Since I feel like a lot of have had more pissed off moments leaving Davis Wade than moments of elation, what times have you been most pissed leaving the stadium. I have 3:


1. LSU 09-This probably takes the cake, even over a lot of good ones. I was stewing for like 3 days after this game. I was so pissed that Mullen didn't just give it to Dixon 4 straight times.

2. Florida 18-I was officially out on Moorhead at this point. I left more fired up than I had been since probably that LSU game. In my head I started the countdown til we could fire him.

3. Georgia Tech 09-I don't know why this one sticks out in my mind so much. But I remember watching them run the option and then just raise it up and throw it to Demaryius Thomas and he'd get 8-10 yds. I vividly remember texting some of my Ole Miss buddies that they were going to beat us by 100 in the Egg Bowl because Snead was going to throw for 500 yds.

I didn't add Maine or South Al because I wasn't even mad. I was honestly laughing because it was just comical

15 Egg Bowl was bad but it was over at half so I had plenty of time to settle down before the game ended.

Easy one. 1981 Battle for the Golden Egg. Phantom pass interference call in the end zone at the end of the game. Worst call in collegiate football history. And John Fourcade can still kiss my ass. Along with Dick Pace. What an appropriate name.

Only counting games I have attended:

1. LSU 09 - Every opportunity to win and couldnt get it done.
2. @Auburn 2011 - The headset debacle. Relf stuffed at the goal line by a scrub DB at the end.
3. @Tennessee 2019 - We were clueless against a team that lost to Georgia State at home. Moorhead sucks.

Florida 2018. I had it worked up in my head for a year that we would blow them out and they'd put Mullen up on the jumbotron for one last laugh late in the 4th quarter.

Even after we'd blown the game against Kentucky I still expected to win.

09 LSU. I still think Dixon scored but he walks if Tyson lee pitches it. (We had Tyson Lee playing QB in the SEC)

09 Houston. We got absolutely hosed by the refs. Called back 2 touchdowns by Arnil Stallworth and tried to give Houston 5 downs.

17 Egg Bowl. We were 14 points better and lost cause Dan was done.

2012 South Carolina. We stuffed lattimore all game, got inside the 5 twice and didnt finish it. Alshon Jeffrey caught a TD and be was naked open on a busted coverage.

2008 Auburn. 3-2.

2006 Tulane. 32-29 and it wasnt that close.

2004 Maine. We lost to Maine.


2016 South Alabama. We lost cause Dan was dicking around while we had one of our best offenses he ever had

Add in 2021 LSU and Egg bowl. We were better than LSU and did stupid shit like our first 3rd down the ball hits Jaden walley in the head. Had 3 guys tackle each other, injuring Emmanuel Forbes and they scored. Egg bowl we lost at half when we dropped 3 touchdowns and missed the FG

People forget, because we got down 21-3, that we should've won that 21 LSU game. Should've won the 22 game as well but that's another story for another time. That game was so stupid. We had 1st and 10 inside their 40 three times in the first half and got 3 points. Then there was the Rodney Groce unsportsmanlike that continued their drive that ended up being the game winning drive, although it was to put them up 28-10.

Exiting our seats in section C post game. Look up and see several mid 20s to 30 year old fine gentlemanly fans in blue looking down.
Look down for a second, then a whiskey bottle grazed my Mom's shoulder and shattered at my feet.

Football wise, one of several SEC games where "Big Game Dan" looked like a scared puppy pregame when he didn't think we could win.
Expectation-reality = attitude. Both from me and Dan.

I gotta say in the early JWS years at MSU, in Oxford late in the game we have 1st and ten inside the 10 yard line. I forgot how many tries we had that evening against Joe Lee Dunn’s defense but it was at least 10 or 11 and couldn’t score. Bitter lose that day for me!

Hmm...let's see, probably the 85 Eggbowl. I was just an elementary kid, but I was so upset and knew I was going to get an earful from those little JA bastards at school. I wasn't dreading the trash talk so much as I knew there was going to be a fight when school started back. Sure enough we got into a fight on the playground. I kicked a kid in the head a then got a handful of rocks thrown in my face. Then I got into a one on one with my school nemesis. We hammerfisted each other's head and face and kicked the crap out of each other's shins and knees. I never could get him though. It was just me and a couple of buddies against a whole slew of Ole Miss brats. We certainly couldn't win but held our own just fine. The '87 Eggbowl was glorious though. Sitting the southeast end zone bleachers at VMS. One of my few MSU childhood highs. 30-20 bitches!

At LSU getting screwed by the refs on a Labrandon Toefield touchdown( I mean touchback). Double OT didn’t end till midnight in Death Valley. Said I would never go back there and haven’t since!

Some of you have mentioned some games from 2020 and 2021. Idk if Covid, Air Raid, NIL or just life but after 2018-2019, I remember zero games. Leach-Wendys-Lebby years I legit do not remember how any games played that I remember besides maybe 2020 LSU.

Like 2009-2019 I remember every significant game from that year if you say 2012 ____, and how they played out and how I felt and the implications it had.

I think after 2018 I checked out because I knew deep down we missed our only chances ever as a program (2014,2017,2018) and were cooked going forward.

2. 1983 egg bowl when Artie Cosby’s field goal got blown back. Broke my cow bell in half hitting it on the metal railing in Jackson Memorial stadium
3. 2008 loss to La. Tech in Ruston La. I was there!
4. 2009 loss to LSU

Same. Someone started a thread a few weeks back when do you think the decline started and I know, for me, after that game I haven?t felt the same about football program. That game was soul crushing.

I have that last play, Fitz dropping back and their safety sprinting 20 yards untouched and just cracking Fitz helmet so hard. That sound is seared into my brain.

Yep, easy #1 for me, too.

