You're much more likely to get a billion dollars.

There were several seasons under Reggie Collier and Brett Favre leadership that even the mighty SEC couldn't hang with the Golden Eagles on the football field.

yeah I was there in 82 and the talent on hand was amazing. I think 81 was arguably probably our best team ever but we have had so many really good teams it is hard to determine that. I do remember it being said at the time if USM was in the SEC it would at least be a middle of the pack school and possibly in the upper portion of the SEC. We won't ever know how we would do in the SEC because Ole Miss and Miss. State will be sure to see USM doesn't get in.

I'd have a team in the SEC to cheer for

I wish Southern and Memphis could stay in the same conference.

no school had beaten alabama and auburn in the same year for over 50 years until southern miss did it in the eighties, i cant remember the exact year. some one may have done it since then. southern miss will be ok

1990

we had the son of a billionaire play on our team last year and we still cant get in , so dont feel bad.

Interesting that Alabama has played USM more than any other OOC school at 42 games.
We try to forget they've won 35 of them.

that probably a better percentage than the other two schools in mississippi

Also, I thought I heard once that we're the only team to beat 'Bama in three different cities in Alabama... we've beat them in Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, and Montgomery (we also played them 3 times in Mobile, but lost all 3, in the 60s).

That was 90 Favres sr year. Curley hallman didn't come home with the team from auburn, he went to Birmingham to discuss the lsu job.

it was the only non sec team to do that since like 1904.

It almost happened in 82. we beat bama in bear bryants last home game and earlier that year had no time outs to set up what would have been a very makeable fg at auburn.

That's true about 3 different cities.

Looking at the record I don't get the 1993 and the 2005 games which Alabama won both on the field but forfieted the 93 game which counts as a win for Southern but vacated the 2005 game which counts as N/A.

MSU lost every single year from 1956 to 1993 except for 1980...a record of 1-37. Ole Miss's overall winning percentage is worse than MSU's, I believe.
