Hey there football fans and tailgating aficionados! Bignosebill here to give you a look into what has been called the greatest tailgate in the United States; The Grove. Located on the beautiful campus of the University of Mississippi in Oxford, MS, this picturesque ten acre park transform every home game weekend into a bustling tent city of 100,000. This is a quick guide will tell you how you can fully absorb this one of a kind tailgating experience from set up to break down and everything in between.

Set Up:

Perhaps the most welcome site to students after a long week is Trash Can Friday. Trash Can Friday is the signal that the week is almost over and football will soon be here. Early Friday morning, Ole Miss Landscaping puts out the iconic red and blue trash cans that cover the Grove to collect the garbage from impending party. These cans are also the sign that spot holding is open. You might be thinking “But why can’t I just put up my tent on Friday morning and be done with it?” Because the University does not allow tailgating equipment on campus until 8 p.m. Friday night, that’s why. This is so everyone will have an equal opportunity to grab their spot. There are fraternities, sororities, student groups, sports teams, academic departments, families, businesses, and rival fans who will all want what they consider “their” spot and will be out in the Grove from 6:30 a.m. til 8:00 p.m. making sure no one else claims their land. So if you want prime real estate, I’d suggest arriving at the Grove with them early in the morning. As soon as Landscaping gives the all clear (which will occur between 6:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. depending on how quick they are moving) you can sprint out to the piece of the Grove you want and stake your claim. Bring a blanket, a pillow, and maybe a football or lawn game (I highly suggest washers) because you are there for the long haul. Having friends trade off with you is encouraged because if you space is left unattended, it can be claimed by another envious tailgater. A good strategy if you are by yourself or with a group is to make friends with your neighbors. Not only will this expand your tailgating options on Saturday but they will also help you defend your claim. However, it is expected you help defend their claim as well. Just enjoy the day as you relax with old friends and new in a beautiful park because calamity is not far over the horizon.

At around 7:30 p.m. you will start to notice people starting to leave their

How does that work? From an outsider who has never been, it appears as though you have to show up the night before, claim a spot, drop off all your gear, and then park elsewhere? That sounds like a logistical nightmare. Is it more organized than that?

And then what happens when the game is over? How does the take down process work?

Signed,

Curious Pac 12 fan

I posted this in r/OleMiss but I figured I'd copy and paste. Here goes:

Hey there! I know this is a stretch, but I'm hoping to luck up on some good southern hospitality. My 5 friends and I are traveling from Tennessee this weekend to see the game at Ole miss. We are slated to arrive later Friday night (due to some of the guys working) and check into our hotel. Anyways, we won't be there in time to claim a spot and set up at the Grove.

We were curious if any members of this subreddit would be willing to take us in at your tent? I know that things need to be setup on Friday night, but we are willing to come early on Saturday and help with whatever we can. All we want is a bit of tent space for our cooler and drinks. And of course we would bring plenty to share.

If anyone is willing, feel free to post or PM me. We can exchange phone numbers and stay in contact.

Hope to hear from someone and here's to a great game on Saturday!

I’d expect him to be admitted at all three schools he’s considering by now, but with crystal balls for both Dart and Trigg to Ole Miss, I wanted to stir the pot.

Joe C: >"We are fortunate to have an offensive coordinator like Jeff Lebby coming home to Oklahoma to join us on this journey. Like with all potential coaching staff, we vetted him from every angle, on and off the field. We understand why additional questions have been raised around his candidacy, which is why we did our due diligence, completed a thorough review and background check, and spoke to his previous employers throughout the process. The reports we received from Baylor, UCF and Ole Miss were consistent - they spoke highly of him as a person, his relationships within the programs as well as how he develops his players, his recruiting ability and, of course, his football acumen. At every turn throughout our review, we received assurance of the content of his character, his commitment to compliance and safety, and his desire to contribute to the development of winning programs in the manner we expect of all our staff. In speaking with Jeff, it is abundantly clear that he also knows and will embrace OU's expectations of him both on and off the field. We're glad to welcome him aboard."

Lebby:
>"I'm honored by the opportunity I've been given to represent one of the most important programs in college athletics. My experiences at Baylor will inform my perspective for the rest of my life, on and off the field. It will be a privilege to work with Coach Venables and Joe Castiglione. These are two men I believe in and have the greatest respect for - I have the utmost confidence in their administrative leadership. OU's athletics programs have always demanded the best and I will work everyday to earn the trust they have placed in me to represent this institution."

Hey all. I've posted this in r/OleMiss and r/ockytop and really haven't had any luck thus far. I figured I would go ahead and paste here too.

I know this is a stretch, but I'm hoping to luck up on some good southern hospitality. My 5 friends and I are traveling from Tennessee this weekend to see the game at Ole Miss. We are slated to arrive later Friday night (due to some of the guys working) and check into our hotel. Anyways, we won't be there in time to claim a spot and set up at the Grove.

We were curious if anyone from this subreddit going to the game and the Grove would be willing to take us in at your tent? I know that things need to be setup on Friday night, but we are willing to come early on Saturday and help with whatever we can. All we want is a bit of tent space for our cooler and drinks. And of course we would bring plenty to share.
