RE: Bowen on radio...FB opponenents will be announced today
Educate me here. I started going to Tiger football games during the Spook Murphy era; I'm 53. In fact my first game was in a sold-out Memphis Memorial Stadium when the Tigers beat Old Miss and the great Johnny Vaught for the first time ever. Unforgettable night; I was hooked!

Anyway, my question relates to uniforms and specifically to the color of blue we sported in those days. By chance were we employing something closer to midnight blue, a la Chicago Bears blue, way back then? I seem to recall a few years in which our look was nearly identical to Auburn's.

No?

You are correct. More of a navy/midnight blue, white, and "Auburn orange" accents. Very little, possibly no gray.

No chit. You think WE have crime issues??? I would love to sit above the visitor's tunnel at the Liberty Bowl and shout me some Buster Poindexter smack at Rutgers; "Go back to New Jersey, ya' morons!"

8 conference games in 2013.

I missed a lot of the interview, but I'm pretty sure at the end of the inteview that he said he'd be back on with Lapides next month because there might be more movement.

If anyone else heard the entire interview please add more.

Did Lapides beg him to take the monthly Elvis Wednesday slot?

If he's smart, he'll take a regularly scheduled appearance. There is so much electronic media these days reporting rumor and innuendo, he would do well to have a regularly scheduled Q&A with someone in the media.

I fully expected that. Might as well let the remaining members benefit from playing 1 marquee opponent at home.

When are you going to give him the bad news that you have us going 0-12?

What happens if we by some miracle, went 6-2 or 7-1 in conference? Start looking for another coach?

Already did. In response to my prediction, he's planning on "adopting" a few football players to see if he can prove me wrong.

Yep. It would be a nice problem to have.
