I actually remember uniforms of that color scheme. Not sure we're a relevant target audience anymore.
 
Cool story, bro.

Hi, beating a team thirty years ago that only started being serious about football this year doesn't mean you beat a serious football school.

We lost to them 27-18, though it was later forfeited. HTH.
 
I just saw that cover and it brought back memories. It seemed "exotic" to be playing a team from that far away, to my 6-year old mind.

It still feels exotic when your team gets to play teams that they rarely, if ever, get the chance to play.
 
Emory Bellard was the coach. He was the father of the wishbone as an assistant to Darrell Royal.
 
Miss St. is going to vanish as quickly as they appeared. They won't make the playoffs. I'll bet the $20 Amazon card on it.

First off, you don't have a $20 Amazon card. Second, you're absolutely correct. Mullen will be back at Florida next year.

Mississippi + Cheating = forfeit?

any word on whether their fans had to surrender their memories of that season?

Two years earlier I was jacked for them playing Alabama (more exotic). Dropped a turd in Tuscaloosa 0-52.

I suspect you Huskies would like to surrender your memories of quite a few games these last years. There are a couple I'd gladly surrender.

Comprehending the word "exotic" at age 6 can only occur if you have 2 dads.
