A season that began as Ole Miss's best in decades ended as the program's first with 11 regular-season wins, and it took the Oxford Eagle until this week to do the run full justice in print.

The newspaper released its Record Season Commemorative Magazine on March 26, the high-gloss centerpiece of a keepsake collection it first launched in December as the Rebels entered the College Football Playoff. The magazine documents the 2025 season through game-by-game photography, in-depth player profiles, and a section dedicated to the records the Rebels broke along the way. The 11-1 regular season was itself a program first; Ole Miss then hosted No. 11 Tulane in the CFP first round before advancing to the Allstate Sugar Bowl against No. 3 Georgia as the No. 6 seed.

What distinguishes the Eagle's publication from national sports coverage is its origin: a locally staffed newsroom documented each game from inside Lafayette County, and every dollar spent on the $45 magazine goes back into that same reporting operation. The price includes shipping anywhere in the United States. Readers who pick up a copy in person at the Eagle's office at 2714 West Oxford Loop Suite 161 pay $30, with the office open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Eagle deliberately produced the magazine as a coffee-table piece rather than a traditional game program, with high-gloss printing designed to stay on shelves long after the final score has been forgotten. That production choice separates it from the $15 newsprint playoff preview edition also available in the store, which captures Oxford's atmosphere on the eve of the CFP run. Printed posters of the Eagle's front pages from playoff game editions round out the collection, giving collectors multiple formats at different price points.

For local libraries, alumni organizations, and fans who buy one copy to frame and one to read, the physical record carries something that streaming replays cannot. College towns absorb historic seasons into their civic identity, and a locally produced magazine, built from coverage that ran from the press box at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium to the sidelines in New Orleans, documents the 2025 campaign from inside Oxford rather than from a national sports desk.

Fans with their own photos, tailgate moments, or game-day stories from the season are invited to share them with the Eagle, filling in the chapters no sideline photographer could capture alone.

The magazine and remaining keepsakes are available through the Eagle's online store, with in-person pickup at the West Oxford Loop office while supplies last.
