My favorite Jack call ever. He loved MSU and hated to see them so bad. During the Croom years when it was horrible, we had gotten beaten down by Auburn.

At the end of the game, he announced the "Sonic Drive of the Game" would be his damn drive back to his home in Tupelo.

Jack was also an avid smoker. At a basketball game I watched a man bring his young son to meet Jack during halftime. Jack did his song and dance and the man said "We love you Jack and we want to see you live. You need to stop smoking."

Jack said as calm as he could "My daddy lived until he was 95 years old." The man said "Did he smoke?" Jack responded "No, he minded his own damn business."

His go-to response was always "I told my doc that I'd quit smoking when he did"

Alav ha-shalom, Mr. Jack

It was Alabama. Not Auburn. I remember it because it was my birthday and MSU always plays Alabama on or near my birthday.

Come to think of it, I believe it was sherrill's last year and not a Croom year when the team had given up the year before.

Damn the 00's were horrible.
