If you’re not already a believer in southern hospitality, this might change your mind!!
Just like Katy Perry predicted, the Ole Miss Rebels pulled off a HUGE upset this past weekend after beating the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday, and much like Miss Perry, the fans went absolutely NUTS!
Unfortunately, all of the celebrating came at a fairly steep price as the goal posts that were destroyed cost about $11,000 each, and the school was fined around $50,000 for the students rushing the field after the game!

But the Rebel fans didn’t simply make a mess and wait for someone else to clean it up for them! In fact, they took it upon themselves to pay for ALL of the damages done to the field, and they did it insanely fast!
By using Ignite, a crowd-funding site similar to Kickstarter, Ole Miss fans raised $75,000 in just THREE HOURS!!! And it didn’t stop there either! At the moment this is being written, the school has raised an astounding $96,418, and there’s still 21 days left to donate!
Obviously Ole Miss has more than enough money for all of the repairs necessary, but so far it doesn’t look like anyone knows what to do with the extra $21,000 they just have lying around! Hopefully they find a way to give back to the fans, because they definitely deserve it!
Stay classy, Rebels!!
