Since We're Approaching 100yrs at DWS..

[ArcherSPS]

What's your favorite memory/play/whatever from there? I have an obscure one. In 1999 I still remember Bully ripping Mikes's tail off before the homecoming ceremonies. I'll try to find some pics. Second place has to be pregame Arky 2010 with Linda Bell ending the moment of silence with ringing her cowbell 36 times.

FG to beat Arkansas and essentially win us the west.

Here are mine

1994 MSU/Tennessee- I still remember Raymond Austin (UT CB) talking all kinds of trash to the fans behind the bench when they were ahead early in the game. He was pretty quiet after Kendall Watkins caught the TD pass.

1998 Arkansas- The 3rd and 4th down conversions on the final drive were awesome. Those were arguably the two of the most clutch plays in Mississippi State football history. And think about this. There were less than 40,000 people in attendance for that game. The west side upper deck was about 50% full. It is crazy think about the rate of growth within our football program over the last 15 years. And there is not better example than that.

2000 Auburn- Auburn did not get a first down during the first half. It was the most dominating half of defensive football I have seen from a Mississippi State team. I believe Rudi Johnson finished the day with about 25 yards rushing. The final was 17-10, but we dominated that game.

On a side note, the pregame Egg Bowl fight was a unique thing to see. There were not many people in the stadium at that time. It sucks we lost the game, but to see a fight of that magnitude was crazy.

The 2000 Florida game is tops for me. This was Spurrier Florida. They were number three in the country and an offensive juggernaut. I believe they finished the game with negative fifty some odd yards rushing.

After that was when Tennessee came to town with Peyton Manning. He was young, but it was still good to whip the most talented Manning.

The 1999 Egg Bowl for me. To be honest, it really wasn't the greatest game for 3 1/2 quarters. I was 12 and I remember it was freezing, and there was an on and off mixture of rain and sleet coming down. We were losing for mostly the entirety of the game. Then came the Madkin TD, followed by the pick and kick, and the Dawg Pound Rock. I remember high fiving and hugging folks I had never met before. It was a very impressionable age, and I remember that being the night I fully committed to Mississippi State University (for better or worse). After the game, we were trying to get off campus and my dad pointed to the left and told me to look, naturally a crowd of fello bulldogs were carrying half of the goal post down the road.

I've only jumped the fence after 2 games at DWS.

'99 Egg Bowl (used my cowbell to liberate some over seeded bermudagrass at midfield.)
2000 Florida -I fought the gator mascot and took his jersey, then had to wrestle with fellow dawgs to keep it.

p.s.
In '98 SEC championship game in the Georgia Dome when KP ran the punt back at the beginning of the 4th quarter, is still the peak of my MSU fan experience.

First gen Bulldog here, so mine is pretty recent since I didn't grow up attending or really even watching games at DWS. Favorite moment has to be Anthony Johnson's pick 6 against Bama in 2007. Titus Brown with the pressure, AJ with the pick, and Nick Saban losing his mind.

Tony James punt return vs Auburn '92.

 

[LandsurveyorDawg]

Bama 1996. It was electric. I still have part of the goal post.

 

[NCDawg.sixpack]

No doubt the '98 Arkansas game. I was standing in the exit, fixing to leave if Madkin hadn't completed that crucial 4th down conversion to Love, and then the crucial 3rd down conversion to Cooper. After Hazelwood kicked the FG, the stadium went wild. That win propelled us to the SEC West championship after we beat Ole Miss in Oxford the next week.

 

[Statedog101]

The thing about Scott Field history is that up until the 1990's, many of our games were played away from starkville. Jackson and on the road. Once played lsu about 25 straight years in baton rouge.

Tearing down goalposts in 1984 after beating LSU

View attachment 930

 

[patdog]

Didn't participate in tearing the goal posts down. But as we were walking back to the dorms we passed some LSU fans. One of them yelled that we weren't going to a bowl game. I just rang my cowbell in his face and said, "And you're not going to the Sugar Bowl." Man, we really had their number back then.

Beating Bama in 1996 has to be up there.

That game pretty much saved the Sherrill Era and sent us into our "glory years" of the late 1990's.

I was young, but I remember most of the fans had grown pretty tired of Sherrill, but that ended quickly after that game. We go on to beat Bama 3 in a row. Then Stallings "retires" at the end of the season.

Safe to say that was one of the top moments in MSU football history.

Actually from 1923 through 1982, we NEVER played LSU in Starkville. Hell, we even only played them in Jackson EIGHT times between 1930 and 1981. All the other games were played in Baton Rouge, with the exception of two games played in Monroe in the early 1930s. Is it any wonder we have a terrible record against them and most other major SEC teams? Our athletic administration is our own worst enemy sometimes.
