RCR History Lesson: LSU 1992

718895_medium

One of the great things about Billy Brewer was that he was able to keep it good and respectable against LSU.  The Bengals took seven against Brewer in his tenure, but he beat them a couple of times.  And one time, he beat them like the tacky nutria fur rugs they keep in their swamp-boat-houses.  Your history lesson is after the jump.

Star-divide

1992 was another season that would have been a lot better if we could forget half of it.  The first seven games included beatdowns at the hands of Georgia, Alabama, and - shudder - Vanderbilt.  The Rebels marked their first conference win over Arkansas in Little Rock 17-3, but the wind was not in their sails after a 10-31 setback to Alabama in Tuscaloosa.  The final four games of the season, however, would be played in Mississippi, and Coach Brewer's five-game season-ending win streak would begin like it ought to still - on Halloween night against LSU>

Mississippi Memorial Stadium played host to the old rivals, and the Rebel defense dominated all night.  After a field goal and Russ Shows five-yard touchdown run, the Rebels led 10-0.  Lynn Ross forced an LSU turnover that led to a 41-yard touchdown pass.  The final score was 32-0.  

Ole Miss beat Memphis State and Louisiana Tech after that, setting up a season-ending showdown with Mississippi State.  After a 1991 Egg Bowl victory, Jackie Sherrill infamously predicted that State would never lose to Ole Miss again while he was head coach in Starkville.  That prediction proved immediately ill-advised.  Ole Miss won 17-10 and would win three of the next four.

Ivory, think your post have gotten much better as of late

and i’m in full agreement that this game is meant to be played on Halloween weekend. Come on Rebels! Beat the Hell out of ’em (a tall order, i know, since it is LSU).

"Ole Miss won 17-10 and would win three of the next four."

That 17-10 Egg Bowl deserves its own column. “The Stand” was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen in a football game.

Eventhough I was in Oxford that day...

…I was in front of the tube watching it (with Dave Kellum calling it on the radio), as I had been stricken with a violent kidney stone. I have not experienced such pain BEFORE OR SINCE. The intensity of the pain when that stone would move built to such a ferocity that the only relief I could get would come immediately after I would throw up…and I did alot of that over the course of that weekend…but God was benevolent and gave me peace and rest as we all watched the game. No pain…no nausea…and elation at the end after a brave and valiant tour de force at the Goal Line.

The Stand.

Sweet, it was. As was that powerful smashing we gave lsu! Brewer ALWAYS loved to play lsu! So did Vaught. Moreso than many of our other rivals!

Magical. Beat lsu.

That's History

What’s with the ancient history?

Come back to Oxford on Saturday, Nov 24,2009

The only prayer left for Ole Miss is if Jordan Jefferson is still out. Then only about a 40% chance.

The LSU defense is going to hold Ole MIss to less than 12 points.

Have you ever heard of this man?

He’ll help us keep it close, I think.

Come back...

When you have a basic understanding of “The Cup”, as well as your own team. We do this every week, to educate new rebels of past experiences, and longer lasting rebels to enjoy nostalgia.

I really hope that your best bet for winning is JJ. That puts us at good odds.

But maybe you are right. Maybe we need more recent history?

Also Come Back...

When you can read a calendar. The game’s on the 21st. But you go on and show up or tune in on the 24th and see what you get.

You meant to say

“fewer” instead of “less.” It’s okay. I’ll let you off with a warning this time.

Sigh

Just when I thought I had things pretty civil over here…I guess everyone’s got their own Gonzo.

Well...

We don’t hold it against you.

Ancient History?

The game in question is less than 2 decades old. What about the eye-raping I receive on a near weekly basis of one your proud felonious alumni running a punt back 50 years ago?

Agreed

LSU should always be as close to Halloween as possible.

State should always be on Thanksgiving.

Memphis should always be playing some other school or just basketball.

I witnessed highs and lows in Tiger Stadium...

and last year was a big high!

LSU will play us close and the score will close. I think we win but by less than a TD.

I sometimes have these dreams
they usually come true.
Had another one last night.
Rebs beat LSU.

I’m a Tiger fan, but I thought ya’ll might like to know.

The only thing worse than losing is not winning.

LOL, imagine how I feel!

I was at that game

I was 8 years old. My parents made special arrangements with neighbors so my little sister and I could trick-or-treat a night early. It was the first time I got to witness a beatdown of LSUx in person. Oh yes, my costume was Col. Reb.
