To hell with Cougar and Springsteen. Both of their music got worse as they went on. I really like "Ain't Even Done With The Night" by Commie Cougar but that's it. I don't like any of Springsteen's raspy shite. Cougar is also an odd built dude. He tiny as hell, like 5'6 or 5'7 and has a huge whopper noggin. As someone posted, thinking he's some voice of the American farmer acting like he does towards are nation is a downright disgrace.

ETA: I think Cougar has morphed into the Leader over the years.

Met Coach O in a hotel lobby when he was at Ole Miss. We talked for a good 10 or so minutes, and I barely understood a word he said. Very personable and likable dude though. Seem to generally be interested in what I was saying.

Held the door open for Sylvester Croom one time. Spoke to him, and he walked right on in and didn't say a word. No thank you, how you doing, nothing. This was the summer of 08 when he was coming off his only winning year. We started off with a loss at La Tech and a few weeks later was the infamous 3-2 Auburn game which I had tickets to and didn't attend thankfully. The season was a disaster, and I decided to go on strike against Croom and not go to any games for the first time in like 10 years. Of course, he was fired after the year. He was a bad coach, and my interaction with him made me think worse of him. I'd always take up for him to fans who were bashing him. I mean, he could've spoken or said thank you, especially after I clearly spoke to him while holding the door open. Had Mississippi State gear on also. You'd always hear these stories about how great a guy he was, etc. I know several players and recruits who said he was an a-hole and couldn't stand him. I got the same air from him from our brief encounter.

As many stated on here I also met and heard Coach Stallings at a FCA event. I hate everything Alabama, but Coach Stallings was a class act. Super nice and talked to everyone like he was their long lost best friend. Like someone else said I'd have ran through a wall for him after meeting him.

ETA: not a SEC coach, but met Paul Johnson when he was at Tech. One of the coolest dudes I've ever met. Very funny and dry.

No the hell you don't you pos liar.

Ho doesn’t look like that anymore.

Yeah, it's not 1983 anymore. Dude is 66.

The 49ers did beat the Saints 35-14 on MNF in NOLA that season; however, that Sanderd INT for a TD was earlier in the season, a Sunday afternoon game at Candlestick. I remember because my pops and I were listening to the game in the truck on our way back from the camp.

Correct. If I recall correctly Deion did have a pick in the MNF game and returned it a good ways, but it was not for a TD. Maybe that's what the OP is think of.

Maybe not made him famous, because he was forgotten pretty quick after the fact, but one performance that might've ruined a career was rookie RB Timmy Smith's 204 yard performance in the 1987 Super Bowl in his first start ever for the Redskins. His agent demanded a new contract the next offseason, and the Skins told him to kick rocks. Smith held out, then showed up 25 pounds overweight. He ended up rushing for only 470 yards the entire 1988 season, lost his starting job, and was let go the next season.

Perhaps, but remember there is a severe case of grade inflation and dumbing down of standardized tests over the last several decades. It wasn't even possible to get over a 4.0 when I graduated high school, and a 4.0 was very uncommon.

^This. Making a 31-34 on the ACT now is like making a 24-28 20 years ago. They have all these classes and workshops in schools now that pretty much teach you how to "cheat" the ACT by choosing answer patterns. If someone made a 30+ when I was in school it was a big freaking deal. It didn't matter where it happened. Kids sure as hell didn't get "smarter" all of a sudden.

The last time Ole Miss tied was against Auburn in 1973. It was a 7-7 tie against Auburn.

That is wrong. You must not remember the 80's well, because it seemed Ole Miss had a tie game about every year. 1981 the aforementioned LSU 27-27 game on Halloween in Jackson. 1984, 14-14 vs Arkansas in Little Rock. 1985, 17-17 season opener at Memphis Stats, and 1986, 10-10 bs Arkansas State in Oxford. I remember when I was at State we tied Arky State in 93 on Homecoming. I think it was 15-15. Again, thank God I didn't go. The next year we beat the tee total hell out of them. I think it was 49-3. Never went to a tie game. Went to the 91, Ole Miss vs LSU game in Jackson which LSU won 25-22. Ole Miss blew a 14-3 halftime lead and had the ball around their own 40 late in the game. We all thought we might see a tie, but the Rebs were stopped on downs.
