Summary

On this Oxford Exxon Podcast extra, Chase Parham talks with For The Win managing editor and Ole Miss fan Alex McDaniel. Alex, who was in the Pride of the South as a student, made a bet to raise money to help the Ole Miss Band with a new practice field. So $25,000 later with the help of some MSU fans, Alex had to pay off her bet. She attended the Egg Bowl as a State fan. Chase and Alex detail the events leading up to the Egg Bowl, the day in Starkville and how a late-night car mishap brought out some deeper thoughts.
