I actually found it to be really cool. But I don’t think anything on here is in the top 5 best SEC traditions.

The best tradition in the sec is Bama winning. U can have enter sandman and the eagle flying down to a chicken bone.

Interesting story about 12 man, when I was at Ole Miss in 80s I was a walk-on volunteer to be in Kickoff team for spring game because they had so many injuries from previous years. I think they were 8 to 10 of us. Billy Brewer years, there is article or paragraph about it in Clarion Ledger.

i think I ended up with 4 tackles or something like that, including the one on opening KO, and cracked ribs on the last one when Dale Harvey’s Squibb kick when 40 damn yards and got us killed with crack back blocks. (Which was wild because I was so freaking hung over I wanted to puke the whole time, so as the Oakland Raiders proved you can play hung over)

Anyway, I was told that the coaches were interested in me and one other guy possibly being a 12th man for the fall but needed SEC Commissioners permission or something. Basically a trainer or something ask me would you be interested in being on Kick off team if we get permission? (No cell phones back then) I said sure. The SEC said no.

So there you have it SEC Rant, and Aggies I was almost one of Ole Miss’s 12th man. If this would have happened my brother who was at LSU at the time and I would have gotten to take a great lsu ole miss brother pick at the game, maybe we would have been first Ole Miss LSU brothers to play against each other.

Anyway, I have no clue if I would have ever seen the field was just for practices etc. Also, Ole Miss AD, I am still waiting on that game Jersey you promised me. i was the guy that took the helmet to the ribs on last kickoff as I was breaking down to make last tackle and had the perfect size 12 helmet pattern in my ribs, as took helmet to chest at full speed from 275 pound lineman on crack back as was gleefully shown to me by the doctor at the ER at Hospital. He saw the play live, as said I thought i would see you tonight, lol. They didn’t charge me a penny btw which I always thought was cool.

My cover is blown but that’s a completely true story

Sandstorm is great entrance music for us.

The song has a great intro, but like USC, most tune out about half way though it.

you name all these things before the 4 corner salute?

You might be interested to know that prior to Fall 1973, LSU Tiger Band's Pregame saluted both east and west sides of the stadium twice (and also played the visiting team fight song toward the visiting East side).

It is only known to myself and two or three others (and the deceased band director William F. Swor whose sense of humor was under-rated) that the salute towards the South end zone corners came about due to a band member's desire to impress his 16 year old girlfriend sitting in the South end zone. This helped convince the girl to attend LSU the next Fall and become a Tigerette baton twirler.

The stunt was so well received by the fans in the South end of the stadium that it was adopted as a permanent part of the "Four Corner Salute" as we presently know it. Now in her 60's of course, she has never been told that she inspired the change.
