The win was a historic one for the Rebels, as they had never beaten Alabama in consecutive seasons. As the Clarion Ledger notes, Church's appearance was especially meaningful for the Rebels' head coach.

The Rebels welcomed country music star Eric Church into their raucous locker room following their 43-37 road upset of No. 2 Alabama. Rebels head coach Hugh Freeze was impressed with being able to share in the revelry with Church….
“We just had Eric Church in our locker room singing Outsiders with us,” Freeze said. “That's a blast. He's one of my music heroes. I'm totally thrilled.”

This is a great story! We love how it shows that even when country stars make it big, they still take time to give back to the public. Eric Church sounds like a great guy who values what his fans have done for him. No wonder he's so popular!
