Neb Hayden? :shock:

I know, but didn't know 'til recently. 'Course, I was in Taiwan with the USAF when you folks would have first heard of ol' Neb.

Tell him what he wins, Johnny!



A brand, new caaaaaaar!

In the special SI edition on the 75th Anniversary of SEC football, it tells of the Archie Manning-Scott Hunter shootout in '69. Then, it tells how Ole Miss got revenge in '70. Archie was hobbled, but Scott was sidelined. Hayden started and Ole Miss won, 48-23. That was on October 3, 1970, my (and my wife's ) 5th wedding anniversary. I was just a month before rotating back stateside from Taiwan.
