WATCH: At Ole Miss, Tommy Tuberville tries to fire up crowd, gets boos instead
Fans may have been a bit confused when Ole Miss dipped into its video archives to pull out an old video of former coach Tommy Tuberville trying to fire up the crowd.
In the video shown on the video board during the Texas A&M-Ole Miss game, Tuberville said, “The players are ready. The coaches are ready. I have one question, are you ready?”
The former Ole Miss coach was in town to broadcast the game on ESPN with Mike Patrick. Earlier in the week, the Ole Miss football Twitter account tweeted, “word is they’re traveling to Oxford by pine box,” an obvious reference to one of Tuberville’s final statements as Ole Miss coach.
Tuberville left Ole Miss for Auburn in 1998 only a week after he declared, “They’ll have to carry me out of here in a pine box.”
Tommy Tuberville does the 'Are You Ready?' on the Ole Miss jumbotron at halftime and the Rebels haven't scored since. Coincidence?

They just showed Tommy Tuberville doing the "Are You Ready" during some point in his coaching tenure. Met with boos, almost no cheers.
BREAKING: Ole Miss fans, not over it.
