What Is The Happiest You Have Ever Been Leaving a State Football Game

[StarkVegasSteve]

So we got the most angry out of the way, now on to more light hearted memories. What's the happiest you've ever been leaving DWS after a game? I think a lot of us are going to have the same answers but I'll start with mine:


1. 2014 Auburn-Pretty self explanatory and speaks for itself. The magnitude that we were going to be number 1 didn't even hit me until I got back to the tailgate. Just an incredible day and honesty an incredible 7 days in Starkville from the clock hitting 0:00 against A&M and the clock hitting 0:00 against Auburn.

2. 2014 A&M-I left that game thinking we were the best team in the country and it wasn't particularly close. We looked like hell on wheels on offense and our defense was salty at all 3 levels. I really believed there wasn't a way we weren't winning the SEC.

3. 09 Egg Bowl-I remember walking in thinking we were going to get killed. OM had this high powered offense and they were already a shoo in for the Cotton Bowl. We on the other hand were 4-7 and had been outscored 73-24 in the last two weeks. And then Chris Relf happened. Also maybe a top 5 Mississippi State moment ever was Mullen grabbing the mic and trolling OM and Houston Nutt.


There's more than a few I left out. 99 Egg Bowl, 00 Florida, 04 Florida, 07 Bama, 07 Egg Bowl just to name a few.

[NCDawg]

Ole Miss game in '98, when we won the SECW.

[confucius say]

98 Arkansas for me probably. Great game. I was still too young to drive legally.
With Romaro out I was confident we were winning the West the following week.

[confucius say]

Ole Miss game in '98, when we won the SECW.

But OP said had to be leaving DWS. That game was at Mississippi.

[NCDawg]

But OP said had to be leaving DWS. That game was at Mississippi.

You're right. Didn't notice that part. The game was in Oxford, which made it that much better.

[StarkVegasSteve]

But OP said had to be leaving DWS. That game was at Mississippi.

Oh hell I don't care. State fans don't have a whole lot of happiness so if you're best moments are road games then that's good too. Just trying to get us some positive vibes going into football season.

[State82]

Bama 1980

[Bdawg]

1) ‘14 Auburn Easily #1. My head hurt so bad on the way home from noise!
2) ‘00 Florida. Was on the field and almost got a gator helmet. Loved seeing Spurrier throw the visor.
3) ‘98 Arkansas. Toted goalpost off the field
4) ‘99 KY Thusday night ESPN. Westerfield boots a 45 yard game winner. Me and my bud got on the field and shot Crown Royal with a stranger at the 35 where he made the kick.
5) ‘14 aTm Just took it to them and thought this is going to be a special season
Damn this makes me sad to think where we are now.

[Quaoarsking]

There's nothing like winning on the road when the entire home crowd expected to win.

2007 Auburn, 2010 Florida, 2021 Texas A&M

[DawgFromOxford]

2014 Auburn was the greatest MSU game I've ever been to. College game day that morning, torrential downpour right before half time that only made the crowd even crazier, knowing we were going to be #1 in the nation when the clock hit 0s. Good times

[Coursesuper]

14 Auburn.

[AROB44]

Bama 1980

THIS ^^^^^. Not even close.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Bama 1980

60K were there and 300K claimed to have been there.

[Turfdawg67]

Ole Miss game in '98, when we won the SECW.

I was there... chanting "Auburn, Auburn" at the end after JJ dove over the top for a TD. IYKYK

[PGHBulldogBG]

I am not able to attend hardly any games, but Auburn 2014 was the most exciting game as a State fan

[parabrave]

2007 Bama game. AJ is still running with the interception. Watching Saban throw his hat to the ground when AD made that run and watching the bama bus go rolling out to tens of thousands of Cowbells.

[R2Dawg]

2007 Bama game. AJ is still running with the interception. Watching Saban throw his hat to the ground when AD made that run and watching the bama bus go rolling out to tens of thousands of Cowbells.

Hah yeah bout forgot about that one. I had Bama fans that traveled with me and some of them went to car at halftime. Another didn't even get out of car when we stopped to eat on way home. It was great. I heard Roll Tide Roll crap all the way to kickoff then Crickets.

