He has on a hat just like the one my grandson gave me. I thought it was an orginal. Ha, Ha.

The black looks better than the Nike blue. Since nobody here thinks tradition matters anyway, how about changing the colors to BLACK and gray?

GA, I actually agree with you on the school colors. However, it seems to be a losing battle.

Me too! Lets go back to the Ole Miss colors of the Spook era !

Those 1969 Memphis State uniforms were more like Auburn's with the orange stripe on the shoulders and down the middle of the helmet.

I loved those uniforms. Still do.



1969 Memphis State captains (L to R): Ray Jamieson, Tom Talbot, David Berrong, Rick Thurow

They would have been fine except for the reddish orange. That was a very good team in 1969 (my senior year) - finished 8-2 and played strong at the end of the season. Naturally, Bud Dudley's Liberty Bowl avoided us like the plague.

I thought this was about Leron.

Who did we beat in 69? Quantico Marine and West Texas State?


Edit: not a bad schedule that year. That was the year Spook ran it up on Corso. It backfired the next 3 years when the Cards kicked our butts
