My grandparents were there and my grandmother's favorite story about the game was about the Ole Miss fan who kept asking her, "where's your Billy Cannon?" all night. During the return, Grandma tapped her on the shoulder and said, "there he goes right there!"

Glad to know Ole Miss fans were d-bags even in the 50's

Priceless!

Similarly, In '11 we brought two hog fans down to TS. After going down 14-0, "Carol" asked me..."Where is that little honey badger??". The words were not out of her mouth when it happened!.
