in the Billy Brewer era, the return to prominence of the program in the post-Vaught era, being

teammates with Chuck E. Mullins, some memorable games from that time, his life after football,

and his thoughts on the current state of the Ole Miss football program. Then we talked about Eddie, talked to Eddie Strong, Ole Miss Great, one of the first athletes. I remember at Ole Miss about his career, his transition to pro football, what he's been doing since, and his thoughts on the current state of the Ole Miss football program. So two Ole Miss great linebackers.

It's a linebacker Friday, I guess.

I didn't even think about that until just now. That's why I'm a genius. So anyway, buckle up. I think you'll enjoy both of these awesome interviews.
