Nobody has the majority in Mississippi.

Ole Miss WOULD have the majority if it became a national power again, as it did at one time--that was my point.

The vision thing, again.

When I was a boy, virtually every top prospect that the Coast produced signed with Ole Miss--in fact, I cannot remember one who did not....but in recent decades, the only ones that have, other than Syniker Taylor, were a couple of guys that were funneled to Ole Miss by a sympathetic coach at Moss Point who is no longer there.....

And there is more LSU merchandise in stores than there is for any of the Mississippi schools...which would have been unthinkable a few decades ago.....

All about doing what it takes to be a big-time program....do that and everything else follows.....
