Part 11:
It's time for Vamp's favorite games in the rivalry and then I'll list what I'd
imagine would be LSU's.
My favorites:
[ 1 ] No doubt, the 21-0 1960 Sugar Bowl [favorite moment- the 43 yard TD pass
by Gibbs just before half that put us up 14].
[ 2 ] The 15-7 win at BR in 1962 [favorite moment- Griffing hits Louis Guy for
2nd TD and clincher].
[ 3 ] The 1938 20-7 win at BR over an LSU national powerhouse program which had
won 11 straight against the Rebs [favorite moment, not that I was there- AA
Parker Hall's 3rd quarter 50 yard punt return that would put the Rebs up 14].
[ 4 ] The 1968 27-24 win at BR [favorite moment when Archie hit Steve Hindman on
a swing pass for the winning TD right in front of the student section].
[ 5 ] The 1969 26-23 win in Jackson when Archie threw for 3 TD's, ran for
another and a 2 point converson as Ole Miss defeats undef eated and #4 LSU
[favorite moment when the Sug ar Bowl Committee chose our 3 loss team over LSU's
1 loss team to play #2 Ark in the Sugar Bowl because of that win].
[ 6 ] The 1986 21-19 win over highly ranked LSU at BR [favorite moment when
Tiger PK David Browndyke missed a 30 yard FG with 9 seconds left].
[ 7 ] The 2001 35-24 win in BR {favorite moment when Eli threw the 2nd of 2 TD
passes in the 4th qtr to seal the deal].
[ 8 ] The 1975 17-13 win [favorite moment when Ken Cooper calls the same illegal
{pick} pass play to beat LSU in the 4th qtr that Cholly Mac had used to beat us
in the '72 4 second game].
[ 9 ] The '92 32-0 rout [favorite moment- the entire game].
[ 10 ] The '99 42-23 win at BR [favorite moments when the Deuce ran wild].
Many more on the Honorable Mention list including one of my personal favorites
when our "monster", Hugh "Fatty" White led us to victory and the claim to have
won the 19th century against LSU in Meredian in 1899, all the whoopings Vaught
put on LSU in his earlier career and especially the one in '47 when Tittle lost
his pants and any victory Billy "Dog Brewer" won against LSU during his time
that went a long way toward re-establishing our old rivalry. His 1st year as Reb
HC he beat LSU 27-24 and the games became very competitive again after the Sloan
fiasco.

LSU favorites?
[ 1 ] 1959 game- most famous football game ever played in the South [no
contest].
[ 2 ] 1958 game- beating a perrenial top 10 Ole Miss program 14-0 gave LSU
enough votes to win it's 1st NC.
[ 3 ] 1970 game- the 61-17 pounding went a long way towards easing the pain when
we spoiled LSU's '69 NC hopes.
[ 4 ] 1961 game- Dietzel upsets #1 ranked Ole Miss at BR.
[ 5 ] 1972 game- Tigers run 4 plays in last 10 seconds of the game. Bert Jones
drops back, sets and gets off 2 passes into the endzone in "4 seconds" to beat
Ole Miss after the buzz er [Miss people errected two large signs on the Miss side
of the river bridges at Vicksburg and Natchez which read "You are now entering
Louisiana, set your clocks back 4 seconds". The signs remained up for years and
years. I'm still mildly mad.
[ 6 ] 1973 game- 51-14 was the 1st big victory LSU ever scored with Vaught
present on our sidlines.
[ 7 ] 2003 game- 17-14 win after walking into a hornet's nest. This win over #15
Ole Miss got the Tigers enough BCS points to play Okla for all the marbles.
[ 8 ] 2000 game- 20-9 win was Saban's 1st and best win ever againt Ole Miss at
Oxford or anywhere.
[ 9 ] 1896 game- 12-4 win at Vicksburg would give LSU their 1st perfect 6-0
season and 1st ever conference championship [Southern Intercollegiate Athletic
Association].
[ 10 ] 1964 game- 11-10 win over Ole Miss in BR earning the Tigers another Sugar
Bowl invitation on a fluke tipped pass for a TD caught by Doug Morea u late in
the game.

There are also many more I'd imagine LSU fans would give Honorable Mention
status. I'll bet any wins over La. born and cocky John Fourcade would be there
and any of the extreme whoopings they put on us during the mid-late '70's and
early '80's. That 40-7 stomping they laid on us last year was the 1st blowout
win by LSU against us in about a qtr century.

To the young Rebs out there, you have a tremendous football tradition at Ole
Miss that not many schools can equal. I left out the great Archie years which in
some ways were the most exciting games agaist LSU and all the great rivalry
battles with Bama, State, Tenn, and Ark.
To the Tigers out there, you've had one of the top football programs in the
nation and you have so much to be proud of. I'll leave you with the usual:
GO TO HELL LSU GO TO HELL and thanks for the memories-
