Verne Lundquist’s last lap around the SEC stops off in Oxford Saturday to take in the conference’s most fascinating September matchup of the last two seasons. Recruits are in town, Uncle Verne is reliving goalpost removal, and Hugh Freeze is sitting down with Finebaum. FEEL THE EXCITEMENT.

If Ole Miss can create enough chaos, or if Chad Kelly can pick apart the Tide’s defense, or if dumb luck can tilt yet again in the Rebs’ favor, Hugh Freeze’s men stand a real chance of sending Nick Saban home with sweet, salty tears in his eyes.
