I was there in Liberty Bowl Stadium to watch the 4-0 Bulldogs play the 0-3 Memphis State Tigers. We were ranked in the top 15 and had wins at Florida and at Houston, and our theme song became "Catch UsIfYou Can," a big song that year by The Dave Clark Five." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRQCN5x1-NI

A guy named Bob Sherlag, a WR for Memphis State, caught a multitude of passes for almost 200 years, and the Tigers whipped us 33-13. We lost the rest of the games that season, finishing 4-6. I was a freshman the next year 1966, and we won 6 games during the four years I was there, half of which were in 1969.

You would remember CONSTANT rain, throughout the game, Ole Miss taking a 14 pt lead. And then Bruce Threadgill led us back with 18 unanswered points. One touchdown being a run around left end for about 50 yards.

Pregame, UM cheerleaders or students stole the head off the bully uniform and threw it up in the stands.

After the game there were three boys on the MSU side, Slinging a rebel flag around in a circle, yelling for the first time in their 7, 7 and 10 year old lives....go to hell ole miss, go to hell.

Didn't think it could get any better than that at the time.

It didn't.
