Understanding spouses nationwide know that fall is college football season. But for one Ole Miss couple, their love took the next big step in front of several thousand of their new closest friends – and even included Rebels coach Lane Kiffin.
Former Ole Miss pole vaulter Drew O’Connor came out onto the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium turf at a timeout in the third quarter of the Rebels’ game against The Citadel, ostensibly to kick a field goal as part of an on-field promotion. O’Connor’s girlfriend, Madison Barnette, joined him to act as the holder for the field goal attempt, but instead of attempting the kick, O’Connor instead got down on one knee and proposed.
Barnette said yes, and slipped on a ring to the delight of the Ole Miss fans in the crowd.
Enter Kiffin, the 6th-year Ole Miss coach, who apparently was watching the entire thing from the Rebels sideline. Clearly happy for the couple, Kiffin slyly slid into the couple’s joyous moment to pose for photographs while pointing at them in celebration.