#2 1977 losing to the Mustard Buzzards 14-7 in the last couple of minutes on an interception return in the rare (back then) on campus game. Being from the coast and most of my high school classmates going to USM made going home a little rough.

Then the 4th down call they didn't get but ref moved the ball. Yeah Relf was hurt and didn't play like old Relf. Old Relf would have easily scored the winning TD at the end. The whole day just sucked.

2022 LSU- I think we win that one we have real momentum to get to 10+ regular season wins that year but it just felt flat afterwards.

Every 2018 loss- Moorhead was a disaster and it was evident every time we stepped on the field even in the wins.

I cannot believe no one has said it but 2017 Bama. The blitz at the end was too aggressive and felt like a knife in the heart stabbed by Grantham

For me it's the '99 Bama game in Tuscaloosa........Pig Prather ran back a punt for a TD and it was called back for a "block in the back"........I've watched that video multiple times and there's no effing block in the back..........That call costs us the game.........The '91 Bama game was another one........We had those mf'ers beat.........Down 13-7 with a couple of minutes left in the game and we had the ball on the two yard line..........That POS John Sullins (Bama LB) was barking out the cadence and Michael Montgomery reacted and was flagged for a false start........Sleepy ended up throwing a pick a play or two later and we lost..........

It's funny because high school day my senior year was the day we lost to Northeast Louisiana.

I really think the GT game was many players not wanting to get hurt on D impacting their NFL draft stock. GT with the blocking down at the knees. Our O was good that game, I think Dak set an orange bowl record. Our D never tried to stop the option and that dirty blocking tactic GT used.

But yeah I was really mad about that followup from the egg bowl.

Yeah the year Fitz only got like a couple and series then sat the bench. Fitz plays all day we win game easily. That was maybe the worst opening day loss I can remember.

i think we intercepted the pass--right?

Yep. The defensive back was in front of the receiver and he just went up and picked it off.

The dead silence of the crowd when the FG clanged off the upright. Ugh.
The way DM handled 2016 was criminal. That team wasn't as bad as their record. Only Sirmon could make a defense play that poorly.

You completely forgot about them shooting off the cannon as if we'd made it. We were watching the game in the Junction and one of my buddies started high fiving everyone when the cannons went off and just said "WTF" when we missed it and I think he was silent for like an hour.

LOL - I was in the NEZ suites and had no idea they fired the canon. That ranks high on the "How MS State Was That?" scale.
The worst part about that weekend was we left a High School football game in Orlando that Thursday night before, and literally drove through Hurricane Hermine as it made landfall to get to a hotel in Lake City FL before driving to Starkville the next day.
I was dead by the time we kicked off that Saturday. So was the team.

I remember talking to a player that Saturday night and they were just like, "Mullen wasn't even mad. It was almost like he was enjoying how much hell he was going to put them through that next week." Then I talked to Nick later on in the week because I had heard Damian had gotten some of the receivers together to throw on Sunday, basically to try and gain favor for him to keep the starting job. Said Mullen walked in on either Monday or Tuesday and said "Nick is the bleeping QB and if you don't like it the door is right there." And then started calling out some of the receivers by name who had been trying to sow dissension on the Nick vs Williams stuff. Said he crawled up Fred Ross' ass pretty good.

I have not attended a State game in awhile since I live far away, but the most frustrating one for me that I attended was South Carolina in 2011. I thought we would win at least 8 or 9 games after the 2010 season. I traveled from Pennsylvania to see that one and it was one we really blew. We should have won that game and I believe lost 14-13 or something along those lines. That game made me question Mullen more than any game during his tenure. Just watching on TV, the worst games were UK 2018 because what I knew about Moorhead showed up to be true. It was just as bad in 2019 when we lost to KState at home because when we hired Moorhead I wanted Cohen to hire Kleiman as our replacement for Mullen. The 2021 Egg Bowl was frustrating too because even though Ole Miss was the better team, it seemed as though we were not prepared. We have been so bad the last two years I wouldn't say I have been "frustrated". While in college, 3-2 was definitely the worst or Tulane 2006.

1. Tulane post-Katrina under Croom. Everyone talks about Machine, but that game was worse.

2. 08 Auburn. Final score: 3-2. Enough said.

3. 09 LSU. Y'all have covered it. Give Dixon the damn ball.

4. 09 Houston. Refs absolutely stole it, cost us a bowl game.

5. 99 Bama. Phantom holding on the Pig Prather punt return. Game completely swings on that call.

6. 18 Florida. Jughead gets embarrassed and exposed as a fraud by Mullen.

Not ranked in order of anger, just how they came to my mind.

OK who can ever forget the BYU game at home. Talk about bad officiating with the Sunbelt officials and the dirty SOBs from BYU.

Damn, is forgotten that one. Another one the refs absolutely stole. Beat the hell out of them in Provost the next year, though.

I’m a dinosaur but this was AWFUL, ranked up there with the end of the season the DOGS hit #1. Bellard never learned when the DOGS have a foot on the neck of a rebel defense you score a td instead of going conservative to try a fg.........

It was losing to Kentucky that year for me. My wife said i was being a huge baby after that game but she didn?t understand the Dan years were gone for good and not coming back. Florida just made it even worse

That game let me know Moorhead was a dumb ass but we still controlled our destiny. Plus UK was good, we were at their place, and we really only got beat by their d-end who was un-blockable.

I really think the GT game was many players not wanting to get hurt on D impacting their NFL draft stock. GT with the blocking down at the knees. Our O was good that game, I think Dak set an orange bowl record. Our D never tried to stop the option and that dirty blocking tactic GT used.

But yeah I was really mad about that followup from the egg bowl.

We literally did not have a DC in that game and were trying to defend the triple option which you never see anymore.

I was in the stands and ever since I still get a little ill when I see the triple option.
