GLENDALE, Ariz. – A couple of local Fiesta Bowl volunteers walked out of State Farm Arena when I did after the game here Thursday night. Ole Miss had lost to Miami 31-27, and a lot of Rebel fans were still drifting out as well.
“We’ve never seen fans like Ole Miss fans that just wanted to stay so long after the game and applaud their team,” they pretty much collectively said, “and we’ve been doing this for years. We’re impressed with Ole Miss fans.”
“That’s because the fans love this team so much,” I told them.
