Did You Give Up When Rogers Fumbled?

Which fumble?
Part of me resigned after his 3rd Quarter fumble. That seemed like a good time to make a turkey sandwich and check my emails. I peeked at the TV in time to see UM going for it on 4th and goal.

I didn’t give up, but I cussed Will, the side judge, my in-laws, Eli Manning, your mom, and Billy Brewer.
I told my wife that if state loses this game, Will Rogers will go down in history as the most reviled player at state. I told her that his confederate family roots will forever be blamed by conspiracy asshats as the reason he threw the game.
Yea man. I gave up. But I kept on stuffing your Ole Miss student daughter the whole night.
After the fumble they recovered in the third I left the family and started listening on the radio. I eventually went back in the 4th and finished it up on TV
I immediately started to think back on what our most disappointing loss has been in football in the last fifty years and IMO this game was about to take the damn cake.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Real answer. Thought we were headed to overtime and our D gave us the best chance. Also thought what a stupid call.
A minute before that I explained to my 9 year old daughter what being an MSU fan was like and to expect to have your heart ripped out. Then that happened, and I told her to brace herself and try to become an LSU fan.
No, they still have to go 99 yards on the vaunted D, we good……..wait……then I gave up.
I didn't give up; however, if you've watched MSU football long enough, you are a liar if you *didn't* think "Uh-oh, I've seen this movie before"
Here's the thing, this year's team rarely instilled confidence in me that they could close out a game in a consistent fashion. Successful programs close out games, especially the ones that are close. Look at Alabama this year - easily could be 6-5 instead of 9-2. That is the difference between consistently winning and ".500 for life"

No, the eight point lead had me feeling fairly confident with how State had been playing in the red zone. I thought we could get a stop or have a better chance in OT.
Nah. I actually just figured the universe corrected itself for them getting hosed on that inadvertent whistle. I figured we’d pull it out.
Which time? I personally gave up a little bit when he ran out of bounds on 4th down short of the stick to avoid a hit.
I agree. What looked like a comfortable win, ensued mass chaos. OT would’ve gone their way IMO. They had all the momentum. I would’ve ranked this loss up there with the “Immaculate Deflection” had it gone that way.
I was pissed when it happened but the way it played out in the end was really good. It was great seeing the bears fans get hopeful only to have it ripped out of their hands by great D Line play. I am glad it ended the way it did. To me it just made their loss and our win better.
No. It is typical MSU to run a play you have NEVER run before in a situation like that. If you pound it into the line 2 more times there all you do is eat up more clock. More than likely you score the TD but a field goal with less time is just as good.
Nah. I trusted our defense. Was surprised OM converted the two 4th downs on their last drive. Thought we’d clamp down eventually, which we technically did on the 2 point play.
