Izinto Okumele Ziyazi Uma Uya EYunivesithi Yase-Mississippi Game Football
Izwi le-University of Mississippi (aka Ole Miss) abalandeli bebhola lezinyawo ezithandwa kakhulu yilo: "Asikwazi ukunqoba yonke imidlalo, kodwa asilahlekelwa yiqembu." Leli gama alikwazi ukulukhuni njengoba uzothola ohambweni ukuya e-Oxford, e-Mississippi. Ibhola alizange lihle kakhulu ku-Ole Miss eminyakeni edlule, nehloko eyodwa ye-SEC kuphela njengoba ihlukaniswe ngezigaba ngo-1992, kodwa uzokwazi ukuthi isimiso sabo sizogcwala amaqembu SEC SEC ukuncintisana.
I-Grove, noma kunjalo, kungenzeka ukuthi iyona nto ebaluleke kakhulu kulo lonke ibhola lebhola lezinyawo lapho bonke abantu babuthana endaweni enyakatho yeVaught-Hemingway Stadium. Akulimazi ukuthi i-Grove igcwele amantombazane enhle kakhulu, agqoke kahle ezimgqokweni nasezintendeni kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isimo sezulu siyini. Ukunambitheka kwakho kweqiniso kweNingizimu kulindeleke ngempelasonto yebhola ekolishi e-Oxford.
Nini ukuya
Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, u-Ole Miss udlala e-SEC West futhi muva nje i-SEC inqume izitha zayo ezingezona ezahlukana kuze kube ngu-2025. Izihlubuki zadingeka zidlale umdlalo wekhaya ngokumelene neGeorgia ngo-2016, futhi izokwazi ukudlala imidlalo yasekhaya ngokumelene neSouth Carolina ngo-2018, eFlorida ngo-2020, naseMissouri ngo-2024, kodwa akudingeki ukuba ulinde lezo zikole ukuthola okuhle umdlalo ukuze ubone. Imidlalo enhle ukubona eminyakeni eyizinombolo eziyi-Alabama no-Auburn ne-LSU ne-Texas A & M efika edolobheni eminyakeni engakahleleki. I-Mississippi State iyinhlangano yabo enkulu kakhulu, kodwa umdlalo uyenzeka ngaphezu kwe-Thanksgiving futhi ingase ilahlekelwe yi-buzz yomzimba womfundi ngaphandle kokuthi amaqembu womabili aphumelele kulowo nyaka onikeziwe.
Mhlawumbe ngeke ujabule kakhulu nge-Ole Miss game-division division-rivalry game nemidlalo yasekhaya ngokumelene neVanderbilt njalo njalo ngoba uVanderbilt ngokusobala akuyona amandla emidlalo webhola. Kodwa uma ungakwazi nje ukucindezela kumphikisi ongaphansi, ngiyaqinisekisa ukuthi usazojabulela i-Oxford.
Amathikithi
Njengoba ungalindela, amathikithi akuzona izinto ezilula ukuza.
Ngokuvamile ngeke ukwazi ukuthola amathikithi emakethe oyinhloko ngeYunivesithi yaseMississippi ngoba amathikithi amaningi athengiswa kuba-alumni noma abafundi. Cishe uzophetha ukubheka izinketho zamathikithi ezisezingeni elifana ne-StubHub ne-eBay noma i-aggregator yamathikithi (cabanga uKayak ngamathikithi ezemidlalo) njenge SeatGeek noTiqIQ. I-Craigslist ingenye indlela yokwenza ukusebenzisana kodwa ayinakho ukuphepha okufanayo kokwazi ukuthi uthenga amathikithi wangempela. Ungase futhi uzame ukusebenza ama-tailgates ngaphambi komdlalo ukubona ukuthi ngabe ubani uthengisa, kodwa cishe kufanele uvikele amathikithi ekuqaleni uma uhamba ngaleyo ndlela.
Ukufika Lapho
Oxford, Mississippi akuyona indawo elula yokufinyelela. Ungakwazi ukungena esikhumulweni sezindiza sase-Oxford University nge-jet yangasese noma nge-Southern Airways Express evela e-Atlanta, Destin (eFlorida), naseJackson (Mississippi) ngoLwesihlanu. Uma kungenjalo, udinga ukuhamba uye eNomphis bese ushayela ihora nengxenye ku-Oxford. Ungafika eMemphis kusuka kuningi kuphi ezweni. Okungenani ezinye zezindiza ezinkulu zingakuthola khona ukusuka edolobheni lakho eliseduze kakhulu. Ukushayela kubuye kube ngaphansi kwamahora amathathu ukusuka eJackson naseBirmingham, ngaphansi kwamahora amane ukusuka e-Little Rock naseNashville, futhi cishe amahora amahlanu ukusuka e-Atlanta naseNew Orleans.
Ayikho isevisi yebhasi noma isitimela esebenza e-Oxford ngakho isitimela yindlela yakho kuphela.
