The story is linked here

"The buzz: This will be the 105th meeting, and it will be the 81st time they've met for the "Golden Egg" trophy. <span style="text-decoration: underline; font-style: italic;">Ole Miss has won four in a row</span> and all but nails down a Cotton Bowl bid with a victory."

Is it really that hard to look up simple statistics like who won? Maybe I just don't understand the rigors of journalism...

I'm sure Ole Miss has won four in a row at some point in history, but obviously not the last four.

and unless I'm badly mistaken, we won last year. They have won four in a row before, but not the last four, obviously. What they have done is win four in a row in Oxford, but he didn't say that.
