Ole Miss Football Season Opener (vs. Troy Trojans): September 3rd, 2022
The Ole Miss 2022 football season opens on September 3rd at 3:00 pm EST. The Rebels will be playing the Troy University Trojans at home and excitement is buzzing again for football in Oxford.
Ole Miss is led by head coach Lane Kiffin and in the 2021 season had one of its best season ever! In fact, last season was the first in Rebel history that the team won 10 regular season games. The team hopes to continue this tradition of winning in the upcoming 2022 season with potential starting quarterback Jaxon Dart. Dart was recently named among the top 20 college quarterbacks by 247Sports and was described by 247Sports as a “potential multi-year starter at elite Power Five level and projects as future NFL Draft selection.”
Oxford offers many different vacation rental options perfect for anyone looking to watch a Rebels game this fall. The cozy house is approximately 1,500 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It includes a screened in back patio and a large backyard. Pets are negotiable. It’s perfect for a game day weekend and is only 10 minutes from the South Lamar shuttle pick up location and Oxford Square. It’s in a newer, well kept and safe subdivision.

Rebel Run: September 3rd, 2022
Each year freshman Rebels run across the football field before an early season football game. The event typically sees over 1,000 students rushing across the field in red, excited to be participating in a long-held tradition. In 2020 the event was canceled due to COVID-19 but it is definitely back!
After skipping a year becuse of COVID-19, last year’s event was more exciting than usual and saw over 1,400 freshman and sophomores. Hopefully, this year’s event will be just as successful!
If you want to see your new student take part in the Rebel run then look no further than this Oxford home with a view located only 3 miles from The Square and the Ole Miss campus. This lovely home has an open floor plan and a large outdoor area overlooking a peaceful pond, and 5 spacious bedrooms!

Ole Miss Football Homecoming (vs. Kentucky Wildcats) and Homecoming Weekend: October 1st, 2022
Homecoming is an exciting time for Ole Miss Rebels. The first Ole Miss homecoming parade is believed to have occurred in 1930. That year students had a pep rally and a bonfire then dressed in pajamas and joined the marching band in a parade.
Today, homecoming still exists and entails the induction of five new members into the Ole Miss Alumni Hall of Fame, the naming of Homecoming king and queen, a parade, and the homecoming football game. This year you can expect an exciting and invigorating homecoming game seeing as last year’s was vacated due to an NCAA ruling. Catch the game on October 1st in Oxford, Mississippi.
Homecoming is a fun and exciting time. To make your homecoming weekend all the better try staying at this beautiful Oxford getaway. This home is in an upscale neighborhood and offers several bedrooms and a full concierge service if requested.
