In the mostly emotionally damaging history of the Ole Miss/Arkansas football series, the Rebels and Razorbacks have stepped into the rectangular circle 63 times, starting in 1908 when head coach Frank Kyle, like so many Ole Miss coaches after him, went to Fayetteville and got BLASTED, 33-0. Of those 63 broken-bottle-and-pool-cue fights, only 13 of them have taken place in the month of September.
The 14th September showdown is schedule for Saturday, which will mark the first time since 1928 that Ole Miss has played Arkansas in Oxford in the month of September. It’s true!
If you recall, Ole Miss was once in the wonderful habit of playing home games of significance in Jackson or willing to be paid to play home games in Memphis.
