SECN airing play by play announcers SEC storied right now

During that time, did OM do the same? Did they play their home Egg Bowl games in Jackson or in Oxford?

The fact we also elected to play Bama and other schools in Jackson rather than at home just shows the levels of self sabotage we were willing to inflict upon ourselves. It's honestly a wonder we've ever had any football success considering our past.

OM, Arkansas, Alabama and I believe Auburn too played home games in the largest city in their state rather than on campus in those days. Alabama played in Birmingham just as much as Tuscaloosa.

OM played just as many games as we did in Jackson in the 70 and 80s. OM played a few games in Jackson until 1993 or 94. We quit after the 90 season. Arkansas was playing multiple games as late 2010 in Little Rock. I believe Alabama played one home game a year in Bham as late as 96.

You aren't wrong in games Belong on campus. But we just did what everyone else did in those days.

Ah, thanks for that bit of info. Wasn't aware that was normal back then.

Scott Field didn't have lights til the mid or late 80s. Had to bring in portable lights for our first night game.

ETA: 1982 beat LSU 27-24

Playing in Jackson was ok. The stadium was the twice the size of Scott Field.

The problem was us selling so many home games. We played in Baton Rouge 20 out of 23 years or some ridiculous amount in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. We would play our home games against Auburn in B'ham and other places. Just a very terrible, stupid job of managing athletics in the old days.

I was too hung up on Jackson, but this was definitely the issue.

Combine that with never forcing the issue on how our schedule was stacked against us year in and year out. Most years 5 of our 6 SEC games were OM, LSU, Bama, Auburn, and Florida. Meanwhile Ole Miss gets to play Tulane and Vandy every year and spent the better part of 3 decades dodging Bama, Auburn, GA, and FL.
