I was too young to remember my first game (both parents and pretty much my entire mom’s side are Rebels, along with a few on my dad’s side after he broke the ice), but my first game as a newly transferred-in undergrad was Jacksonville State. The four games I’d attended in college before I transferred were the ‘08 and ‘09 Magnolia and Cotton Bowls. Houston Nutt tricked me into thinking one of the benefits of transferring to Ole Miss from my small DIII school in the middle of nowhere would be getting to see decent football again. frick Houston Nutt

First: 1995 Indiana State
Most Memorable: 03 LSU
I have so many memories that suck in VHS having been there during the Orgeron years. I vividly remember Northwestern State being a severe low point as there was maybe 20k people there. However, '14 Bama was the pinnacle. So many ups and downs.

09 LSU game most memorable. Ive actually never attended an LSU game we have lost. I've been to four.

Northwestern State in 07 was horrible as was 2010 against JSU. But nothing tops 05 losing to Wyoming at home

^^^So your most memorable OM moments are all losses? Man, you need to try and find the bright side a little more. There has been and is one, you know.

First was the '97 Egg Bowl when Tuberville dragged his massive nuts over Sherrils face.
Most memorable game was 03 LSU even though we lost. 09 Texas Tech was my favorite game I've ever attended followed closely by 02 Florida

2010 against JSU.
The girl I was dating at the time actually willed JSU into scoring again in OT. She was like, “I kinda wish they’d score. I don’t want it to end.”
Well it ended. And so did our relationship soon after.

That’s not true at all. I’d venture a guess that almost all the posters of your generation(#metoo Henry) don’t accept mediocrity. Accepting reality doesn’t mean you embraced mediocrity; we are just mediocre most years we’ve been alive.

On topic: first game that I remember vividly was the liberty bowl 92 and how cold it was plus the annoying Air Force lady behind us screaming the WHOLE TIME. I hated the Air Force for most of my childhood as a result.
Most memorable in person I’ll go with just a few: The first was beating LSU in tiger stadium in 97 when they were ranked 7 or 8. They had just beaten Weurful and the number 1 gators the week before but proceeded to lose to us by two tds. The second was auburn 03 in auburn. Obamanu dropped that pass in the end zone and 18 year old me almost had a panic attack he was so open. Travis Johnson(back to him in a minute) god bless him just got lost. Beating Tuberville like that made me like him again.
The last one is a loss and it happened the very next week funnily enough. The atmosphere leading up to the game and during the game itself was crazy even more so than Alabama 14. It being our natural rival (ranked third coached by saban)and us being so hot at the time made the square on Friday night buck as hell(lit af to you youngins). Travis’ interception of Mauk is the loudest I ever heard VHS. Then our Lou Groza award winner missed two FGs, cutcliffe’d, and our all sec guard got blown up by some creole monstrosity to trip Eli.

1970 against Houston. I was 5 years old. Archie got hurt real bad. I didn't really understand what had happened, but everybody in the stadium was quiet and this woman was crying into a handkerchief, so all I knew was that something terrible had happened.

I wasn't able to go to a game until 2012, my family was from Mississippi but because of my dad's job we never moved there permanently until 2012.
My first game at VHS was the 2012 egg bowl, I remember it being way too cold but knowing that win was something special, bowl eligibility all that.

The first Ole Miss game I watched on television. Ole Miss upset Notre Dame in 1977.
The first game in Vaught-Hemingway was 1980. The Rebels fell to Tulane 26-24, despite John Fourcade's attempts to rally the Rebels in the last quarter.
The 2003 LSU game is the most memorable as far as atmosphere and importance. The crowd was unbelievable and the intensity of emotions were exhausting. To be that close to going to Atlanta for the SEC championship made it the biggest game for Ole Miss football since the Archie Manning years.
Even though the Rebels lost to LSU they were able to pull off the upset of OSU in the Cotton Bowl which was another memorable game in Dallas.

Absolutely. I see a lot of people say ‘14 Alabama game was the loudest but that is completely false. After that pick 6 was so loud it hurt your ears, way more so than anything from that Alabama game.
Been going to games my whole life (born in ‘90). I remember still having a rebel flag in the stadium when I was a kid but don’t remember specific games.
First game I remember vividly was 1998 LSU. Somehow me and my dad got hooked up with seats in the rebel club. I remember him throwing me up in the air as we won the game in OT.
1999 was the first season I really remember. I remember how pissed off my dad, grandad, and uncle were as we walked back to our car in Orange Mound after beating Memphis 3-0. First full game I vividly remember as Swayze said was Deuce taking the opening kickoff to the house against Arkansas in 1999
2000 music city bowl. Even though we got our asses kicked by West Virginia a freshman QB named Eli Manning was put in in the 3rd quarter over Romero Miller and put on a ridiculous performance, bringing us back within 10 by the end of the game IIRC. Was a great first glimpse into the next 3 years.
2001 Arkansas and the never ending game. Really derailed an awesome season we were having up to that point (we were 6-1, finished 7-4. Were snubbed and not selected for a bowl game, while 6-6 Alabama (who we beat that year) got to go bowling).
2002 Florida I stormed the field as we tore down the goalposts. Took a little piece of the turf from the field home with me.
2003 Auburn the the sheer agony to jubilance in a split second as Obumanu dropped the ball.
2003 LSU. That week leading up I was so excited I couldn’t sleep. Most electric environment I’ve ever experienced. The loss absolutely crushed me. I consider that night the end of my childhood.
Lots of bad years and bad quarterbacks thereafter. 2004-2007 was the most lackluster I’ve ever been about OM football. Was more concerned with girls and high school sports.
Then 2008 rolls around and I rediscovered my drug of choice.
2008 Florida. I remember being so shocked at the end I didn’t even initially celebrate. Just sat there with my mouth gaping.
2008 LSU in Baton Rouge. Me and a buddy drove down there by ourselves as 18 year olds and thought we were so cool. Beat the shite out of them and had an amazing time.
45-0. Throwing cotton balls in the air. The most complete arse kicking I’ve ever witnessed.
The last cotton bowl in the old stadium. Completely packed house. Texas Tech fans were so fricking smug the days leading up and day of. Treated us like we were a sunbelt team. Game started off rocky, down 14-0, but then turned into a thorough arse kicking put on by the rebels. The trashy arse Tech fans were so fricking butthurt. It was great.
2009 Tennessee. Probably the most fun I’ve ever had at a football game. Dex put on the most impressive performance I’ve ever seen.
2010 Jacksonville State. Melted hard. Drunkenly told my mom it was the worst thing to happen to Ole Miss since the James Meredith riots.
2011 is a blur
2012. Feed Moncrief. That scrappy little team is one of my all time favorites.
2013 LSU. The first big win in what seemed like forever. Gave my then girlfriend (now wife) a massive kiss and threw her up in the air after the kick was good.
2014 Alabama. Nuff said
2014 Auburn. Most heartbroken I’ve ever been outside of 03 LSU
By the time 2015 rolls around the success we’ve been having has gotten to my head and I’m not enjoying games in a healthy manner like I used to. But 2015 Alabama was obviously sweet, as was the beat down in Starkville.
2016 Sugar Bowl. Ever since I was a little kid and studied the great Ole Miss lore of old my dream was to one day make it back to the sugar bowl. It was sadly bitter sweet as I thought about 4th and 25 and what could have been. But it was still an amazing feeling.
Since then through all of the bullshite I have become pretty apathetic. It makes me sad and feel like I’ve lost a big part of myself, but I’ve had a lot of other issues to deal with the past few years.
One day I will be sucked back in again to truly believe, only to be heartbroken yet again.
Hotty Toddy
