The narrative, and it was such a special playoff run.
I can't figure out how sustainable that is when it rolls into next year.
So, was this a magical moment or the beginning of a new chapter of Ole Miss dominance?

Our head coach ran out on us.

For Ole Miss.

I think he will be closer than Ole Miss is.
But if he is, you know, there's going to be a huge contingent of Ole Miss fans buying Tickets to that just to boo him from the stands.
