Texas Tech did him so egregiously wrong that I was glad he pursued it for years. They should have had to pay him triple / quadruple in wages for the wrong doing they did him.

Telling the sports reporter to elope…candy corn…and on and on…

In the 1970’s and 1980’s the Vet in Jackson was a great stadium and I had a lot of fun there. Saw many double headers with State and Ole Miss playing afternoon/night games or vice-versa. Jackson was a great city in those days. That said, games on campus today are much better overall with amenities, stadium comfort and the beauty of each campus. Plus access with better highways, hotels and restaurants etc. are much better in the present day.

In 1973, I saw a college/high school double header at the Vet. State/Ole Miss in the afternoon and that night the Capital Bowl featuring Meridian High against Jackson Murray High (Meridian won).

Also in 1979, Florida/State and USM/Ole Miss played a DH. These are in addition to the aforementioned DH’s.
As I said it was a lot of fun to see these games.

Legion Field was cool as well although the neighborhood was terrible.

Superdome is a fun venue as well!! Have seen a number of games there over the years and have never been disappointed.

He has played well and even here on Sunday he is still playing well.
Most likely he will finish in the top fifteen or possibly the top ten.
Quite a feat for his first time in that type of situation/atmosphere.

Quite honestly The Junction Boys beat Georgia 6-0 in Sanford Stadium in Athens in 1954. It was the only win of the season for A&M. That game trumps all other A&M & Georgia match ups and probably should count for 10 wins for the Aggies in their rivalry against Georgia.

State & Ole Miss are rivals but I do not dislike Ole Miss. When I was young I did but in my old age, I actually want both of our teams to win so that when we play each other, the game means more.
For example, I was pulling for Ole Miss to win in the recent Regionals and CWS.

Fred Smoot gotta be on this list.
Two of my favorite Smootisms:

70% of Earth is covered by water and the remaining 30% is covered by Smoot.
Told a Vandy WR that he would let him catch a pass if he would do his homework for him.

This is why Daniel Hill should have gone to State where he would be appreciated. Kid is a great RB but his OL at Bama last year was just not that good at run blocking.
He will absolutely be the man but it all starts upfront.

Coach Bianco is a CLASS ACT and has done nothing but win at Ole Miss for 25 years.
This coming from a State alum and fan. He has always been one of my favorites and he is a hell of a coach. He has earned the right to retire when HE decides to retire. Period.

Excellent work though I think a regular season championship should have some points included. That is a great accomplishment and those players will have rings forever. The postseason is such a crapshoot, there is no telling what might happen.
Notice I said Regular Season Championship and not a Conference Tournament Championship.
Baseball is the most competitive college sport of the major sports and IMHO that is what makes it fun and interesting.

If Coach Leach had lived then Will Rogers would have broken the passing record.
And possibly would have been so high that might have never been broken.
As it was he was still over 14 grand total between State & Washington.

Of course each year seven teams leave Omaha losing their last game.
7/8 of the field lose.
1/8 of them leave with a trophy.
So it is frustrating to get there and lose but there is an 87.5% percent chance that is going to happen.