Another one was 97 in Tuscaloosa. I got Tide Pride tickets at 50 yard line in prime seats. A guy from work sold to me; I never said but he assumed I was Bama fan. Another glorious day beating the Elephants as JJ ran all over them. Boy the looks I got.

[R2Dawg]

I've been watching some old games last few weeks to get in the mood if I can. Watched the 13 egg bowl, boy we were really good to only won 7 games that year. I've also watched bunch of Jackie games.

JWS and Mullen put some major talent on the field that we've only seen a handful of times. I'm not sure we have anyone that could make 2 deep on those teams now.

[Pancho]

98 when the field goal was good vs the hogs!!!!!

[DownwardDawg]

2007 Bama was pretty sweet. That was the loudest I had ever heard DWS when Anthony Johnson made the pick six.

[BrunswickDawg]

As a student - '92 Florida. That game was huge, and being the Thursday Night ESPN game was the equivalent of having game day at the time.

As an alum - '14 Auburn and nothing is close. Best part was I had a great MSU friend who was here on the coast on assignment at FLETC. By the end of the A&M game we had tickets for Auburn and our 10 hour road trip and impromptu group reunion planned.

[Goldendawg]

98 when the field goal was good vs the hogs!!!!!

This, as I shed tears of happiness!

[Dawgface]

Easy. 6-3 win over bama in 1980.

I was a student then too. That Thursday night Florida game was insane!!! The Texas game in 1991 was awesome too!!!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Outside of 2014 vs Auburn

2000 Florida, 47-35

MSU kids wrecked Florida and made Spurrier mad

[1eyedog]

The year the ?DOGS? beat the #4 LSU Tigahs in the first night game at Stark. A brutal cold front blew through about lunch followed by crystal blue skies and wind.....John Bond and company kicked a fg to win. The coldest my feet have ever been at a game and maybe the finest display of option football I ever saw. When Sherrill and D Miller beat Eli his sophomore year was outstanding also.

[grinnindawg]

Auburn 2014.

[Coach34]

1998 at Mississippi winning the West. Their fans wouldnt even say shit on the way to the car like they normally did
2014 Auburn- Magical day. Also my sons first game at Scott Field
1980 State vs Bama- didnt totally understand the impact of it at the time being young but my Dad continued to tell me "State just dont beat Bama" the whole 2nd half kinda let me in on it.
1997 over Bama in Tuscaloosa- Bama fans were losing their minds as JJ ran over their ass that day.
1991 Texas- We were already excited with Jackie becoming HC- and then he beat a Blue Blood his 1st season. So much hope and optimism that day

[viverlibre]

Auburn 2014.

Same, with the Egg Bowl where Dak came off the bench to win it (2013?) being second.

[maroonmania]

My top 3:
1. 2014 vs. Auburn (Put us at #1)
2. 1998 vs. Arkansas (Set us up to win the SECW)
3. 1999 Egg Bowl (CJ Sirmones is still open at the 15!)

Those are way at the top but some other good ones in no particular order:
1994 vs. Tennessee
1991 vs. Texas
2013 Egg Bowl
1999 vs. LSU
1999 vs. KY
2014 vs. TA&M
2000 vs. Florida

[BrunswickDawg]

I was a student then too. That Thursday night Florida game was insane!!! The Texas game in 1991 was awesome too!!!

Texas was soooo damn hot, I was too drained to be excited. The opening of the '91 season was a blast. Cal State Fullerton/Texas/Tulane - two blowouts and a huge upset. My first month in Starkville was one long party

[DownwardDawg]

Texas was soooo damn hot, I was too drained to be excited. The opening of the '91 season was a blast. Cal State Fullerton/Texas/Tulane - two blowouts and a huge upset. My first month in Starkville was one long party

It was brutally hot. Then it rained in the 4th quarter and we got rowdy.

I feel like that Texas game is when MSU fans changed. We started believing we were gonna win every time we stepped on the field.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Auburn 2014.

