Reading the Hartzog thread about Gulfport I started thinking about the old Mississippi Big 8. It was a great conference and had tremendous rival games including the 'little brown jug' battle between Laurel and Hattiesburg. I remember the Brick in Laurel being packed to the rafters when Hattiesburg would come to town. Good ole days in highschool football for sure.
Was the original Big 8: Laurel, Hattiesburg, Meridian, Gulfport, Biloxi, Jackson Murrah, Greenville and Greenwood? I'm not really sure.
