The best sound at old Alex Box came from the boom boxes the left-field lunatics brought. The used to play the 1959 Billy Cannon punt return at Ole Miss baseball coach Jake Gibbs (the punter that historic night) when Gibbs went out to make a pitching change.


Nice.

I was in the stands for that wkend, the first time it happened. Gibbs's face got redder & redder with each step he took. Just as Cannon scored, the whole left field bleachers screamed out" He SCORES." The crowd had gotten real quiet, so the recording could be heard clearly. My highschool basketball coach, JV, was the last Reb who wiffed on Cannon, and he said that Gibbs had nightmares for yrs later. So, the fans were just pouring gas onto the fires with that recording.