Uzohlalaphi
Inkinga enkulu lapho uvakashela i-Oxford ukuthola indawo yehhotela. Awufani namanye amadolobha ekolishi namahhotela edolobheni nakwamanye amahotela angaphansi kokushayela okuhle okushayela ukuthi ungathatha amatekisi futhi kusukela ngezimpelasonto zemidlalo. Amahhotela angaphakathi nase-Around Square, enhliziyweni yedolobha lase-Oxford, ayabiza kakhulu ngezimpelasonto zezemidlalo futhi athole izinyanga ezibekiwe ngaphambili. Uma ungakwazi ukuhlela isikhathi esanele kusengaphambili futhi ube nemali yokuyichitha, izinketho ezimbili ozibukayo yiDowntown Oxford Inn kanye neThe Inn e-Ole Miss. Ngaphandle kwalokho, amahhotela aseduze kunamakhilomitha amabili noma ngaphezulu ukusuka edolobheni. Ama-brand aphansi awakhiwa lawa amanye amahhotela amagama owaziyo njengeHinnton Inn, Super 8, neHolliday Inn Express, kodwa ukungabi lula kuzokwenza izinto zibuhlungu.
Okunye okungcono kakhulu ukuqasha i-RV. Kunezindawo eziningi ezizungeze i-campus ukupaka i-RV yakho futhi indawo yakho izoba ngcono ngaphambi kokufika kwakho. Kumele ukwazi ukuzungeza kahle uma ungacabangi ukuhamba izindawo. (Amatekisi ayanzima ukuwuthola.) Labo abashayela eMemphis bangathatha i-RV ngaphakathi kwebhayisikili esuka esikhumulweni sezindiza. Okunye okunye ukubuka ukuqasha indlu noma i-condo nge-VRBO noma i-Airbnb. Noma yini ongayithola eduze ne-Square ingaba isimo esihle.
Ukumisa
Isikhathi sokukhuluma ngengxenye engcono kakhulu ye-adventure yakho ye-Ole Miss, i-Grove. Kuyinto yesehlakalo esiyinkimbinkimbi enkulu kangangokuthi ine-Wikipedia yayo ikhasi. Abantu bafika epaki le-10 acre ngasenyakatho yeVaught-Hemingway Stadium ngoLwesihlanu ngaphambi kwezemidlalo futhi bahlele isitolo. Imithetho ishintshile phakathi neminyaka mayelana nokuthi ama-tailgates asekuqaleni angasetha kanjani (ngokomlando bebelokhu bekhona kusukela ekuseni kuya ntambama kuya phakathi kwamabili), ngakho-ke kuzodingeka uhlole ulwazi lwendawo lapho uya khona.
(Kukhona abanye abantu abagibela imithetho bese bevala isikhala sabo ngaphambi kokuba bafanele.)
Kukhona imithetho emithathu emqoka ku-Grove oyodinga ukwazi ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Umthetho # 1 wukuthi amalangabi avulekile awavunyelwe. Ama-tailgates ngokuvamile ayaziwa ngama-burgers nezinja, kodwa ngeke ubone noma yimuphi kulabo lapha. Uzobona izinto ezifana namasangweji, ama-appetizers alungiselelwe, noma ngisho namathreyidi ezintandokazi zendawo ezifana neChick-A-A noma i-Zaxby ngoba abantu basadinga ukudla. Umthetho # 2 wukuthi ayikho izimoto ezivunyelwe ku-Grove. Isikhala siyinhloko, ngakho-ke amatende azobekwa eceleni komunye. Umthetho # 3, futhi mhlawumbe obaluleke kunazo zonke, ukuthi zonke iziphuzo kumele zisetshenziswe ngaphandle kwezinkomishi ngenxa yeminye imithetho yasekhaya yangaphambilini mayelana nokudakwa utshwala.
Lokhu akusho ukuthi ngeke ujabulele eGrove. Kusekuningi utshwala ozoyidla (vele uqiniseke ukuthi unayo indebe yakho) nokudla okudliwayo (hhayi nje i-cheeseburger entsha).
Izinto ziqala cishe ngo-4 ekuseni, kanti wonke umuntu ugqoke kahle, ngakho qiniseka ukuthi ugqoka ngendlela efanele. Ngeke kube nomthelela uma ungenayo indawo yakho yesikhombi esasungulwe. Ungakwazi ukuhamba njalo nge-cooler yakho bese ungenelela ekuthungeni komunye umuntu ngoba ukwenza abangane kulula.
Ukudla
Njengawo wonke amancane edolobheni lasekolishi, kunezindawo ezinhle ugwayi wendawo mayelana nokuthi uzofuna ukuzibonela wena.
