1996, Tuberville had a few fan/buddies that he trusted. One of them got in the sauce one evening and was running his mouth before the Egg Bowl about all his inside info. He forgot about a nonRebel in the bunch. Just because they are such obnoxious pricks and he was offended at the lack of class, this nonRebel called his Dawg friend to relay the story.
According to our mole, several Rebel assistants knew they were outmatched and had developed a pregame scheme. After pregame warmups in Oxford, the visiting team had to pass by the Rebel team on the way to their locker room. Several of the Rebel scrubs were going to make their way over to the visitors as they passed and start something. They had a game plan. Punches were to be thrown. Once the mele started, they had a “hit list” of State players to “take out”.
Phone calls were made and the info was relayed to Sherrill himself.
After the warmup, the Dawgs did their post warmup huddle like always as a dozen or so Rebels made their way to midfield jawing and taunting. State coaches and Jackie stood between them and stared down the Rebels.
As soon as the huddle broke, the whole MSU team turned their backs, exited the field opposite the locker room, went underneath the stadium, and made their way around to the locker room past all of the bathrooms and concession stands completely bypassing the whole Rebel team. We won 17-0.
