For what it's worth from an ol timer...

State will still be favored to end up 9-3, have a great bowl game... and the Confederates will still get hammered (hopefully with vacating those "wins" against Bama).

[I always find the bright side when losing close in a game that was expected to be a BIG loss...]

Right there with ya buddy.
Somebody has to figure out how to stop the Crimson Machine. I just hoped it would be us tonight.

I just keep remembering the Bill Curry years and the Mike DuBose years of Alabama. Once a legendary coach leaves the following years for Alabama have been tough (although Bear, Stallings, and Saban are some legendary coaches).

Saban won't coach for eternity. We will have to win and build MSU up till they find a replacement legend.
