Ole Miss football end zones look a little different for the Kentucky game
It's the stripe-out game today for Ole Miss's first conference game, as they face a 2-2 Kentucky team at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The Rebels are known for mixing things up, whether that's NIL or recruiting. They made a few changes to the game today.
As the game started, the cameras picked up the new-look end zones. The Rebels moved their end zones to read "THE SIP" instead of "Rebels." Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin was also rocking the word "SIP" on his shirt, which is typical for Kiffin.
Another recruiting mastermind from the Ole Miss team?
Ole Miss is a team known for their initiation when it comes to NIL fundraising and recruiting. The new-look end zones could be a recruiting ploy, with plenty of recruits at the game and watching from home.
The Rebels frequently use the word "SIP" in different ways, the main one being "Come to the SIP." Something that didn't go down well with rivals Mississippi State. Maybe not apparent to everybody, but the word sip comes from within the word Mississippi.
Ole Miss is looking to move to 5-0 with a big win over Kentucky today in front of a packed house. After the first quarter, they are up 7-3.
