Noticed they got up close and personal a few times. Glad Dak won too though.

I bet most announcers in the NFL don't even realize that Dak and Fletch actually played at the same school.

 

[whosyourdawgy]

Fletch destroyed whoever Dallas had in front of him today. Hell everyday. He probably put Zach Martin on the injured list by pushing him back like a rag doll passed the play. Fletch wasn’t the reason the Eagles lost. And he is all Bulldog and anybody that’s still mad at him for saying Yazoo City really needs to understand why he does and accept it. It’s stupid to be upset about that

 

[JoMo MoJo]

Long story short. I know a guy who’s son is a very good friend of Fletcher. So good a friend that this guy’s son was the one who picked Fletcher up at Hawkins Field when Cox came in on the Eagle’s jet to go to the funeral of the coach in Yazoo City that died. This guy hosted Fletcher Cox in his house for a few hours before the funeral. He was shocked that Dak was not one of Fletcher’s favorite people.

Not entirely sure what this means, but I don’t think Dak and Cox were even at State at the same time, were they? I guess I’m confused why Dak and Cox would be likely to really know each other or have strong feelings one way or the other, or are you saying they do and Cox doesn’t like Dak?

 

[Lildoggy]

Probably because he plays for the Cowboys. I’m guessing that’s all there is to it.

 

[DancingRabbit]

There's some SEC-level hate between Dallas and Philly.

DL tend to not like QBs anyway.

For real. And it means a lot more to kids from Yazoo City to hear that on Sunday Night Football than it would to hear MSU. We have a ton of great representatives for MSU on the National Stage. Let Fletcher shout out his home town and be a positive role model for some kids.

I believe Jerry Clower is from Yazoo City...

I bet most announcers in the NFL don't even realize that Dak and Fletch actually played at the same school.

On Thanksgiving, Dak got sacked by Preston Smith twice and on another occasion got out of his clutches before that circus TD run that he had, and the announcers never mentioned that they were teammates at MSU. Guess it makes sense, probably happens a lot nore frequently than we realize with non-MSU players, and the announcers can’t really call attention to it every time that it happens.

Both were on the 2011 team. Dak was a redshirt freshman. Cox was a Jr. and was drafted in 2012.

 

[JoMo MoJo]

He gave me the impression it was personal between Dak and Cox. I want to say all this occurred during Dak’s rookie season and he made a comment about how great Dak was doing and Cox just gave him an eye roll. He honestly didn’t elaborate much more on it. I don’t think Cox thought very highly of Marvins either.

 

[AFDawg]

Jerry lived in Yazoo. But Jerry is from Liberty.

 

[DancingRabbit]

Route 4, I believe.

Route 4 Liberty, MS. Right down the road from Marcel Ledbetters beer joint.....South edge of Mr. Ben DeLawders swamp property.


I was lucky enough to see him live at some point in high school in the 90’s. He was the lead speaker for the MSHFB smart person scholarship for the Miss/Lou area around Natchez. He was captivating, warm and seemed to have really enjoyed his evening in town. He told 3 stories..all where classic but at the time, I’d never heard the one he ended on:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YzsbPJN6ju8

That was hilarious! Vintage Clower!

 

[Dawgzilla]

Fletcher must not be True Maroon.**

 

[HumpDawgy]

I'm proud of both of them regardless of any animosity between the two. They are both doing well.


Also, I don't have connections to either Fletch or Dak, but I did go to State at the same time Jerry's daughter Katy was there. Met and hung out with her a few times. Seemed like a nice gal. Unfortunately never got to meet Jerry.

Agree that I wouldn't expect them to mention that kind of thing often, its just that Dak and Fletch are 2 of the biggest and most recognizable names in the entire NFL right now. Most folks probably wouldn't know Preston Smith even though he is a very good player in his own right.

Dak would have been a true FR that year.

Haha. I met her at a party somewhere her freshman year, was introduced, and I said “HOW!! SHOOT THAT THANG!” like her dad would’ve said it. And she slapped the fire out of me. Haha. I was like damn girl. Ended up apologizing to each other and talking for a while. Very nice person. She thought i was Disrespecting him but I truly wasn’t. And that’s my Katy Clower story.

 

[DirtyDog]

I was at MSU at the same time as Jerry's daughter, and I remember running into him several times. Once while eating the buffet at the Golden Harvest, and it was memorable. He was just like he was on stage when not on stage. Sitting down eating dinner with his daughter and was as loud and obnoxious as you can imagine. It was cool for a few minutes, but grew to be annoying... I do enjoy his southern humor.

An eye roll?

Well that deescalated quickly.
