Ole Miss football announces date, start time for 2023 Grove Bowl
Ole Miss Football may be in a bit of a hibernation period coming off the heels of the 2022 season’s conclusion back in December, but it will be awakening soon enough.
Spring practices are a little over a month away and on Tuesday Ole Miss announced the date and start time for the annual Grove Bowl, which marks the end of spring drills.
This year’s Grove Bowl will take place on April 15 at 2 p.m. CT inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Spring practice for the Rebels will begin on March 21. Television and gameday information for fans will be announced at a later date.
The Grove Bowl is the intrasquad scrimmage for Ole Miss and is usually divided up as the Red Team versus the Blue Team.
This year’s spring practice will have a lot of attention after Ole Miss recently added a new infusion of talent to the 2023 roster, welcoming 20 mid-year enrollees to campus.
The list of new Rebels joining the team for spring practice features 13 Division I transfers that On3 currently ranks as the No. 3 class in the team transfer rankings. Ole Miss claimed four of the top 50 available transfers, according to On3.
April is a busy month for Ole Miss athletics and Oxford, becoming busier with the official addition of the Grove Bowl to the calendar.
The weekend of the Grove Bowl sees the defending national champion Ole Miss baseball team taking on in-state rival Mississippi State in Starkville April 14-16. The following two weekends to close out April sees the Rebels hosting LSU and Georgia at Oxford-University Stadium.
On the same weekend as the Tigers come to Swayze Field country music star Morgan Wallen is holding two concerts at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The weekend of the Georgia series is also the 26th Annual Double Decker Arts Festival.
This year’s spring practice will be head coach Lane Kiffin’s third since coming to Ole Miss. The 2020 spring drills were canceled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
