Week, and Bjork touched on Ole Miss’ reputation of respect. “We need to be loud, but re- spectful,” Bjork said. “We respect our opponents. We have a creed.” Senior Class President Saxon Nelson did not make a speech, but did show up to enjoy to the rally. This was his first time see- ing the upgraded Vaught, and he said he was impressed. “I didn’t come to the pep rally last year, but I had to come out here to see this awesome stuff,” Nelson said. Later in the rally, cheerleader and self-proclaimed “new 2016 hype man for Ole Miss” Lee Wil- liams bounced around the end zone and taught the crowd three original cheers. Richard and Tammy Jenkins are big fans of Williams. Fif- ty-eight and 57 years old respec- tively, the couple drove down from Chattanooga, Tennessee for a family reunion and to visit Richard’s alma mater. He gradu- ated in 1981 and says the Vaught’s differences are huge. “We’re no longer also-rans here,” Jenkins said. “This place shows we’re a big powerhouse now. It’s beautiful out here.”

If you’re a new student at the university, you may have dis- covered that only a short walk separates you from indulging in fried delicacies and pizza slices galore on campus. Despite the daunting pressure of balancing school, work and play, there are plenty of oppor- tunities on campus and within the Oxford area to combat the frightening “freshman 15.” Located right here on campus is the Turner Center, Ole Miss’ recreation facility. With a newly installed rubber floor, the third floor fitness cen- ter has an improved cleanliness, sound and aesthetic. The Turn- er Center also includes basket- ball courts, an indoor track, an Olympic-sized swimming pool and several rooms for group fit- ness classes.

For some, this could spell trouble. For others, such as Alabama and Ole Miss, it’s a great chance to show off the strength of the conference and an opportunity to boost their chances for a seat in the College Football Playoffs.
