Ole Miss Football: Army/Navy, The Way We Were, The Way We Should Be

For Ole Miss football fans who may not know, Eagle Day was best known as ‘The Mississippi Gambler’ for his heroic quarterback play under coach Johnny Vaught. In his three seasons as Ole Miss quarterback he helped the Rebels to a 26-5-1 record and a MVP performance in the Cotton Bowl against TCU in a 14-13 win. Of course, in the 1950’s college football was worlds away from the way the game is commercialized today.

For example, William Day posted this during the Army/Navy football game on Saturday. William gave me permission to share this with our readers.
