I have attended the University of Mississippi three different times. Though I always hated school and was never just lyrically good at it, I have indeed done it a lot. I am also descended from Ole Miss royalty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mom was Miss University. She deserved that. She was and is gorgeous. Dad played tight end for Johnny Vaught from 1958 through 1962. His team won the national championship and went undefeated. The argument could be made that it was that magnificent football team that kept the place from literally burning to the ground during the 1962 riots. That was when James Meredith became the first black student admitted to any Mississippi state university. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
