Just 3 years ago - our whole athletic department had momentum around December 2010.

Baseball - although success had yet to come - we got the coach we wanted. There was still speculation but 3 years ago we ended up making a super regional.

Basketball - going into the season - everyone thought we were a sure fire tournament team. We were at one point 19-5?? (can't remember) and a top 15 ranked team. Then the bottom falls out.

Football - we are coming off our first 9+ win season in 11 years. Mullen is rolling. We got high profile recruits (CJ Johnson, Whitehead, etc) committed.

Fast forward 3 years later...

Football - we are talking about firing our coach after 3 straight bowl appearances.

Basketball - looks like another year where we will be lucky to fill a roster with scholarship players.

Baseball - rocking and rolling like no other.

It's like it's 1985 all over aGAIN.

At least we still have Cohen. Without the CWS run, I'm pretty sure the 2013 sports year at MSU would be completely forgettable.

Yes they do. Remember when the East were the big dogs in SEC football?

We weren't ranked going to the championship game? Weird.

The cruddy thing is that 6-2 would get us 2nd place at best now. Most likely 3rd.

I knew as soon as bama put 3 receivers on the left side of that formation that they'd score on that play. It crushed me as they got in the formation.
