A once in a football lifetime opportunity...

Week 1: Ole Miss host UT-Martin at 11am. State plays in Hattiesburg at 9pm.
You could literally see all 3 Mississippi schools play live in the same day.

That's interesting! I'll bet that hasn't happened since USM used to regularly play us and OM.

Yep. September 29, 1979 & I was there. MSU beat Florida 24-10 in the afternoon and USM beat Ole Miss 38-8 at night.

Interesting, but nah.....

USM has pretty much lost the attraction of being the third big time program in the state and traveling that much in one day to see a couple of games that both should be over by halftime is not worth the trouble.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm now seriously considering doing this.

In 2009 I watched OM/Tenn in Oxford then drove to Starkville for MSU/Bama. But USM wasn't part of that.

I'm not sure why I even went to watch Ole Miss, but it was worth it--McCluster had a career game, and I sat 5 seats from Lane Kiffin's wife.

Be sure and document your day if you do it. I think a twitter timeline of the day's events would be pretty cool.

It'll happen again soon, when the Egg Bowl is scheduled on a Tuesday...
