Freeze was 10 years ago and Nutt was 15 years ago.
Yes, then they fired favorite son Matt Luke 5 years ago, right after their dipshitt AD who got them into the boiling pot with Freeze left on the next train out of town and escaped to A&M. That was not a good time for them, no matter how much they want us to forget it.
Kiffin was just a few weeks ago. Yes, they had a good run with him, there's no doubt. And I'm sure those two playoff wins over (*cough*) Tulane and Georgia were fun for them. But the best era they've ever had ended suddenly and very embarrassingly in a glorious volcanic eruption. We all feel a huge gap between the teams this past two seasons, but there wouldn't have been nearly as big a gap if Leach hadn't died.
I'm not sure what we're arguing here, other than I don't like when State fans always (always) poor mouth us and unneccessarily fellate olemiss, when they aren't as perfect as they want to pretend.
