Clearly, he hates still MSU and will continue to tear down the program at any opportunity.

It's on the historically significant Mississippi State basketball teams of the late 1950s and early 1960s. In the era of Kentucky and Adolph Rupp's dominance, State won SEC titles in 1959, 1961, 1962 and 1963. But because of Mississippi's "unwritten law" that prohibited competition against integrated teams, State turned down NCAA tournament bids. Well, until 1963, when a courageous university president sent them in spite of a court order demanding otherwise. The story builds to that moment, of course, but encompasses the whole era -- and the team's colorful coach, Babe McCarthy.

Now, if I could just come up with a way to boil that down to a title, I'd be good. :)

Thanks for your interest.
