Prayers to his family. I guess it has been so long since I've seen him but I did not picture him as 83. Guess I'm getting old too.

I always liked Brewer, he was old school

Red britches, hit you in the mouth kind of guy. He and Jackie were cut from the same cloth which explains their deep hatred but respect for one another. RIP red britches!

i didn't. In a straight up world he would have been a Dawg. He had our background. In his era those kind of guys were purchased by UM. It's hard to blame HIM. They essentially tolerated him, when they had to.

Joe Lee Dunn once told me that the only difference in Billy Brewer & Jackie Sherrill was that JWS wore more expensive clothes. Brewer's success at Ole Miss forced MSU to make a hire like JWS.

RIP Billy "Dog" Brewer.

And Jackie allegedly knew what the meaning of the word habitual.
