"We've got chandaliers, tvs, the best food, fine china," said Annie McFadden an Ole Miss alum.
Rebel girls at the game in designer sunglasses, their nails? Perfectly manicured.
"So you're not tailgating," said McFadden. "You're basically at home."
If this was their home in Oxford, Mississippi, everyone would be in "The Grove", but we're not in Oxford, Mississippi, this is Arkansas.
Where instead of cucumber salads and hotty toddy's, you can get hot dogs and beer in "The Groove".
"Rather than 'The Grove'," said Greg Otwell. "We love to play music, so we're gonna be called 'The Groove'."
A "funky-town" thought of by Otwell and his razorback friends.
"'The Groove' is about 70's funk, 80's music," Otwell said. "It's about just being real, being yourself."
A place, where it's okay to sip your drink without your pinky raised.
"Come on by and I'll maybe show you some moves," Otwell said.
A place even rebels couldn't resist and fans from both sides could let their fun flag fly and of course proudly call the hogs.
"Whether they win or lose," said Otwell. "We'll make sure they have a good time."