Imagine how Mullen felt that day.

https://media.tenor.com/s6ZAaYxYwzAAAAAM/dan-mullen-nfl.gif

[Bdawg]

Imagine how Mullen felt that day.

https://media.tenor.com/s6ZAaYxYwzAAAAAM/dan-mullen-nfl.gif

Just a shame he didn’t buckle down and lock in to be our coach. How great could it have been if he didn’t start job shopping and just totally focused on us and stayed the course.

[parabrave]

92 when we beat Shane, pull up your socks, Matthews and Fla on Thurs nite ESPN Game. I was in Sec e and spent the entire game looking at a poster the in the Student section "Shane Pull up your socks. Dam that was funny. Only tempered because Sleepy got hurt.

[Todd4State]

This is a hard question because I have so many choices- thankfully.

My personal favorite Davis Wade memory though is the 1999 Egg Bowl. That was my senior year and my last game at Davis Wade as a student and that game was completely epic. It felt like every play was a big play. For MSU to win and to win the way that they did was truly incredible. Tearing down the goalposts after that game was very memorable and honestly that is the best Egg Bowl I have ever seen in my life in terms of excitement. It was Thanksgiving and nothing was open except for the Waffle House and it was fun because several players made appearances after the game. LOL. Everyone was really happy and for me I had to listen every year about the damn wind blowing our game winning field goal back through the uprights and MSU for years up until that time never really had a signature moment game until that game for years. Since then we have the Piss and Miss and Bo Wallace fumbling while Dak came off the bench in 2013 that qualify as special too- but we really didn't have that until 1999.

As far as road win memory I was in Baton Rouge in 2014 and to me, having been there was even better than Auburn a couple of weeks later. LSU is probably the road stadium I have been to the most and the first time I ever saw a game there was 1998 and we lost like 41-7 or something like that. Most of the other games were similar outcomes or worse. But that night I think my friends and I felt like we had more of a chance than usual but I think we were all too afraid to say something because we were worried about jinxing the team. I remember some LSU fan came up to me and said "How are you going to beat us?" and I told him to go in there and find out. My friends were like "shut up Todd!" LOL. But the whole game we would do something good and we would be like "There is a lot of game left." But after we almost blew it and I saw Tavese Calhoun running around like crazy the party in the MSU section was awesome! It was pretty awesome to watch the LSU fans streaming out of the game before the 4th quarter at night in LSU. The funny thing was all the MSU people were celebrating and LSU literally turned out the lights in the entire stadium and there was this sheriff on the field with a bullhorn who made an announcement like "The game is over you have to go home now." LOL. This was maybe 20 minutes after the game ended.

The best bowl memory I have was 2010 against Michigan. Just watching MSU beat the ever living tar out of Michigan was incredible and memorable. And I got seats on the 50 yard line. So it was mostly bowl sponser type people but there were a few MSU fans there too in that section and we were all living it up and having the time of our life. It seemed like our bad plays went for 10 yards. The 1999 Peach Bowl was really good too. I had never seen MSU win a bowl game before until then. And I had also never seen MSU have a season like 1999 before- I don't think I really have since to be honest although 2014 was obviously close. So, it was pretty special to see MSU finish the deal. Clemson's game plan of picking on Josh Morgan was probably not the way to go. LOL. I think he killed two of their receivers. Ironically Rich Rodriguez was involved in both bowl games and the Piss and Miss.

[Todd4State]

Oh- and my friend got some last minute tickets to MSU/LSU 2020. To be there for that was pretty wild watching us set a SEC record for passing yards in a game. I think the only MSU people there were the player's parents girlfriends, and me and my friend.

[Hot Rock]

60K were there and 300K claimed to have been there.

I was not there. I was at work at the grocery store bagging groceries but it was playing over the store radio and I heard the call.

Did you did hear that Bear Bryant killed his wife? Yep, he rolled over in the night and asked her what time it was and she said 6 to 3.

