You should show Archie's first 2 games against LSU.

It rained oranges down on them at the end of the game. LSU was going to the orange bowl. Watched from the student section of LSU.

You calling Art Cantrell a mouthy wimp? You must have a death wish.

I knew Art Cantrell, and he was anything but a wimp. One of the toughest people I ever met. Granted, he was at least 20 when he played his senior year in high school.

No doubt that's a good 3 hour entertainment but wish you had posted time stamps of particular plays for those of us who are prone to just 'look at the pictures'.

Art was no genius, but he was no wimp. Prior to a ABA local boxing league match between Biloxi (Arthur's year there) and 'Goula', the gathered crowd outside the gym was hanging out when someone bet Arthur that he couldn't pick up the front of a VW Bettle to his (Art)shoulders. When Arthur promptly did the military press with the VW, the bounty was exchanged and the Pascagoula opponent of Arthur had left. No wimp. True story.

Now do last year's game

This was the game where Ole Miss really showed their class by sending Archie out there with a broken arm. I always thought this is where they lost the services of Peyton. Maybe not. But what a classy move. Who else whould have done that? Hotty Toddy.

12:17, you are trying to apply 2024 sensibilities to 1970. To answer your question, anyone back then would have done it.

69 game not on Youtube.

This game shows one of the problems with Cholly Mac. Look who the starting qb is and who was on the bench at first. That's the kind of crap Mac pulled and why after Bert Jones and company graduated, his teams went down as his coaching became stale.

Archie Manning.

Most overrated QB ever.

Barf.

1:36 I was very much alive and sane back then and it was questioned and criticized by lots of people then and seldom if ever repeated. "Anyone" would not have done it. Good try.

@12:17 What the hell good is having a medical school if you can't give your star quarterback the ok to play with a busted arm? Get serious.

It is so sad to see MSU fans bashing anything Ole Miss, thinking that will somehow elevate them.

Hey 4:14PM, you don't know much about QB's then for sure is what that comment tells me. Yep, we got our brains beat out that day. I remember that as a young guy. Hey Kingfish, am I right that ABC and the teams agreed to move this game to the last game of the season before Archie was injured? I seem to remember that. Anyway, as Kingfish said, Archie did give it all he had, but LSU was too talented that year.

4:14, thousands of non-Ole Miss fans, including nearly all NFL players in his day disagree with you. But Hail State.

“Not quite time for college football season.”

Blasphemy!

It is ALWAYS college football season in the South!!!

I was there, and lost count of the number of Tommy Casanova’s punt returns for touchdowns.

Kingfish @2:08 This game also gives some historical perspective on the evolution of SEC football during the 70's and 80's. After Archie it took Ole Miss years to catch up to the rest of the SEC in recruiting, but LSU even with the dead weight of Cholly Mac, kept bringing in talent often misusing it. Times were drastically changing then and adjustments had to be made. I never thought I'd see such changes again, but here we are. Big changes coming but this time we will adjust better. We will. Hotty Toddy.

The talent on his late 70's teams had fallen off compared to a decade earlier. Even Bear had adapted to the changing game while Cholly stayed stuck in 1965: strong defense and run the I. If you have a great passer, make sure you bench him half the time.

@11:25 AM. The front end of a VW Beetle was essentially weightless (rear engined). When I was a senior in high school 4 of us picked up the assistant principal's Beetle and carried it into the front hall of Gulfport High School.

5:25- The most famous thing that Arcabaldy did was have to kids that he groomed into good NFL players. He sure didn’t accomplish many big wins on the NFL or college. And then, he helped Lil Eli circumvent the draft to get his little boy on the team he wanted to be on. Whaaaaa. What a jerk.

Archie had no line and ran for his life. One time he had a decent line he made pro bowl. Go look at BDJ's first year at Cincy. Took a beating.

5:00. Calling Archie Manning a jerk is illustrative of a severe lack of judgement.

5:00, be realistic - you’re either trolling or you get all of your football knowledge from Vanity Fair. In 1978 Archie was a Pro Bowl quarterback and NFC MVP for a Saints team that was 7-9.

Might want to note-this game was for the outright SEC championship. Early in the season Ole Miss lost to the University of Southern Mississippi in Oxford 30-14. Coach Bear Underwood brought a team led by All American Ray Guy and running back Willie Heidelberg-a player who may have been one of the first black players to play in Oxford. He was definitely the first black player to play on that new turf. Ole Miss was ranked number 5 in the nation before that game. To this day, this is considered the worst defeat in ole Miss football history by many of the old guard blue bloods and is the foundation why ole Miss stopped playing southern Miss after suffering multiple defeats in the next 10 years or so.

4:16 AM:

That was then, but this is NOW! Get the little birdies from Southern Miss and the distinguished world class Rebels of Ole Miss on a field, ANYWHERE on this planet, and do it RIGHT NOW and then see what happens.

I'm talking about, this can happen anyplace at anytime, but why wait. Let's do this RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOTTY TODDY to all, and to all a good night.

Im a big fan of Oxford and my team, but 5:28 makes us Rebs look pathetic.

Begging for USM to play us now...with the past years of loss and difficulty in Hattiesburg is like bragging that you can beat up a handicapped kid.

No offense to USM or handicapped kids.
