Just when Ole Miss fans were coming out of the Lane Kiffin drama haze, they began to see the changes around in the Grove.

Both Eli and Archie Manning were present at the Vaught-Hemingway on Dec. 20 to support the Rebels in their first-ever College Football Playoff appearance.
The clash of personalities between Kiffin and the Mannings, plus Arch Manning not choosing Ole Miss, kept the Ole Miss legendary family at bay for years.
