Last week in Oxford, Miss., fans put on a show for the ages on the Grove, giving the world a glimpse into what Saturdays are like on Ole Miss’ campus. After their visit to Oxford, ESPN’s College GameDay is moving to Mississippi State’s campus for the first time as the No. 3 Bulldogs take on No. 3 Auburn. They welcomed in GameDay host Chris Fowler with a care package to get the weekend going.

The host of ESPN’s Saturday morning show arrived in Starkville on Friday and found quite the welcoming gift, which he posted to his Instagram account.

On the right, a Mississippi State-branded cowbell, which Fowler will hear plenty of on Saturday. On the left, a bottle of Blanton’s single barrel bourbon whiskey. It sounds like Fowler is a fan of the latter.

Will Mississippi State’s fans be able to outshine their in-state rivals on Saturday ahead of their showdown with No. 2 Auburn? They’re already off to a good start with the GameDay crew.
