No one is crying a river for Ole Miss football. Especially not Justin Timberlake.

The music legend and Memphis, Tennessee, native was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame on Saturday night, and used the opportunity to praise the previously unranked University of Memphis football team, which took down then-13th-ranked Ole Miss 37-24 earlier in the day.

Following an introduction that included "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon and Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley -- Timberlake had the band play the Tigers' fight song and led the room in a celebration as the consummate Memphis fan got ready to begin his speech.
