Summary
Times are good for the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation.
For starters, Ole Miss football, following a third wildly successful season under head coach Lane Kiffin, is headed to the Texas Bowl in Houston to take on Texas Tech December 28.
But even more, country music sensation Morgan Wallen in April is bringing his ‘One Night At A Time’ world tour to Oxford for what will be the first-ever concert inside Vaught Hemingway Stadium. Not to be forgotten, year-end giving is here after a banner year for Ole Miss athletics, punctuated by the first national title in program history for Rebel baseball.
At the center of it all has been, and continues to be, OMAF.
Denson Hollis, the foundation’s CEO and senior associate athletics director for development, joins Ben Garrett (Ole Miss Spirit/on3) in this edition of Talk of Champions to detail the year that was, as well as provide a preview of what’s to come in 2023.
