re: rare 1969 footage @UK,@Ole Miss, Miss St

That's awesome. I was two days old when we beat Alabama that year. That game has always been on or around my birthday. Growing up in the 70s, my paw-paw was inexplicably a huge Bear/Bama fan and he would always come to our house on Sunday morning after our loss to them and say the same thing: "How bout dat Bear!" Needless to say, I never liked him much.

Why did some teams in the SEC play 5, 6 or 7 conference games that year? It's very odd. Was that the year we turned down the bowl bid because the Cotton or someone picked Notre Dame over us?
