Rewatching the Egg Bowl.....

[HD6]

and in the fourth quarter, Kaylee Hartung says Boobie Dixon spoke to the team, and that he is now retired from the NFL. I didn't know he was officially done, is that true?

 

[MSUDC11]

May or may not be officially retired, but he's 29 and nobody gave him a look after Buffalo cut him in the spring. So he's probably done.

He lasted six years. That's longer than the league average and long enough to qualify for pension.

 

[Lettucexxxx]

I didnt know this either but out of all of our alumni, Booby has kept up with us and been the most active alum that I can remember in recent memory. He has a passion that cant be taught or achieved....He was born a dog. Hope he continues to bring the grind and the FUN FUN FUN to our future teams.

 

[dawgstudent]

Boobie was injured. He might get one more shot. I know one thing - he's loved by the city he's played in

 

[pmack65]

Pretty sure he's done. Per Tyson Lee who stated that booby would like to get into coaching and is hoping to hook on with MSU in some capacity.

That needs to happen.

 

[Sancho Panza]

Have only watched it 5x, so far...

 

[dannyripms]

I would love to have boobie as a running backs coach. The guy is true maroon and is a great RB himself. I'm sure he could get those guys fired up and running over some people.

 

[pDigital32Dawg]

I'm pretty sure every MSU fan would like Boobie to be hired onto our staff. He's passionate enough about both football and MSU.

I know one thing - he's loved by the city he's played in

Watched the Egg Bowl with a friend who went to high school with his mother. Talking about him, the one thing that stands out is everyone in Starkville loves him, everyone in San Francisco loves him, and everyone in Buffalo loves him, and he wasn't really a star player at either SF or Buffalo. That says a lot about a person.

Where are you watching it? They put up the skycam only feed for the WatchESPN replay.

Still the best...

It came on SEC Network at 2 am Monday.

That skycam feed was awkward - no commentary.

 

[llmsudawg]

Stating the obvious... but Boobie was the best running back in the SEC the year Ingram won the Heisman. Think about that.

He's a great ambassador for Mississippi State. Always has been.

 

[Bigdawghouse83]

Booby was the most punishing back we have had a State. He loved to crush the opponent. The videos are so fun to watch. If he could teach that mentality to our talented backs......the future will be FUN FUN FUN!

 

[tcdog70]

Booby was a punishing Back. But don't forget about Michael Davis and Hoyle Granger. Hoyle had a 1000 yard rushing year for the Oilers. Has there ever been another MSU RB to rush for a 1000 in the Pros?

 

[Xenomorph]

Every time I see Texas on tv I still look for Mike D's cleat marks on their backs.

[Uncle Ruckus]

I don't get why people think just because someone played in the NFL that they can be a good college coach. Have him as a GA? Sure. He would be excellent in the type of capacity that Peterson is at. On campus recruiting. Him and Smoot would be outstanding at this position.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

I loved re watching on the SkyCam. You got to see all the mammoth holes the OL

It came on SEC Network at 2 am Monday.

Opened up. Also got to see point of view for most of Fitz throws.

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

he would be phenomenal on the recruiting trail

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

My favorite moment:

[FQDawg]

My favorite part of that video...

Was the announcer calling a juke by one of the Kentucky players a "jerk move." The play starts about the 3:22 mark and the comment is around 3:34.

Share your sentiments about Michael Davis... probably my all-time favorite Bulldog.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

JJ Johnson would truck a fool.

 

[The Peeper]

100% agree. He loves MSU and everybody likes him. He needs to be involved w/ the program in some capacity but I'm not sure it's as a position coach.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Loved JJ. That era was when I really became a true self-aware fan.

as much as it hurts me to say it, Dontae Walker (the freshman version) was probably the most punishing back we've had. he was the bowling ball before Josh Robinson knew what (|) was. just my opinion though

http://youtu.be/R07yQOIMCUM[/QUOTE We must have run that off tackle play 25 times that night!

 

[Dawgzilla]

They misspelled "Dixom"

 

[Maroon Blood]

Dennis Johnson, Lewis Grubbs and Wayne Jones were punishing backs, too.

maybe Walker was the most punishung RB you have seen. But I have seen Davis-JJ and Hoyle Granger and they were the most punishing. With Hoyle as the most badass.

 

[dawgstudent]

Also add Michael Davis and Kevin Bouie.

 

[GloryDawg]

I forgot how tiny Tyson Lee was.

 

[tenureplan]

IDK why Bouie doesn't get mentioned more. I think linebackers feared him more than Davis.

 

[Sancho Panza]

Keefer McGee

 

[tcdog70]

juco running backs

Also add Michael Davis and Kevin Bouie.

Bouie was a JUCO RB. We have had great success with JUCOs .
1. Ode Burrell
2. Kevin Bouie
3. JJ the magnificent
4. Vic Ballard

Good view of the pregame 'fight' though on skycam... I didn't see it on the original broadcast. Would have been the perfect view if any swings had actually been taken.
