OXFORD, Miss. – Almost a half century has passed since the 1963 Ole Miss football team won the Southeastern Conference Championship, one of six SEC titles the Rebels have won.

Your Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum is getting a facelift. We operate on our own dime and have for 17 years, but we do so in a state-owned building that is showing 17 years of wear and tear. Over the next year the state is helping us with a facelift, inside and out. […]
