Spent more time in Oxford last weekend than I ever have before. Nice town. Pretty campus. Sneaked into an empty Millett Hall just to poke around. I was impressed with it. Never seen a game there, but the facility itself seems nice. They did a good job with the Hall of Fame in the foyer area. Walked into a back area underneath the arena, and bumped into a student equipment manager (?). Talked for a minute, and looked closely at their new helmet. I will admit, I do like the color. No fan of the "Miami" in big letters across the back.
Also spent some time kicking on their practice football fields. That whole athletics area is well done. Nice facilities, and their stadium leaves a good impression.
On Saturday afternoon, the students were exercising 'Spring Fever' and every third or fourth house was hosting a party. Miami students can't point a finger at OU as a party school. They were doing just fine on that point.
Their campus definitely impressed a group of Tennessee High School girls I was with, which were in town because of a soccer tournament hosted by Oxford. I hope Athens takes advantage of similar opportunities.
