Today's ridiculous stat...

[thunderclap]

as the seniors were introduced, we started counting how many actually contributed. The tally was 6, and out of those 6, only 2 were recruited by Sly Croom. The other 4 were either walk-ons or transfers.

Two. Dixon and Jenkins. Five years of "effort" for two senior contributors. That makes Mullen's 5 wins with this schedule and lineup look a good bit better.

I guess the six are Dixon, Washington, Love, Burns, Jenkins, and Stallworth?

This must be the first time in decades we beat an Ole Miss team when we had a losing record?

weren't walk-ons or transfers

I read that wrong. I thought there were six contributors, not two. That's my list of six, and I left off Chaney (gift), Lee (walkon), McRae (transfer) and Ducre (refugee).

Washington debatable, though I guess he's played a helluva lot.
