Final day of practice for OSU, Ole Miss

All the media sessions and banquets are over. It's time to get down to football at the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic.

Both football teams will celebrate the New Year with their final practices at Cowboys Stadium before the 1:15 p.m. kickoff on Saturday. Both Oklahoma State and Ole Miss' practices are closed and players and coaches are off limits to the media.

Fans can still get pumped about the game, however. There will be a parade in downtown Dallas today starting at 2:30 p.m. followed by pep rallies for both schools at the American Airlines Center starting about 4 p.m.
