Don't think this is true of 1940. Besides, the same was true of all states. Mississippi was not an exception.

Jackie only had 3 in his entire tenure...I'll have to go back to that post, but it seems I remember that Jackie was something like 8-30 vs the top 25

Well, we had some other really good wins as well. We beat the 1997 Auburn team 20-0 that went 9-2 and lost the SEC championship to Manning and TN by 1 point. We beat a 7-4 Bama team in '98, a 7-4 OM team in '99 and then of course in 2000 beat a Top 10 FL team, an Auburn team that finished the year 8-4 and a 7-4 TA&M team in the bowl. Most of our best wins in modern day football came from the 1996-2000 time span. Jackie's 2 best wins in the early 90's was the 30-6 whipping of a FL team that finished 8-3 in '92 and a win over a 7-4 Manning led TN team in '94.

Did you know that in grand MSU fashion we fired his ass a year or two later for not meeting the expectations of our football program that he had created.
Sound familiar?
