The Red Cup Chronicles: 1969 Tennessee pissed off Archie Manning and paid the price

Hello everyone, thank you for joining me for another edition of Red Cup Chronicles where I, your Red Cup historian Grayson Weir, will tell stories to help you learn stuff about Ole Miss.

After getting drunk during the Egg Bowl in 1907 and traveling down to Cuba in 1921, this week’s tale is certainly more familiar to Rebel fans. We saw disappointing finishes to our first two time machine trips and I felt a need for some positivity this go around. Please buckle your seat belts and keep your hand inside the moving vehicle at all times.
