State. We’re in the stands and we’re killing them. I want to let them off the hook and leave but State finally mounted a drive. They all wanted to stay and we pick off a pass and go like 80 for a TD. They were all ready to go after that.

Need help with the year and who made the pick please

RIP my Cousin/ little bro.

It was 1988 and Greg Jackson. I was 12 and remember it like it was yesterday. 100 yard INT return for a TD.

A legitimate football stud. He was dominant.

Funny how I remember those games as a student more than now. RIP and good to hear you have your priorities straight.

At least in style.

I was at that game. I remember because the kick off time was changed and we missed the entire first quarter. It was a pretty dull game up until the pick.

It was in Starkville.

No. His cousin passed away, he wants to tell an anecdote about the game in the eulogy, and he needed some details.

As a jumping off point, you could crib from a short article by David Brooks called Eulogy Versus Resume Virtues. I heard another person in your situation reference it and always thought if I have to deliver a eulogy I would do the same. Sorry for your loss.

Greg Jackson is the Giants player who tackled Emmitt Smith separating his shoulder in the epic performance.

Just a little worthless knowledge moment

It looks like you have your answer. I will add that the TD covered the spread … putting a few bucks in the pocket of at least one LSU freshman.
