One MSU football moment that you'd like to experience again

That kick was the beginning of the end of my marriage, I just didn't know it then. Win-Win for me...
it was cold and rainy, and we didn't feel like dealing with that. What a choke chob. And some ridiculous off the leg deflected pass.
That was the first weekend the Burgundy Room opened there I believe. I got wasted somewhere, woke up without my buddy or my cell phone, and drove back to Oxford without him, as I had no way to find him. Turned out he had my cell phone. His first ride back he found was two days later. Good times.

The first was when Kevin Prentiss returned the punt for a touchdown to give us a 4th quarter lead over Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game.
The second was leading Florida 47-21 in the 4th quarter in 2000 and honestly believing I was watching the best Mississippi State football team ever.

that game was the ultimate Egg Bowl for me. Both teams were pretty good, you had Ole Miss with Deuce and Joe Gunn and Romaro going up against MSU's #1 ranked defense. It seemed like every play was a big play almost from the kickoff on. It was on Thanksgiving, to.
You had Ole Miss dominating the TOP in the first quarter, I remember Smoot making an INT that stole a sure TD from Ole Miss that was just an absolutely unbelievable pick, being down 20-6 and knowing that we had them right where we wanted them, Dicenzo Miller's run for a TD where he just shot thorough a hole in the line and the safeties had no chance to react, Donald Lee jumping 10 feet in the air to haul in a TD, Madkin to CJ wide open at the 20, The kick by Bean and the pick by Eugene Clinton, and of course Westerfield's kick. Tearing down the goal posts and watching Ole Miss's cheeleaders being pussies and getting into a fight with Wes Shiver's brother.
It was my senior year at State to. It was a magical evening.

Sitting comfortably in my recliner in <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">our</span> my living room in San Diego watching the game. Drinking. Screaming at the TV. My now ex-wife, a Texas native, and thus, Longhorn fan (who to my knowledge has never stepped foot on the campus) throughout the game was alternating between telling me how obnoxious I was being and how State was pathetic and going to lose and that even though the entire neighborhood could hear my cowbell, the team couldn't. She also kept bringing up the previous Cotton Bowl. I told her they <span style="font-style: italic;">could</span> hear my cowbell, <17> the neighbors, and that her loudmouth was 10 times more obnoxious when the <17>ing Cowboys were on. In the waning minutes of the game, she began needling me more. And three minutes later, she couldn't say a damn word, and stomped out the back door to the deck to the sound of me giving her **** and ringing my cowbell and pointing out that State was 2-1 against the Tea Sippers. She hardly spoke to me for a week after that. Thus the beginning of the end, and a Win-Win for me: State won the Egg Bowl, and 5 months later we were filing for divorce. Granted, the divorce was more about the fact that she was <17>ing around on me with a guy she worked with, but that Egg Bowl game was the first of many giant arguments that she started over stupid ****.
I was at 80 Bama, but at 11 years old, it was hard to understand the significance of the win at that time
I was at the 98 Egg Bowl, and that will always be my favorite
But the feelings I felt and all the emotions going through me when we ran out of the tunnel in Atlanta for the SEC championship, I dont know that i'll ever feel like that again

Can't narrow it down to just one...
*'98 Arkansas game, Hazelwood for the win. This was the point of no-return for me. After this game, I knew I was a Bulldog for life.
*'98 Championship Game. Obviously, only parts of it. But the lead up to the game, and taking that 4th quarter lead...wow...I just try to forget the rest of it.
*'99 Egg Bowl. Amazing finish.
*'00 Snow Bowl. Never been to a game like that before or since. The first half was rough to get through, but the second half and overtime, that's what it's all about. I remember finally getting back to the hotel room after a couple hour drive on ice to watch highlights on sportscenter.
*The pair of Florida wins.

I would love to relive Anthony Johnson's pick 6 against Bama everyday for the rest of my life if I could. Everyone in the stands was going 17ing nuts and the whiskey was flying. Never in my wildest dreams did I think something like that would happen for us, but seeing that it did and actually being there was top notch
My best friend and cousin were running down the road that used to be behind the east side of the stadium. They were drunk blasted out of their skulls hugging all the girls that they saw. One jackass rebel said, "get the hell away from my daughter" The girl couldn't have been more then 15 years old. All they were doing was hugging them though, no groping or kissing. Both my friend and my cousin kicked the guy straight between his *** cheeks, twice. His feet literally lifted off the ground both times. they went hootin' and hollerin' on down the road and they guy stood there with his hands on his *** yelling for them to come back. I guess he wanted more. Funniest thing I had ever seen.
Croom detracts from ever great moment that happened between 2003 and 2008. I think our team would have done about the same and maybe slightly better without Croom on the field during gameday. Another one of my favorite MSU football moments is when I found out Croom was gone. He was such an embarrassment in so many ways.
Along those same lines.....the cardiac dogs. That team we had where no matter how the game was going, you knew in the 4th quarter we were going to turn it on beat the other team's ***. Not one particular moment - but what I want to experience is 4th quarter confidence, 4th quarter nail-biters, and 4th quarter temper tantrums on the opposition's sidelines.Indndawg said:
That is absolutely the most apeshit I have ever seen a college football crowd at DWS or anywhere else. You couldn't possibly tell something to the person next to you it was so loud. People jumping up and down, arms flailing, stuff flying through the air. That pick 6 happened right before halftime and the crowd didn't settle down until well after the band took the field for halftime. I felt like I didn't catch my breath until the teams were back on the field again to start the 2nd half.Croomp said:

And Maroon To The Max reminded me how we almost M-Stated up the end of that game. Taking the ball from Bama right before the were gonna score and beat us was one thing. But then Bond tried to fumble it right back to them when we were running out the clock. I'm still not sure Bama didn't recover that ball.
number 1 in the nation & were winning national championships pretty regular . There was more slobber-knocking in that game than I have seen in a long time. John Bond was running the option & getting killed on almost every play but just got up & kept on going . Our defense was fantastic that day. I've been an MSU fan longer than 87.13 % of most of you & that was and is our best win in history. That was a bigger shock to the Alabama fans than any losses since then. Back then they really believed the Bear could walk on water & their **** did'nt stink. Since then they've all believed that the Bear would re-incarnate & come back in another coach's body. That's why they tried the 3 Mikes. They finally figured out that if they came up with enough money just in the " Nick " of time that he would come back down & give them another shot of the " Glory Days " .
That is the best away game I have ever been to. The Egg Bowl in 1998 was also good since MSU fans were about all that was left at the end. The Arkansas game in 1998 which was the first goal post I ever tore down, Eggbowl 99 which is the 2nd, and Florida 00 were all great. The best bowl game has to go to the Snow Bowl. Watching everyone walking around like they were about to bust their ***, it was a fun time.
I loved the eggbowl and went nuts with Norwood against FLA but, there has been no DWS atmosphere that compared to what happened throughout those beautiful 100+ yds. Due to the longevity of the play it just kept getting louder and crazier. I was soaked in Whiskey and other things and could not have been happier.
