For visitors, locals and Ole Miss students, fall is arguably the best time of year in Oxford, Mississippi. And it came as no surprise when ESPN recently named Oxford as the best college town in the nation. Though cooler temps and leaves changing colors are nice features, the star of the show is football and what that entails.
