Hearty congrats to Ole Miss on their first Georgia Dome appearance!
This was happening roughly 22 years ago.

In fact, when the Boise - Ole Miss game kicks off that stadium will be 9 days short of exactly 22 years old.
And it will be the Ole Miss Rebels first appearance in the Georgia Dome. Ole Miss has never played in a Peach Bowl at the Georgia Dome. Ole Miss has never played in a SEC Championship football game. Thursday's Boise State game will be Ole Miss's first football appearance of any kind in the Georgia Dome.
But they finally made some kind of game there, so congrats! Glad they finally made it. That building only has 2 years of college football left due to construction of the New Atlanta Stadium.
Here's a picture of the Georgia Dome in case you rebels need to know what it looks like. As you can see, its more of a tent than a dome. But, whatever.
