Oxford is a small town, it's reasonable to infer that these people are affiliated with Ole Miss in some way. Whether they be students, faculty, administrators or the grounds crew.
Just like the Auburn guy that was trying save Colonel Reb?

I am an Ole Miss grad but didn't grow up in MS. and have lived in many parts of the country. First let me say that I get that this is a message board, and some of you will say whatever you wish about Ole Miss because you obviously hate them and celebrate any thing negative that happens in Oxford.
BUT, as some one who did once live and work in MS., maybe some of you State folks should worry less about attacking a rival in football and worry more about doing productive things to help "Your State." Your state has areas that are worse than some third world countries. Your State is near the bottom in education and near the top in poverty and income inequality. Your state still has de-facto segregation due to the private schools that dominate rural areas. (Which I'm sure NO State Grad attended.) The idiots that pull this kind of racist crap are a product of YOUR STATE. Not one school, not one fanbase, but a state which overall has shown little desire to change the status quo that I can see. MAYBE its time to worry less about race baiting and digging up dirt on your rivals football team, and spend more time encouraging alumni of BOTH schools to work to fix the problems which make Your State the poster child for inequality and poverty in America.
