What do Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker, and Charlie Connerly all have in common?

They are the three people Wright Thompson mentioned in his SECCG bit on game day a few minutes ago when mentioning three past winners of the game.

Really Wright? Bo Jackson (good choice), Herschel Walker (good choice), and Charlie Conerly (awful choice). Does anyone outside of the state of Mississippi know who Charlie Conerly is?

Ask the New York Giants. Three NFL Championships. That's three more than Jackson and Walker combined.

 

[missouridawg]

Still doesn't change the fact that no one know who the 17 he is.

Thats the point. Nobody outside of Mississippi knows who Conerly and Wright Thompson used this opportunity to get thousands of people around the country to google his name and thus sell OM football. OM, just has so many more positive and helpful voices in the media than we do. I rears its head time and time again.

 

[Rebels7]

I respectfully disagree.

 

[missouridawg]

Yep...

this is the point that I was making.

Yeah, we came out smelling like a rose on Ghosts of Mississippi reminding the entire country of an ACTUAL riot that happened 50 years ago. Thanks Wright. Golly, the media just bends over backwards to help us. Yup.

Some of us inside Mississippi don't have a clue who Wright Thompson is.

it is what it is. it happened. thompson was trying to help ole miss. which is a good thing for him to do, no doubt. but it proves the other guys' points. ole miss has some supporters in strategic places. nothing wrong with that, i wish we had more. or at least more who were outspoken.

I'm pretty sure Wright must have meant something else, because none of those guys are past winners of the game. And yes, including Conerly with those guys is odd.
