Each week after a home game I like to post a photo essay on the activities in the Grove and around Vaught-Hemingway that describe the Rebel experience as accurately as any photo of a football play.
Hope you enjoy these images of Rebel Nation celebrating the camaraderie, spirit and pure joy that goes with a perfect weekend at Ole Miss and Oxford, Miss.
This is the look of perfect happiness. A young person on her Dad’s shoulders as fans celebrate on the field after the victory. All photos by Andy Knef.
These two boys were in a hurry to get to their seats to see the next play.
This Alabama cheerleader had a good time despite the tough loss.
Filing out after the great victory, the fans couldn’t resist a few jabs at the Tide.
These youngsters at the Winchester tent near the circle somehow knew the elephant would eventually be crying.
No one can argue with this message.
Our staffer Sam Mitchell was on the field post-game and very happy.
Young man, I believe the police have this selfie as well.
OK, call it nepotism. That’s my son and daughter-in-law on the far left.
Lots of people on the field — no one in the stands.
If somebody gets hurt — well you know the rest.
this is the LandShark guy. He was on the field, too.
Leaving the stadium with his new smart phone. Anybody know this guy?
Hey Band dudes are popular with the ladies as well.
Can’t blame a guy for trying.
Is that a rainbow or a goal post? Maybe both.
Not everyone is watching the game I guess.
This is called having a good time.
A day none of us will ever forget!
Not even this guy.
Beautiful day — beautiful campus.
Sure Ole Miss has beautiful women — but what about some love for the boys?
The long line exits the field with their trophy in hand.
The kind of absolute bliss you want to share with someone.
