Dear Editor,

Like most college towns, Oxford has more than its fair share of drunk drivers. I applaud the city’s recent efforts to crack down.

We are in our third week of school, and so much is going on right now.

“We might not win em all, but we’ve never lost a party.”

Following the loss to Jacksonville State I was presented with that statement as a friend helped himself to another drink. To be honest I wanted a drink or two myself, primarily to forget the sting of a loss to a non-Division I team. But that exclamation really stuck with me because it echoed an attitude that has been present in the Ole Miss fanbase since possibly the end of the John Vaught era. 

Contrary to any and all rumors you may have heard (or hopes and dreams you may have had), I did not graduate in May, nor was I thrown into a rampaging river or stabbed in my sleep over the summer.