[sleepy dawg]

1) ?14 Auburn Easily #1. My head hurt so bad on the way home from noise!
2) ?00 Florida. Was on the field and almost got a gator helmet. Loved seeing Spurrier throw the visor.
3) ?98 Arkansas. Toted goalpost off the field
4) ?99 KY Thusday night ESPN. Westerfield boots a 45 yard game winner. Me and my bud got on the field and shot Crown Royal with a stranger at the 35 where he made the kick.
5) ?14 aTm Just took it to them and thought this is going to be a special season
Damn this makes me sad to think where we are now.

My top 2 are the same as yours. My 3rd one is your 5th. I wasn't at the other 2.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Not my most happy but ...

2007 dramatic take down of Saban's Bama was awesome. Crooms best season:

https://www.clarionledger.com/gcdn/-mm-/ba63ec937d83822a504ab675a3172e40dfefc6ec/c=0-0-1995-1127/local/-/media/2017/11/10/JacksonMS/JacksonMS/636459276048576767-MSUAla03.jpg

2008 when Dixon and Relf absolutely bitch slapped Houston Nutts rebels. +300 Rush Yards as a team.

[Bothrops]

1987 Eggbowl and 2014 Auburn

[CaptainObvious]

2008 Egg Bowl in Oxford! Because I knew Crooms Crooked Hat and Golf Cart were gone!

[R2Dawg]

1998 at Mississippi winning the West. Their fans wouldnt even say shit on the way to the car like they normally did
2014 Auburn- Magical day. Also my sons first game at Scott Field
1980 State vs Bama- didnt totally understand the impact of it at the time being young but my Dad continued to tell me "State just dont beat Bama" the whole 2nd half kinda let me in on it.
1997 over Bama in Tuscaloosa- Bama fans were losing their minds as JJ ran over their ass that day.
1991 Texas- We were already excited with Jackie becoming HC- and then he beat a Blue Blood his 1st season. So much hope and optimism that day

Good ones 34. I was there as a senior student in 91. TX national TV, bull castration and the mad dawgs on kickoff team. It was awesome. Jackie revived us like no coach has ever done in game 1.

1980 was just a kid but I remember being at a cookout and all the MSU parents running around yelling the score. I knew it was big but didn't realize the gravity of it.

I wasn't at 14 Aub but I was juiced watching on TV. Knowing in 4th quarter I was watching #1 MSU was surreal. Sad that Jack wasn't there to witness and say our #1 ranked Bulldogs. Damn what a game/day.

97 - JJ one of my fav all time RB. Just a bruiser that no one wanted to tackle. Bully ball at its best in 97-98. He just demoralized everyone.

Great thread - need some positive mojo heading into fall.

[Pancho]

JJ ran all over tubby and the sharts just prior to the helicopter ride to the plains. pine box moment

[Coach34]

JJ ran all over tubby and the sharts just prior to the helicopter ride to the plains. pine box moment

What great memories- was at the Nike Clinic in B'ham after Pine Box took the Auburn job. The DL coach and I were about to fight in the Irish Pub in Mountainbrook because I was making fun of them. The other coaches dragged him out the door as I led my only Hotty Toddy cheer in my life. Good times

[shoeless joe]

As a student the florida 04 game is hard to beat...just from the sheer shock of what took place that day
But a very close 2nd is bama in 07

I was there for A&M and auburn in 14 and that auburn game definitely had a different feel that whole day.

My first game to attend as a kid was in 97 against UCF. Every play for us was Hank Flick saying "J.....J......Johnson!" and every play for them "Culpepper's pass". Maybe not a unique or special game other than being my first but it definitely added to my fandom. I'd always had a love for state but actually going to a game took it to another level.

[deltadawg63]

1A: 2014 vs. Auburn. It was the biggest stage in modern MSU football history and we lived up to it. Often, we have failed on that stage but on that day we did not! Dan's emotions post game sure seemed genuine!

1B: 2011 Gator Bowl vs. Michigan: I know Michigan was down but to throttle one of the biggest programs in the nation was awesome! Not only that, New Year's Day in 80 degree sunshine and then the day before to witness Michigan's band playing Hail to the Victors in the parade! By far, my favorite bowl trip of all time!

