By far the best was in 1972 at the Ole Miss game. I was just a kid then, and we sat in the southeast corner upper deck, just above the visitors' section.

After Bert Jones threw the TD pass on the final play to pull out a 17-16 win, we walked down to the fence to look down at the Ole Miss fans. Just below us was a guy who was bawling his eyes out, sobbing "I can't believe it" and other such things. He had two or three friends around him trying to console him, and it took them several minutes to get him calmed down. Just when he had regained his composure, I looked up at my father and asked...

"Can I tell him 'Go to Hell Ole Miss'?"

My dad said "yes, you sure can!"

I did, and the guy totally lost it again, sobbing and crying like a baby. My dad and I laughed our asses off at him.

I know they're not much of a rival to us any more, since they fell off the map a few decades ago, but I still hate them with every fiber of my being. There's no doubt where I got it.

To many to list.

My Dad helped run a concession stand in Tiger Stadium from 68-the mid 70's. Me and my buddy would always go and only had to help fill cups at half time. They would usually sell out before the end of the game so we would usually catch the end of the game from the field after counting the money.

We were standing in the south end zone for Jones to Davis in 1972.

He later got season tickets and we were there sitting together for Hodson to Fuller in 88.

All that but the best might have been when he took me to most of the Basketball games during the Maravich era. we stayed late more than once to meet Pete and get his autograph.

Some years later I attempted to repay him by booking a trip for him, myslef and my brother to Vegas to see Shaq and the Tigers take on UNLV.

Great times
Thanks Dad
