Couple of Notes

A couple of notes about this weekends game.

The marketing department is doing this for students. Sterling since you are about the only student that reads this blog, you need to take advantage of this:

Coca-Cola and the spirit committee are teaming up at Sunday’s game to provide commemorative cups to the first 500 students who pass through the student gates at the stadium. During the game, students can take the cups to concessions stands for a free Coke product.


I forgot about this until I watched DotTv this afternoon. The ceremony to retire Chucky Mullins jersey will take place before the game. They will officialy retire Mullins jersery(which I disagree with) this weekend. Mullins family and Archie Manning will be in attendance as both of the jerseys will be placed somewhere in the stadium. They will be passing out 30,000 CHUCKY pins also. I remember when the original CHUCKY pins were passed out after his accident. I can remember being in the Grove and the band playing as they passed the KFC buckets to raise money for Chucky. This should be a moving ceremony and I encourage everyone to be there. The ceremony is supposed to take place between 20-30 minutes before kick off.

On a side note, I wish Ole Miss would do everything in their power to have the ESPN cameras and cameras from now on record from the North Endzone. Currently, the cameras are placed in the South Endzone and when recording all you see on tv is the view of the North Endzone. It looks terrible and looks like we are playing at Delta State. If they could set up a crane/lift in the North Endzone they could record from, it would look like a different stadium to the common viewer. The view of the SouthEndzone looks awesome when viewed from the opposite end of the stadium. This is an improvement that could drastically change the view on tv, and make it look like a great stadium. This is something that could easily be done to improve our image, yet will probably never happen.
