  • University of Mississippi Weight Room: Ole Miss Rebels Strength

    Here’s a few cellphone pix that we shot while in Oxford, while vistining The University of Mississippi. Anyway, if you end up down at Ole Miss, you’ve got to go to Ajax Diner. The meals there are unreal and I think you could literally spend a few days there working your way through the menu. Unbelievable! Here’s my suggestion, the Hot Tamale Pie. The flavors will knock you off your feet and you’ll most likely email me to thank me for the tip! Oh yeah…. I had the turnip greens and sweet potato caserole as my sides. It’s so good that I’m planning another trip down there!

    Enough of that, here’s a few of the photos…..
