(WTVA) – Life in Oxford is returning to normal after Ole Miss beat LSU over the weekend. Tailgate trash has been picked up and hauled off from the area around campus. Sanitation workers and volunteer cleanup crews worked to clear the area following the game. Local first responders, including police, fire and EMS personnel, were also busy throughout the weekend.   Oxford Police called in sheriff’s deputies, campus police, state troopers, and Mobile, Alabama’s mounted unit to help with crowd control. Many first responders worked 13 to 18-hour shifts beginning Friday. The city expected as many as 350,000 football fans in town. “On the report from Friday through Sunday, we had around 34 people arrested,” said Oxford Police PIO Breck Jones. “Which is fairly typical for a ballgame weekend for us.” Jones said the rivalry’s intensity did not lead to additional problems for city police.
