"Cross the goal before you fall"

[RingN2012]

Anybody think this is a negative way to look at it? Seems like a bit of a strange line in a "fight song."
Trip over your own feet and fall? That seems to reflect our history a little bit.
Not going to lose any sleep, just thought it was kind of funny

You're late to this party. That gooberific line has been made fun of here many times.

I would think the writer envisioned a runner with someone on his back.

I love it. Sums up MSU perfectly.

This^^
I've always envisioned it as someone battling and carrying people on his back, and falling in exhaustion or something after scoring on a hard fought play

Much like Dixon did ... more than once

Dixon definitely crossed the goal before he fell http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8RAQ2_R2RNc&desktop_uri=/watch?v=8RAQ2_R2RNc

That was a great run, and glad I could witness it, but

Damn I was pissed after that game.

That is one game that I will always blame on the refs. That and the Kentucky SEC championship game. That game kept us out of a bowl Dan's first year.

No

 

[The Usual Suspect]

No doubt those CUSA refs determined that game. I was down by the Mclub building as game ended. Basically refs ran to van and cops got them out of there.

Watch Tyson Lee #beast

Reminds me of the impromptu Dawgpile we did coming out of our own tunnel before a game, too lazy to look for pic.

That is standard procedure.

i wish AD (lsu), relf (auburn) had crossed the goal before they fell....and tyson lee had not crossed the line that he actually didnt cross before the pass (houston)....and the florida guy in starkville...i wish he wouldnt have crossed....per zebra vision. ****...thats a lot of lines not crossed or crossed unfortunately.

 

[dogmatic]

Better than "Cross the goal before you fumble" I guess.

A friend and I rewrote Hail State in college over a beer after another loss.

Titled it, "The Hell with Dear Ole State". Our line for "Cross the Goal..." was "Stumble around until you fall." So i guess it could have been worse.
