re: Cannon's run question...

I was a boy scout usher in the south end zone. After the Cannon run, Ole Miss had first and goal from the 4 yard line. The white team was put in and Cannon and Johnny Robinson both were on the 3rd and 4th down tackles on Jake Gibbs that stopped Ole Miss. Those are the facts. Had the Rebels scored, the loss and the 89 yard run would have diminished the lore that remains today. It did not rain during the game, but the field was wet and the night was humid.

I may stand corrected regarding heavy rain during the 1959 LSU-Ole Miss game. Memory: I used to come up to Baton Rouge from LSU medical school in New Orleans then and, of course sit in the student section. Perhaps the heavy rain was at another game that season. You know, offical weather records can be checked to be sure.
LSU was known, on occasion, to water the field all night before a game if they thought it would help them slow down the other team the next day. See reports of LSU - North Carolina game 1949 I think. North Carolina complained to NCAA. LSU upset them 13 to 7. History sometimes is 'his' story. That, is very individually perceived, although some parts of it can be verified.
