From the Clark Ford studio in Oxford, Mississippi, MBW Digital proudly presents the Oxford Exxon podcast.

I'd say thanks for tuning in, but why am I going to give you a round of applause for something that you're supposed to do, to be frank?

And now, here are your hosts, Chase Palm.

And broadcast school is really paid off.

And Neil McCrady.

I deserve to be on team.

Welcome in to this edition of a Blue Sky Live Extra, Denson Hallis, CEO, Ole Miss Athletics Foundation,

joining us here on this Friday just after lunch.

Denson, you know, you got a lot of friends these days.

You helped out thousands of people with tickets last week,

Ole Miss capping off on 11-1 regular season,

and yet I see you today at lunch,

and you just over there eating by yourself.

Couldn't find anybody to hang out with you on the square today, bud?

I was surprised how uncrowded Tallahatchie Gourmet was. That place is always packed. I love to go eat lunch there. I didn't even know you are there until the end. I'm sad. I missed the big think tank. It is. It's a good, nice calm Friday before the big one comes in a couple weeks. Yeah, I know you got to be pretty excited. Were you, I know you were confident, but did you kind of excel a little bit? Was there some excitement when you saw that six by the name on Tuesday night? I did. I was really excited. I wasn't ever really that worried about it, but I dropped my oldest off at the Christmas parade and I was sitting in the parking lot watching the show on my phone, and I'd be a lot of if I said I didn't let out a couple screams when that popped up.

I'm just so happy for our fans and for our players, because it's been such an incredible year, and they deserve all the credit, and hopefully, you know, fingers crossed, everything works out.

And we get to have a home game here in a couple weeks, which, in my opinion,

will be the biggest weekend in the history of Mississippi, not just Ole Miss, but the whole

state.

So it's going to be exciting.

So I want to get into all the momentum that you guys have going on right now in a minute.

But first, let's back up because you gave even our message board, our community, a pretty good perk leading into the egg bowl, gave away a lot of tickets to a lot of our, our members, our subscribers, our listeners, how do you want to call it, mostly tried to use the Rebel 24-7 message board for what ended up being, I mean, a lot. I don't know what the number is. A lot of tickets just from our end. But you guys took care of it. A lot of donors took care of it. Raised a lot of money. I've talked to several of them to fund those tickets, to give them away to fans, for them to be in Starville, not just for the fans' experience, but the players as well,