[MoreCowbell]

99 Egg Bowl. The Kang gave a 10 year old me 2 sideline passes for any game I wanted when my Mom took me to hear him speak at Mobile Country Club. Took my grandpa (RIP), we stormed the field and I got barreled over by Dontae Walker. Awesome memory.

[Tbonewannabe]

1998 - first time I ever helped tear down the goal post. I actually have the LB sign where the LBs were designated to sit on the bench.

1999 - next time that I tore down the goal post. It capped the first and only season that I went to every game. My wife and I were one of the few that stayed for the entire game at Auburn. Guys we road with had the Suv on the sidewalk in front of the gate blasting Bad to the Bone (wouldn't be allowed post 9-11).

2000 UF - another goal post. I helped tear down 3 goal posts but never got a piece of one.

2000 Snow Bowl. That game was like a delirium dream. My buddy got the fullback's gloves he threw into the stands after. Ended up in some cheap motel because you couldn't drive across the bridge to get back to MS.

[War Machine Dawg]

The ones that immediately come to mind:

1. 99 Battle for the Golden Egg. The Catch, The Kick, The Pick, The Kick.

2. 98 Arkansas. Nuff said.

3. 14 Auburn. Nuff said.

4. 2000 Florida. 3rd and 57. "My name's Willie Blade. Don't nobody block Willie Blade."

5. 07 Bama. AJ's Pick 6.

6. 09 Battle for the Golden Egg. Our OL bitch slapped their badass DL and the D wrecked Snead.

7. 10 Gator Bowl. Beating the hell out of a legendary Michigan program.

8. 99 Peach Bowl. Clemson got REKT.

9. 99 LSU. Roll into the endzone, Rod Gibson!

2000 UF, they had -75 yards rushing on the day. It has to be a record low all time. Our DL was wrecking people back then.

3 - 99 teams in your list; as Corso said then we were one player away from competing for a NC, that team was really, really good.

[Coach34]

I was there in 99- messed up leaving that one out. That was magical. Was on about the 20 yard line home side- so watching CJ goes for the pylon was awesome

[War Machine Dawg]

Pretty sure we were seated in roughly the same area. Probably saw you and never knew it.

Crazy how good that 98-00 stretch was. We'd have beaten that damned Tennessee team in 98 easily had JJ been healthy. As it was, it took the refs and a Peerless Price out of bounds 'TD' to beat us.

As for 99, I think part of it was just the nature of the Cardiac Dawgs. Comebacks are always memorable and enjoyable. Looking back, that offense would've been so much better had Amedee not been so stubborn about that stupid three headed monster RB committee. Should've just fed Dicenzo over and over again. I know he was just a true sophomore, but he'd looked good as JJ's backup in 98. No reason to give Chris Rainey so many carries.

If only Fant had been about 3 years older. What could've been.

[Negative Waves]

1996 Bama. Freezing cold but watching State beat Bama for the first time in my life was incredible. Bama always seem to steal the game right at the end so many times back then that it was a shock when we won.

[R2Dawg]

So true on 99. Rainey should have been 2nd or 3rd back. Miller was just a gamer. One of my favorites. So right on Fant, dang another so close. Fant on 98-2000 and we win something big.

[Todd4State]

I would add 1996-2000. In that time span we beat either the SEC East and SEC West champ four times and one of the time we didn't do it - was because MSU won the SEC West. The other season was 1999.

That was Sparky Woods that wouldn't start Dontae or Dicenzo over Rainey. If he had we probably wouldn't have had such a memorable season. LOL.

At least Fant beat Eli in 2001. So he has that at least.

[Todd4State]

1996 Bama. Freezing cold but watching State beat Bama for the first time in my life was incredible. Bama always seem to steal the game right at the end so many times back then that it was a shock when we won.

Yeah. When Alabama had the ball on their final drive I was like "Yeah- they're about to get in position to win the game with a 56 yard field goal with their back up kicker." And then I think Paul Lacoste sacked Freddie Kitchens and I was like "Oh shit. They're out of field goal range. They're going to have to convert a 4th and 17" or whatever it was. Then the Kitchens threw a pretty bad pass that bounced off of their WR who I think was from Clarksdale if it's who I'm thinking it was and that did it. Of course, I was immediately looking for phantom flags for pass interference or illegal mouthpiece on 28 for Mississippi State or whatever else the refs make up against us to bail them out.

