Ole Miss Favored...not since 1969?

I'm one of those older Alums that has been watching this rivalry dating back to the late 60's. I can't recall Ole Miss EVER being favored over LSU since the Archie Manning era...1969. Then in 1970, Archie's Rebel army came marching into Death Valley with a broken non throwing arm. Coach Mac had our Tigers all lathered up in what was supposed to be a highly contested matchup with LSU needing to redeem themselves from the previous year's loss. Tommy Casanova and team put on the most complete butt whooping winning 61-17.
Let's relive history this Saturday night!!!

I was thinking the same thing...when was the last time they came to our place and were the favorites.?

I hate Ole Miss. Always have, always will.

If I am not mistaken they came in as a favorite in 1999.

We were.. We also lost the next (last) game at Arkansas (this is the ONLY time Les has lost two games in a row as LSU coach). But a month later, we embarrassed Ga. Tech in the Chicken bowl.

No way Ole Miss was favored in that game. LSU only had 3 losses at the time, and had just lost in overtime to #1 ranked Bama the week before. We remember the overall record, but LSU lost to future national champion Florida, a loaded UGA team, a Bama team that finished the regular season undefeated...
and then we tanked the last two games of the year.

and 4-point dogs in '99

True Metry, I was at the Dempsey kick but not OM, recall watching it as a 9th grader with my dad that night at home with aunt and uncle who were slight Arch/OM fans and dad having a good ole time rubbing in them and they finally left before end game a bit upset! 
Fast forward, Bo will not come in with a arm cast but will be looking for blood; Tigs Must generate some type rush to slow down. If so, we will have a very good chance with this one!

He had an int and 2 returns for TD IIRC but some other guy whose name escapes me also had 3 INTs.....it was a bad day for Manning!

You might be talking about Andy Hamilton. I think Chris Dantin had a 55 yard TD run also and Craig Burns returned another punt for a TD.
Paul Lyons returned a Shug Chumbler INT all the way to the OM 5 yard line as time expired but actually got stopped from scoring by the throngs of people already on the field to celebrate- otherwise the final score would have been 68-17.

Actually it was Craig Burns, I meant 3 INTs, not TDs. I found this:
Here is what they said about TC in the same article:
quote:
Tommy Casanova was the talk of the Tigers’ squad in 1970, but Burns had the game of his life in that 61-17 win over the Rebels. He picked off three passes and also returned a punt 61 yards for a touchdown. His three picks in one game is still tied for an LSU school record with six other former Tigers. As for Casanova, he also returned a pair of punts for touchdowns.
Here is what they said about TC in the same article:
quote:
In what the three-time All-American called the game of his life, Casanova returned two punts for touchdowns – one for 61 yards and another for 76 – in that lopsided 61-17 win over Archie Manning and the Rebels. He also picked off a pass and helped the Tigers amass 306 return yards in a game that some consider the most dominating win by LSU over the last 45 years.

What about 1999? Things were pretty bad that year.

What about 1990? We weren't any good and they were ranked, I believe 17th.
