Vandy:
Despite the fact that Ole Miss leads the series with Vandy, the Vandy v. Ole Miss game has become an exciting, nail biting experience. The most memorable Ole Miss Vandy game came on Oct 28, 1989 in Oxford. Chuck Mullins was severely injured and later died from a massive hit in that game.

I'm surprised you don't list the December 2001 game, Woody Widenhofer's last as VU head coach. The game was postponed from the week of Sept. 11. VU blew something like a 21-point lead in the 3rd. I certainly found that memorable :-) , but I would have thought Ole Miss fans would too because of the comeback.
