re: Disputed 1972 Ole Miss game

Memo: For All Who Can Handle Trading Out Typical LSU FAN bullshite Mindset As Biased Lazy Disinterested Dunderhead... For That RARE Adult Football Confidence, Fair-minded & Coherent.

LSU vs. Ole Miss(1972): HERE IS THE TRUTH & REAL DEAL OF WHAT HAPPENED (EVEN LSU QB FESSED UP & ADMITTED THE OBVIOUS ABSURDITY BELOW)!

1.) "We Ran 2 Plays, In I Think 4 Seconds. It Could Be Done- Whether Or Not It Was Done Legally Or Not, Uh, Will Always Remain A Question. But The Fact Stands We Ran 2 Plays..."

2.) “RUNNING THE CLOCK: HARD OR EASY?”

There was a great deal of discussion on the “Sports Animal” this p.m. about controversy with the clock late in the game throughout recorded history. It was a reasoned and rational discussion, nothing like what passes for intelligent debate and commentary in the mornings. The oh-so-fake dialogue between Mickey and Heather is getting tiresome.
The greatest last second timing controversy, just to be fair about it, happened Nov. 4, 1972, at LSU.
LSU ran 2 pass plays in the final 4 seconds against Ole Miss to win 17-16, causing a sign to be erected on the Mississippi side of the Mississippi-Louisiana border for more than a few years that read: “You are now entering Louisiana. Please set your watch back 4 seconds.”
No one on either side has forgotten that night. No official strode to the center of the field and said those magic words; “The previous play is under review.” There were no SEC observers huddled around a bank of monitors trying to discern what actually happened. No apology was forthcoming to the Ole Miss folks after the game.
The 1973 Ole Miss football guide, in its game summary section, lists the game score as “Mississippi 16, LSU 10 + 7.”
It was a great moment, long before replay was even thought about. The game was also not televised. There were no chat boards, so all Ole Miss fans could do was talk about the call over breakfast at the local diner or fire off letters to the majors news media in the state.
Imagine that, a time an SEC game, between two old rivals, was not on somebody’s television.
There wasn’t even a “red hat” on the field to monitor the pace of the game and insert commercials where appropriate.
John Ferguson did, however, do an excellent job with the radio play-by-play on WWL in New Orleans.
It does seem so long ago.