[Todd4State]

So true on 99. Rainey should have been 2nd or 3rd back. Miller was just a gamer. One of my favorites. So right on Fant, dang another so close. Fant on 98-2000 and we win something big.

It's an interesting what if. But honestly I really think just starting Dontae and Dicenzo might have been enough alone to beat Alabama and Arkansas. It's not like Madkin was that bad- at least not until 2001 anyway. I mean- he made some pretty impressive plays that were a big reason why we beat Arkansas in 1998. I think Rainey might have been a walk-on.

[Todd4State]

1987 Eggbowl and 2014 Auburn

I wish there was footage of the 1987 Egg Bowl out there. I've heard and think I may have seen the Jesse Anderson TD and I would like to see some of the catches that Fred Hadley made in that game that pretty much sealed it.

[Todd4State]

I was there in 99- messed up leaving that one out. That was magical. Was on about the 20 yard line home side- so watching CJ goes for the pylon was awesome

I thought he was going to walk in at first but then I saw the Ole Miss safety running at him and I was like GO! GO! GO!

Glad he got in.

[tcdog70]

Bama 1980

Yep a no Brainer--if you are old enough to have been there.

[JimBobDawg]

The top two that I think of are:
1. Auburn 2014- The whole day was electric.
2. Bama 1998- J.J. Johnson ran wild that day. He had over 200 yds rushing. Pulled a hamstring late in the game and wasn?t the same the rest of the year.
3. 1998 Egg Bowl- Winning the SECC at Oxford was sheer joy.

[Coach34]

2. Bama 1998- Dennis Johnson ran wild that day. He had over 200 yds rushing. Pulled a hamstring late in the game and wasn?t the same the rest of the year.

I'm hoping you mean James Johnson because Dennis Johnson played RB in the 70's

[JimBobDawg]

I'm hoping you mean James Johnson because Dennis Johnson played RB in the 70's
Yes that is who I meant to say. I do remember Dennis Johnson running wild against Memphis once upon a time. I believe that was in 1974.

I got a slice of the AR goal post on a shelf. Good times back then!!

[starkvegasdawg]

The piss and miss and year we finally beat bama when the sky diver bounced on the field.

[99jc]

When I left with 2 cheerleaders after the Texas game in the 90's...to be continued

[was21]

Probably when Artie Cosby kicked the field goal against Arkansas in 1998?? to send us to the SEC Championship game. It was also cold as hell that day as I recall.

Probably when Artie Cosby kicked the field goal against Arkansas in 1998?? to send us to the SEC Championship game. It was also cold as hell that day as I recall.

Don Smith was money on that last drive. Cedric Coarse and Aaron Pearson led us in tackles that day, and Jeremiah Sangster had a key interception.***

Obvious choice - Auburn 2014.

I think it was 2013 where Bo fumbled going into the endzone in OT and we win on the recovery? There were 2 ole miss girls behind my wife talking noise the whole game. That was wholesome.

Not mentioned I don't think, but Croom's last game against Ole Miss. Yes they beat the ever loving dog piss out of us but I left knowing his stupid ass was gone. Unfortunately that was what it took to get some of our admin's attention.

He was gone regardless. Byrne wanted to go in a different direction. Kentucky 2008 was the final straw for Croom.

Mardye McDole and David Fair really were the difference in the game

No one has mentioned beating Jim Kelly?s Miami Hurricanes in Starkville in one of the damdest sloberknockers ever played......my memory fades but Miami had to punt backed up to their end zone and the The GREAT Johnnie Cooks walked up to the center and whispered a sweet nothing in his helmet and I think he centered the ball over the punters head......If memory serves. If someone else can clarify I would love to remember. A heart stopping ballgame......and Johnnie ?The Maneater? Cooks will forever be the best middle linebacker the DOGS ever had.....JMHO
