Remember Jackson Mississippi games?

When Bama would play State in the morning and we would play Ole Miss later in the day?
I remember going to it one year and they had painted stars in the corner of the end-zones with each team's colors represented.
Wonder how in the world that worked logistically, and if it could still be done?

Saw them play to 21-21 tie in the early 80's. Fla and MSU played first. Remember a big crowd and a lot of different colors. I was there with my rebel gf in the UM student section. Had a big timne.

I remember my Dad taking us to see Mississippi State play LSU in Jackson as a kid. It was freezing rain and it made our whole family sick. LSU, I think won like 7-6. It had to be close to 40 years ago, but I still remember the cold and my father s disappointment that State got beat again.

Do any of you remember the 1987 game against Ole Miss in Jackson? Some guy fell out of the stands at the end of the game. An ambulance was sent and much of the crowd waited around to see him taken away.

I was at the '87 game. My first LSU game ever at 11 years old. Didn't the guy fall out of the stands trying to catch one of the mini footballs the cheerleaders were throwing into the stands after the game?
It had to be at least 60-70% LSU crowd in a packed house. The extended family in front of us were pulling beer cans out of tied up coat sleeves they carried under their arms into the stadium and JD bottles in the purses. I remember a huge rebel flag going up in flames 10 rows behind me in the stands. That was a great beatdown after letting them get us the year before.

Was there in 82 I believe.Forcade was the Ole Miss QB.We were getting beat 24-7 early in the 4th quarter.Sitting on the rebel side.We scored to make it 24-14 and three LSU fans strated chanting eat shite ole miss eat shite.This 4 foot 6 inch tall woman(rebel fan) weighing 90 pounds soaking wet didn't like it but said nothing.Then we scored again 24-21 and the three started again and the woman screamed at them to shut up.Yes it gets better.We scored again to go ahead 28-24 and more of the same.The woman went nuts.Well,Forcade drives ole miss to the LSU 9 yard line,then threw an INT. with 20 seconds to go.The three amigos got louder and the woman knocked the shite out of one of the guys.A story I have told to many.One of the fondest memories I have as a Tiger fan.

I was at that game. What ever happened to that idiot? I remember a guy put on an LSU went over to the Ole Miss student section abd started taunting the crowd who promptly showed him with berr and whisket bottles. bottles were flying everywhere the whole game. I remember the game being cold, and the party after the game, the hot chick .....no clue who won

Those were always awesome games. When MSU or Ole Miss played each other or USM, the stadium would be split right down the north endzone 50%/50%, and was always packed. It holds 60,000. The doubleheaders were great as well.

Jeff, is that cheerleader in your profile related to you by chance?

Yep. Double headers. I remember listening on the radio the night that Gov Ross Barnett addressed the crowd at halftime telling them the Supreme Court had erred and it would continue to be "segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever" while the fans went wild. Things have changed in 50 years huh?

Wow, I work right across the street from that stadium. Never knew it had such history to it

That 87 game was an LSU Home game in Jackson. Over half the stadium was LSU fans. LSU fans even hired a skywriter to pain LSU over and over in the sky that day.

Sadly, Jackson for the Ole Miss and State games every year and B'Ham for the Bama game was the only SEC games the AD would send TGBFTL to. They wouldn't send us to any SEC campus. We didn't have the traveling mini-band thing back then. They did send us to Houston for the Rice game one year and an incredibly long and wasteful epic journey to South Bend Indiana for the Notre Dame game in 1980......
