I can't believe I'm even writing this considering the most embarrassing loss on Saturday but I've been trying to explain to the Big City friends how magical Oxford/Ole Miss/the South really is. I think they believe me. Our biggest hang-up has been "Hotty Toddy". How do you even explain it? I think you really have to be there...screaming until your throat is sore to really get the chills that accompany the cheer.
I found this video where you can hear a Hotty Toddy. Wait until a few seconds before the six minute mark. But feel free to enjoy the band until then. One of the tents in the background is mine.
I realized Saturday I missed chanting Hotty Toddy and the pep rally almost as much as my friends. It really is an indescribable experience. I'm glad I got to live it.
We've got spirit, yes we do.

Beth! I feel the same way! I miss Oxford so much and it often comes up in my conversations amongst my friends here in the BIG City haha! Despite our not so great football team I am trying to talk Oxford/Ole Miss and the South up really well! I'm going to the UT game this weekend, and it won't be the same, but I'm glad to get to cheer on a "good" team! Ha! Hope you are having a great week!
