OXFORD, Miss. (WCBI/Ole Miss Athletics) — Ole Miss will host 2018 Grove Bowl festivities on April 7 at 1 p.m. at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, and admission is free. Television and general gameday information for the football team’s annual intrasquad scrimmage will be announced at a later date.

As part of Ole Miss’ Year of the Fan activities, two lucky fans will have the opportunity to serve as honorary coaches and join the team on the sidelines for the game. For a chance to be selected for this and other unique opportunities and prizes, fans should share the story of their Rebel fandom at OMYearoftheFan.com.

The Grove Bowl will serve as the finale of the Rebels’ spring drills, which begin on February 27. The team practices on March 3 and March 24 will be open to the public.
