The thing about the 99 team was most of the good recruiting ended up being sanctioned.
I was doing some research about that team and there were at least 4 DT's on that team that were drafted into the NFL which is very impressive b/c DT's is one posistion that can pretty much win a game easier and dumber than any other posistion.
Can someone familiar with that situation let me know exactly how and why they were sanctioned under the Jackel?

Why was Billy "Dog" Brewer dismissed from Oxford prior to the 1994 season ? And,why was Ole Miss' 1987 team ineligible for post season (which their putrid 3-8 record would have prevented anyway) ?

The 1999 team was not sanctioned. The wrong doings we got nailed for was recruiting for the 2000 class. Someone's hotel room was paid for during a visit and a couple of recruits received a small amount of spending cash for food and so forth. And by the way, those recruits never played at State, so we didn't get any real benefit from the cheating.

Interesting article. I didn't realize that Missouri had a good team that year either. The article's claim that Ole Miss had no black players and therefore can't be champion is hogwash.
That might be one of the worst ideas i've ever seen expressed.
Ole Miss got hosed in 60'
Most people realize that and give us that one.
1960 and 1962 we went undefeated.

McComb and South Pike were a much bigger deal for as long as I could remember.
I'm not sure why McComb and Brookhaven were even mentioned. McComb and South Pike was a huge rivalry (I would assume still is, but I haven't kept up with it since the late 90s). I mean like triple security big rivalry.

Did you ever.
1960 AP Poll
Ole Miss started out second behind defending champion Syracuse. Nothing out of ordinary about that. Minnesota,however was unranked and this was two years before the AP's ranking of only 10 teams.
Ole Miss played a game before Syracuse and rose up to #1 the following week. However #2 Iowa jumped over Ole Miss in mid-Oct. Iowa beat #12 Wisconsin by 7 in Iowa City. Evidently voters were unimpressed with Ole Miss beating Tulane 26-13 in New Orleans.
Tie tie with LSU knocked Ole Miss down to 6th in the Halloween poll. Minnesota rose up to #1 the following week after beating Iowa soundly, 27-10.
The next week 2-4-1 Purdue upset Minnesota in Minneapolis, 23-14. The same day Ole Miss thumped #14 Tennessee in Knoxville, 24-3.However,#5 Iowa throttled #2 Ohio State, 35-12 to move up to #2 behind Missouri. Ole Miss inched up to #3.
Missouri lost the following week to Kansas. Minnesota,who was 4th,beat a 4-4 Wisconsin team ,26-7. #2 Iowa beat a bad Notre Dame team,but it was 28-0 in South Bend. Ole Miss was idle.
Minnesota jumped to #1 and stayed there. Ole Miss' win over Mississippi State jumped the Rebels to #2 over Iowa,who finished its season in South Bend the preceding week.
Strange stuff.
Ole Miss did go on to the Sugar Bowl and defeat Rice, 14-6 after the polls.

Because South Pike get's demolished every year by McComb. The Brookhaven McComb game is usually always really close. With a HUGE crowd.

Very hard for me to say. I don't even want to take a guess at it but maybe 6,000???
Posted on 6/18/09 at 4:21 pm to RGCjr01
so like Bankshot said, since 2000 then maybe.
I can guarantee you nobody from McComb thought more of Brookhaven as a rival than South Pike from the 70's through the 90's. ESPN 2 even did a feature on it back in 94 or 95.

Brandon and Pearl played three games at MS Veteran's in Jackson in the early 90's that averaged around 10,000. The 1991 game was said to have around 15,000.

Yeah I'm probably way off on that estimate.

Which is why I claim the 1960 championship.
The NCAA game franchise gives it to us too.
It's legit enough for me.
