Maybe he and Harvey Updike will share a cell.

Brando wannabe! Sorry.

You are exactly right. Les is the 5th winningest coach in SEC history (behind Neyland, Thomas, Wade, and Meyer and just ahead of saban and Bryant)and the vocal minority show their moronic foolishness evry week when we win by 7 and not 70.

Mullen will stay in Starkville as long as he wants. He is 3-1 against their biggest (by far) rival and the man can coach. Besides, no one at State with the authority to fire him will do it In fact, if people think he leaves State after another 8 OR 9 win year at a school in the SECW that is historically a dormat, they are probably on some bad drugs, at best. He is one of the best coaches around and it's been many moons since MSU has gone to three straight (reputable) bowl games; maybe never, but he will stay as long as he wants. People in the know at MSU will tell you that he is serious about his relationship with the Lord compared to 4-years ago when every other word out of his mouth was mf of gd. They guy is one of the best young college coaches/teachers in the game today.

You are probably right. Had a board member tell me when I was in my early 20's that Mac would go to Arkansas on a hunting trip but would not go to New Orleans to visit some of the greatest (White and Black)players in that city. True story.

The Bear wasn't Mac's problem in the 1960's. Vaught was. from 1962-1969 LSU was favored in 7 of the 8 games played. Ole Mis won 6, lost 1 and the teams tied 13-13 in 1967 when Eddie Ray from Vicksburg missed a 4th quarter extra point.

People who criticize the LSU Tiger football program from 2000-2012 either have a terrible memory or they missed their dosage of Prozac. remember curley-ball, Archer, Dinardo (when the 10-2 Peach Bowl win over Clemson was a 'lSU is back moment'). The man has coached 105 games and he has won 85 of them. Please, please go away or become a Tulane fan where you may obtain some relevance.

Tim Ellis and Bobby garner was Ole Miss's QB. This was a year before Fourcade. Remember, Ole Miss lost this game when Tim Ellis was running wide open down the sideline with no one in persuit and for some reason stepped out of bound forcing a FG which they missed just before halftime.

Cholly Mac thought he had a deal worked out with the Cotton Bowl, so he turned down a deal with the Sugar. He never followed up with the Cotton Bowl during the latter part of the '69 season and after the Tulane game he contacted the Cotton reps and was informed that ND would be playing Texas after a 25-year bowl ban. Mac then tried to get deal with the Sugar, but they had already committed to Ole Miss. As a last resort the Liberty Bowl contacted LSU to play Colorado , but the team voted not to play because they felt they deserved a more prestigous bowl (...and they were right).

This game belongs on Halloween. It's tradition, man.
