Ugh- older Dawgs- this is the 30th anniversary of the John Fourcade Egg Bowl

[Coach34]

I hope Dick Pace's cheating *** is rotting in Hell. Bear WR climbs over the back of our CB intercepting the ball and it's interference on us- 17 you Dick Pace<div>
</div><div>and Fourcade shaking the ball at me and the rest of us after he scored- I'll bump into you one day mf'er</div><div>
</div><div>I learned what it felt like to want to murder someone that day</div>

Before they scored, we had the ball on their end of the field with about a minute left. We kicked a field goal on 3rd down, without running down the clock, which left Ole Miss time to score. We kicked a piss poor squib kickoff that they returned to about the 40. Forcade threw a 20 yard pass to get to our 40, and then threw a hail mary that Dickhead pace called interference.

Supposedly, Bob Tyler would have been name their coach if they lost that day, as they would have an excuse to fire Sloan.

That was my 1st Egg Bowl. I remember the PI call/play as you do. Just a ridiculous call. We won that day as far I'm concerned.

I will never forget that game and that call. It was a complete rip....no fifteen yd penalties in those days. Bears got it on the one and Fourcade sneaks it in. Total jerk.

Tom still applies ice to this day

Ahhh, now that is better. The 1st Egg back on campus. Also, I remember William Prince trucked a Reb DB for a TD. I recall that game being more lopsided than the score suggest. Fun game and after parties.

 

[Mutt the Hoople.buhoops]

Had Larry Weems, current Head Coach at Meridian High tell me that....he was an assistant on that Ole Miss team.<div>
</div><div>As much as we like to slam Dick "Hotty Toddy" Pace, I blame Emory Bellard as much for that loss as anybody. He didn't have the team ready to play, Ole Miss was the most fired-up they've been all year, and he lost his nerve by kicking on 3rd down with more than :30 left in the game. I was wanting to make Emory a memory about 2 years before everybody else did.</div>

If anybody bitches about red zone scoring look no further than the 1992 Egg Bowl. That is where my hatred truly started to percolate. The 1997 Egg Bowl was the absolute pinnacle of hatred and loathe. If I saw TT in a grocery store sampling Golden Flake potato chips and he said I'll think I'll go for two it might end up in Dexter fashion.

 

[AceLeroy]

Never left a game that pissed since.

 

[Indndawg]

it hurt me

 

[Rezpup]

He also made All-Pro as a db/kr for the Falcons and had a super pro career. My point is that All-American type players deserve better than that. Johnson said in an interview on Jackson radio about ten years ago that that interference call was the worst play he was ever associated with in football. I still count that egg bowl as a victory to this day.

 

[o_fredgarvin]

No

 

[prairiedawg]

with his home phone number in the caption. At least that's the way I remember it so that is totally suspect.

 

[dawgoneyall]

I think that was Pace's last game to call.

 

[Mutt the Hoople.buhoops]

It was the first game back on campus since 1971, and the place was wild. The (then) Rebels had won three Egg Bowls in a row, and could become bowl-eligible with a win that day, while The Mississippi State University was in line to go to its first bowl in 10 years. <div>
</div><div>The second play of the game, when Keo Coleman destroy Tommy Luke, got the Scott Field crowd roaring. Those were fun times.</div>

 

[Dawgpile]

I can still see Fourcade prancing around the right end to score.

 

[tupelodawg]

...and that was one day I knew I could take another human life. 17 Fourcade.
