Ole Miss Weekend

It’s been a long time coming but I finally checked Oxford off of the bucket list. I flew into Memphis midafternoon on Friday along with every other Gamecock it seemed  and we made the short drive over to Oxford. We stayed at a cute little Airbnb. It was nothing fancy but served its purpose as we were only there literally to sleep. We then made our way down to the square. It was packed. The square was adorable and had that southern charm. We ended up eating dinner at Bacchus Prime which was delicious. We had heard great things about Boure’ but it ended up being slammed and of course they stopped taking reservations right before our group.

 

 

 

 

Saturday we were up bright and early an  11:00 central game time is brutal folks even for an early riser like me. It was short walk from our Airbnb to the Grove. We got there just in time for the Walk of Champions which is a must do for any college football fan. I feel like most universities have tried to imitate but there’s nothing like watching the team walk through the Grove. Y’all the tailgating experience and hospitality was top notch! We saw this girl wearing a sticker that said we never lost a tailgate and that is 100% accurate. We made a couple stops at tailgate and headed into the game.

The actually game itself was bleh but we ended up pulling out a win. We went back to the Grove before making the walk back to our Airbnb. The campus itself is absolutely spectacular, I may actually encourage Campbell to visit there when the time comes. We headed back to the square around 6:00. We tried our luck again at Boure’ but were turned away again. I’m not convinced it wasn’t because we were wearing our game day attire. The folks in front of us were told 30 minutes but we were told no availability. We took our business to McEwen’s and had a great experience. Our food was delicious and the service was top notch. We were back to our place by 8:00 and asleep by 9:00.

 

Sunday we were up and ready to hit the road by 8. We made a stop at Cups a local coffee bar that was the cutest before heading out of town.

Oxford you are the prettiest and I look forward to seeing you soon!
