Oxford is awesome. I did a few years there for my graduate degree (obviously wore LSU gear to the grove every game day -- these colors don't run), and I'd highly recommend you go if you can.

Try to get a balcony spot on Friday if you can. I'd recommend Boure if you can. It's got the most space. City Grocery is my personal favorite, but the quarters are tight. Shoot to go there for drinks at night instead if you can, although the line might be long.

For food, any of the below are great options:
- Ajax (awesome southern comfort food -- I prefer the chicken fried steak or meatloaf, but you can't go wrong with anything, and the John Daly's are killer)
- City Grocery (elevated Southern food, and you'd need a reservation).
- Lenora's (good Italian food, especially the Chicken Parm)
- South Depot (fast casual taco spot on the square; you won't need a reservation)
- Saint Leo (a good pizza and pasta place with good cocktails)
- Blind Pig (really good sandwiches and bar food)
- Proud Larry's (good bar food and live music)
- Taylor Grocery is a way's out of town, but it's got fantastic catfish and you can brown bag, which is always fun. The wait might be long, but people tailgate and bring their own beers. It's fun if you don't mind killing time.

Bars
- City Grocery's upstairs bar is small but top notch. The head bartender Coonie is a big LSU fan.
- The Library is an iconic massive bar, but try to get a wristband early if you can. The cover can get up to $100 or more on weekends.
- I've heard the Velvet Ditch is fun, but I haven't been there
- Rafter's has a good set up, as it's pretty big with nice TVs
- Roundtable has a good outdoor area
- Funky's is a great spot. It's got decent pizza, but you'll really want to go for the daquiris -- have a Taylor Swift.
- The Yard at Harrison's is another good option. Lots of outdoor space.

As you can tell, I'm really fond of Oxford, even if I can't stand the Rebs. Make the trip if you can, although maybe ditch your friend. If she can't have fun there, she's the problem.

The fact that he uses a pun based on a word that has no relation to Louisiana culture or heritage etc., shows how stupid that guy is. “morning scone” lol what a cuck

Broke and dumb. Bad combo

You know the saying is I could NOT care less.

The phrase was originally "I could care less, but I don't", which is generally what it's interpreted to mean today when used that way. Knowledge is power!

This is not ideal.

For one game, probably secondary market via seatgeek, vividsteats, etc. The ticket exchange here has worked for me in the past, too.

But if you get punished by the CFP for losing it even if it’s close, there’s no advantage to playing it

This is actually backwards. Look at Miami-ND. ND is not getting punished for losing to Miami opening weekend, but Miami is also not getting much credit for it (even in head to head comparison). So while there is little benefit, it's actually not because of the risk of losing.

We were ready to wait. It's Ole Miss who said tell us you'll be here or gtfo, and yet somehow we're the villain.
