To be honest, it had started to feel a little disingenuous to write for the blog during football season.
I just couldn’t pretend I was following this team enough to know its intricacies. I hadn’t watched many games last year and only watched occasionally this season.
Before we get to that, let me take a step back.
My interest in sports, and especially Ole Miss sports didn’t really start in earnest until I got to school in 2002. I specifically remember the moment when I realized I had truly become a fan: I listened to Eli Manning lead the Rebels to a victory over Nebraska in the Liberty Bowl while I was driving down Highway 7.
