In about 1963 baseball played in Columbus while Duty Noble was built in its current location. I was in the 4th grade and walked to Redbird Field after school and sat on the score board. I hung the number of runs up on the nails after each inning. Also attended football at Scott Field back to 1961 when we have the scoreboard with the circular clock with minute and second hand. Paul Davis was coach and then Charlie Shira after that.

That's awesome stuff.

You're MSU OG if:

1. You camped out at the Hump before we beat LSU for the SEC Championship in 1991. Extra OG if you got one of the donuts that the newly hired Jackie Sherrill handed out to the students that morning.

2. The names Al Rickey Edwards, Donald Ray King, and RJ McKenna ring a bell.

3. You heard Jack Cristil praise the offensive line for "performing yeoman duty along the forward wall."

4. You sat in the back row of a class in McCool Hall with Tony Watts, who wore sunglasses throughout each class.

5. The Landing and Allgoods were frequent destinations.

6. You voted for Daniel Boyd for student association president.

7. You can not only recite Hank Flick's pregame routine from the Hump in your best nasal twang, but you can also remember his post-game suggestion to "drive safely and defensively and without benefit of alcohol."

8. You know that Rickey Joe Redd is from Waxahachie, Texas.

9. You're still angry at the Jay Barker fumble that was ruled an incomplete pass in the 1994 Alabama game.

10. You or your dad has a "Win something today!" t-shirt.

I have one in my parents' attic that is the maroon Bulldog Blitz on one side and information about the Sun Bowl on the white side. I have to go find that thing.

I had the night shift in that campout but was relieved shortly after 7 and before Jackie showed up.

Ah... Allbad's...

...If you know why "YEAST"... "ROLL" was a cheer, or relatedly, if you know who Neal is.


*Of course, at that time I didn't know what an OG was until a couple years when Ice-T taught me.

Youre an OG if you wept with joy on Nov 1 1980 and if you don't need anyone to remind you what happened on that date.

If you can close your eyes and hear these...

“You can wrap this one in maroon and white”

“Flag on the plaaaaaaay”

“Welcome to the Hump for HOOPS!”

You're a true OG if you ever sat close enough to Jack during b'ball games to smell the cigarette smoke and hear him cuss like a sailor about EVERYTHING during timeouts/commercial breaks. Good times, good times.

There were times when you didn't have to be too close to him to hear him cursing.

He would leave the broadcast area and walk out to the concourse that circles the Hump and go outside the Hump doors and smoke him a couple during the half.

You're a true OG if you stopped by Jack with your son at an away basketball timeout to say hello and hand him a note that said:

"Cochise and Mrs. Cochise wish to say hell to their family back in Batesville, MS" and Jack read it on the air.

Granted, I was the son, so I don't know how OG that makes me, but I definitely remember it.

You're an MSU OG if you ever stood around the bull ring with a bunch of guys whistling and cat-calling girls. Also oinking some of them.
