OM/LSU Rivalry Bedtime Stories Final Part

Posted by Vamp on 11/20/15 at 5:09 pm
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 [favorit...
I did the coin flip for the Ga game in '06 but never for Ole Miss/LSU games. It cost to have that honor and as much as I love the Ole Miss/LSU games, I'm not willing to pay the price [would probably cost over $3000 for Bama and LSU games]. I too would love it if the SEC and NC championships were ...
Part 10: Both Ole Miss and LSU finish off the '62 season with wins in the Sugar and Cotton Bowls and '63 looked like the same ole same ole heading in with both teams loaded and headed for another Halloween showdown for a possible NC going to the winner. But LSU's team was surprisingly off a...

OM/LSU Rivalry Bedtime Stories- Part 9

Posted by Vamp on 11/20/15 at 10:09 am
Part 9: I have in my home quite a collection of Ole Miss memorabilia. One of my treasured items is an Oct 12, 1962 coply of Time Magazine- probably the #1 magazine of it's day. A major article in that magazine described the nightmarish war between 2,000 Federal Marshalls and over 2,000 studen...

Remember the "Chinese Bandits"?

Posted by Vamp on 11/20/15 at 12:05 am
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE STORY OF THE LSU CHINESE BANDITS Back in 1958, Paul Dietzel who was coach then had a problem. He had a lot of talent, especially in the backfield. Back then, substitution rules were very different. There was a...

8b- Recruiting Battles If Ole Miss had become QB U, then LSU had become RB U. Stovall would follow in Jimmy Taylor and Billy Cannon's footsteps in earning AA honors and continue to be a major problem for Vaught's always hard nose d NC caliber defenses in the f uture. You may disagree but i...

OM/LSU Rivalry Bedtime Stories- Part 8a

Posted by Vamp on 11/19/15 at 9:27 pm
Part 8a: Last time I listed the QB's Vaught had found which had earned Ole Miss the reputation of being QB U. But there was one I left out from that '59 team who was probably good enough to start for most SEC teams that year but was 4th team on that Ole Miss squad. This was one of the all tim...

OM/LSU Rivalry Bedtime Stories- Part 7

Posted by Vamp on 11/18/15 at 8:47 pm
Part 7: Part 6 ended with a 21-0 Sugar Bowl victory over #3 LSU in the only bowl matchup between these ancien t rivals in history. I know it was the 1st ever rematch up till that time and I don't know of but a few since. Before we move on to the '60 game, a little more background would be he...
No it was 3 plays in either 8 or 10 seconds. You're getting way ahead of me. That was '72....

Ole Miss/LSU Rivalry Bedtime Stories- Part 6

Posted by Vamp on 11/17/15 at 9:22 pm
Part 6: Part 5 ended with LSU's Dietzel finally beating Vaught in 1958 14-0 on two exciting goal line stands. This was the 1st game between Ole Miss and LSU inwhich the winner could very likely go on to win a NC. It would happen again in '59 and '61. Ole Miss would also have a NC on the line ...
I will. I love this stuff. And don't worry about the less than friendly responses I'm getting. There are tons of Ole Miss fans who wouldn't give any LSU fan visitor the time of day. Doesn't bother me in the least- just part of it. But I'll bet they are enjoying it....

Ole Miss/LSU Rivalry Bedtime Stories- Part 5

Posted by Vamp on 11/16/15 at 10:46 pm
Part 5: Before we continue the story line, I'd like to clear up something. If I left anyone with the impression that LSU was the only team that would not play the Rebs in Oxford, that was certainly not the case. There was the general notion amongst most SEC schools that Ole Miss was hopelessl...
For I59. Anybody want more?...

Ole Miss/LSU Rivalry Bedtime Stories- Part 3

Posted by Vamp on 11/16/15 at 11:27 am
Part 3: We pick up the story as Y.A. Tittle lost the game and his pants to Ole Miss in the '47 game. Ole Miss would go on to win Vaught's and our 1st ever SEC title. The league had been formed in 1933 and LSU had already won 2 in '35 and '36 under Moore. Another game of note during that ye...

Posted by Vamp on 11/16/15 at 11:23 am
Part 4: Part 3 ended with Gus Tinsley's firing after a very uncharacteristic 7 year, less than average run at LSU. Vaught's Top 10 teams had begun to slaughter him and ole Gus was gone after the '54 season. Paul Dietzel, a tall, blonde offensive line coach from Army was hired as LSU's next...
