This SEC Network documentary showcased how a relationship and a bond of friendship and brotherhood formed between Mullins and Gaines. Oddly enough, the hit on Gaines brought the two closer together, and Gaines still visits Mullins’ grave in his hometown of Russville, Alabama, three times a year.
The memory of Chucky will never be forgotten on the Ole Miss campus as the whole community rallied behind a fallen hero in support. As the game against Vanderbilt draws near, its hard not to think back and remember Mullins and his unwavering spirit.