Indawo yokuqala kwimenyu ibhulakufesi ku-Big Bad Breakfast. Eyaziwa ukuthi usebenzisa i-chili kuzo zonke izitsha zabo zakusasa kwasekuseni, uzojabulela noma yini inhliziyo yakho efisa. Ama-Hash ama-brown nezinyanga eziphulukisiwe ziyizinhlangothi eziphakanyisiwe ngesidlo sakho, kodwa ungashiyi ngaphandle kokuba nama-biscuits abo. Naphezu kwegama, futhi bakhonza izinkukhu ezinomtholo nezinkukhu ezihlwaye. (Bavala emva kwalokho.) Okulandelayo ukuma ekuhambeni kwakho kokudla yi-Ajax Diner. Udla ukudla okuvamile okungeningizimu lapha nezinto ezifana nenkukhu namadombolo noma i-catfish ethosiwe. Kukhona nabakwa-burgers abathandekayo lapha, njengokuthi "i-Deuce," okuyi-burger emibili ene-bacon kanye noshizi. Ngingasikisela ukuthi ngithatha isangweji le-steak elithosiwe elibizwa ngokuthi "I-Big Easy," eliza ngamabhontshisi abhakabhaka, amazambane kanye ne-gravy eqoshwe phezulu. Cindezela ku-broccoli ne-rice casserole uma unegumbi elisele.
Kunezinye izindawo ezimbalwa zokubamba ama-burgers. Njengoba kuvezwe kwi-TV ye-Burger Land, i-Phillips Grocery inikeza i-skillet-fried burger burger, ehlangana nofulawa ku-Burger. Kungase kuzwakale kuyinqaba, kodwa uzoyithokozisa. I-Louar Lounge inikeza i-Burger ye-Lamar okwakho kokugcina kuhlu lwama-burger. Bayazi ukuthi bangayifaka kanjani ama-juice ngaphakathi ngokunikeza i-char enhle ngaphandle.
I-Taylor Grocery ibizwa ngokuthi i-catfish kanye ne-rotel fries, eyinhlobonhlobo yezinhlobonhlobo zasemakhaya, kodwa imizuzu engu-20 eningizimu ye-Oxford. Ngokwehluleka okuthakazelisayo, ungakwazi ukufaka isikhwama sakho utshwala ngenkathi ukhona futhi ungase udinge ngoba kuhlale kulindele itafula. Ukugcina ngezinto zokudla, i-City Grocery iyindawo eyaziwayo ekhishwa ngokushesha ngokubhuka. Kuzodingeka futhi uvikele ukubhuka ku-Snackbar, ingxenye yomndeni wakwa-City Grocery, owuthanda kakhulu kunezinye izindawo zendawo. I-cocktails ihamba kahle nama-oysters akho nanoma iyiphi inkambo enkulu yokukhetha kwakho. Kungase kudingeke uhambe ngezikhathi ezingavamile, kodwa ama-shrimp kanye nama-grits ayafaneleka. Uzothola isoka elithile edolobheni ngoba lokhu kungeningizimu ngemuva kwakho konke. I-Andy's Handy yindawo yakho kulokho, kodwa banabhegers abalungile futhi.
Ungathola futhi i-Boure Burger enhle kakhulu eBoure noma uthole i-surf ne-turf yabo uma unamabhegi amaningi kakhulu kule ndawo.
Ngingathanda ukukhuluma ngokudla e-Oxford ngingakhulumi ngesimo sokudla sebusuku se-Chevron. Lokhu kungase kuzwakale kuyinqaba uma ufunda okokuqala, kodwa ngiyakwazi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isiteshi segesi sinikeza lokho abantu abakuyo bathanda ngemva kokuphuza ebusuku. "Inkukhu emthonjeni" yilokho, kepha kuyisayithi okufanele ibone lapho wonke umuntu ehlangana khona ngemuva kokuthi imigoqo ivaliwe. Uma izinkokhelo zezinkukhu emthonjeni zingakwenzi, uhlale u-Sonic emgwaqweni.
Amabha
Awukwazi ukwenza uhambo oluya ku-Ole Miss football game ku-Oxford ngaphandle kokuya ku-The Library. Angikubhekisele endaweni yesikhungo ngezincwadi, kodwa ibha ehlale ihlelwe njengenye yebhaleji eliphezulu kakhulu yezwe kuleli zwe. Impela imigoqo emibili, kodwa indawo eyinhloko yindawo yokudlala yomculo evulekile kulabo abangu-18 +. Kukhona ne-Patio yeLabhulali ne-Bar yezemidlalo ye-Library ukuze ubambe isithakazelo sakho. Ungase ukhononde ngesembozo se-$ 20 emavikini e-football, kodwa uzokujabulela uma usuphakathi. Uma unenhlanhla, uzothola izandla zakho ekhadini leLibhubhu elifunayo bese ungena mahhala. Bathengisa inani elilinganiselwe izikhathi ezimbalwa ngonyaka noma bafake imincintiswano ukuze uwine. Uzochitha iningi lesabelo sokuphuza seviki lakho lapha.
Iningi leminye imigoqo e-Oxford iphakathi kwe-Square. Izindawo eziningi ziyizinga lakho elijwayelekile lekolishi. Ama-dive amachashazi afana (isisekelo sendawo) i-Rib Cage ne-Levee ingakugcina ujabulise uma uthanda leyo hlobo yesehlakalo. Ungase ubambe ukubona abadlali bezemidlalo ku-Funky's, eseduze komtapo weLibhuku. Ibizwa ngokuthi "ibha ye-pizza neyayifiri", kodwa inikeza isimo esibucayi kakhulu esabekwe emuva.
