Excellent ! I grew up in Memphis, Tn., about 70 miles from Ole Miss, so I went to a lot of Rebel games as a youngster in the 1950s. They also played from time to time at Crump Stadium in Memphis.
"The Last Season" really brought back memories of my dad and I going to Oxford and seeing games at Hemingway Stadium (now, Vaught-Hemingway). It only held 35,000, but I loved it--and truth be known, I was a big Mississippi State fan, too !
I appreciated, also, the references to Mississippi's struggles to become a more tolerant state. It was poignant writing, and it was a time to remember, so that we can be better people.
Thank you, Stuart Stevens--and your father.
