, the day OF said event, have at least two (3 is better) separate routes planned in order to arrive at said event. Just. In. Case."
We'll be holding additional "Common sense isn't just for the common man" seminars as the need arises. Keep those eyes open and those brains warm!!!!
