At what point did we stop scoring and y'all start? We jumped up 21-0 and then y'all decided to go out and put 62 on the scoreboard with Gary Hollingsworth under center? What happened? Let's have a history lesson, brah.

You do not want a history lesson on this game. I was 12 at the time sitting in Memorial Stadium. That day is the day my hatred for Alabama began. Being 12 years old and having beer poured on you is not a great experience.

Ole Miss came out ready. Alabama was not. I remember my uncle was leaving just as the game started, and my father was in the front yard taking a while to say goodbye. I would update him with the score - 0-7...0-14...0-21......7-21...14-21...21-21...it got crazy after that.
I have never seen a game like it. In those days, you didn't run up 62 points on someone unless they were totally outclassed; but you didn't jump on a team 21-0 if you were outclassed. It was the most sudden and drastic momentum shift I have ever witnessed. Ole Miss put one last score up to finish 62-27, I think.
