On this day....

On this day 10 years ago, Michael Henig threw 6 interceptions as #2 LSU shut out MSU 45-0 in Starkville. MSU had 10 yards rushing.

Paraphrasing what Dak said the other day, some of us don't know how good we have it.

Hail State

[Reason2succeed]

Amen. That was one of my worst moments as a bulldogs fan. Also high on the list were

1. The loss to Maine.
2. The loss to La Tech. (I became unhinged at their stadium. Yes, that was me.)
3. Every time we've loss to OM.

WOW! Winston Churchill say, historic day indeed.

[BrunswickDawg]

I will still never understand how that team won 8 games. The defense was pretty salty - 18 INTs was just unreal. But the offense was essentially Boobie Dixon falling forward for 3 yards on every single snap. God knows we couldn't throw it.

A few days before the '08 La Tech game, my wife had bought me a new watch. It wasn't much. We were dirt poor back then. Maybe a $100 total Bulova. At any rate, we were both in college, and I was damned proud of that thing. I got so enraged when we lost that I pounded my fist on the top of a chest-of-drawers and broke the watch. What a shit day. Thanks a lot, Croom.

Makes one be THANKFUL for our Coaches and B. B. (complacence office) without his due diligence where would we be?

[TrapGame]

Didn't Henig get hurt that game? Talk about insult to injury.

Henig got hurt every game. Be more specific.

Ha! Very true. Wasn't this the first shoulder injury? Then he played a few more games until the game he broke his clavicle.

I take it South Alabama would be #4

I will say Henig was a tough SOB to keep going back out there. If Croom would have been able to turn over the offense like he did the defense then he might have been here a few more years. Thank God he didn't. We got very little backlash from firing him because of his incompetence on offense. You are another level of shitty when you don't break the 100s in offense for 5 years straight. He also did that with Boobie who ended up as the career leader in rushing.

Was this the year that Wes Carroll just basically handed it to Boobie and don't throw Ints?

That bird weighed about as much as he did also. It looked like Holloway back there trying to play QB.

[Reason2succeed]

We have walk ons better than Henig now. I'd take Rip Kirk over Henig every day.

Amen to that. He took more punishment than any QB I've ever seen. I think jRock or Boobie (the RB) actually called a TO for him when Henig was standing there getting ready to take a snap and he noticed that Henig couldn't raise his arm. Didn't come out. Just gotnup with a broken bone, called the play, and walked up to the line. Dude was a warrior.

Yep, Boobie and Ducre made Kentucky's DL look jr. high school level that year. Rich Brooks got Croomed that year.

[Pollodawg]

Speaking of '07, wasn't that the year Brandon Cox (AU QB) threw four ints, and we returned two of them for TDs? We beat AU for the first time since 2000 that day. We also beat Bama that year, kicked off by a 103 yard int return. Wild.

[confucius say]

I'm still amazed croom never figured out he could go 6-6 with his defenses if he just would have ran the zone read with Omar Conner and Norwood/boobie

[Pollodawg]

Best moment of the whole Croom era was him waving that M State flag in OM's face.

The read option was Chinese to Croom. He was stuck in 1973.

Haha. Your watch got Croomed.

To rephrase, in a slight Cristilism: "The read option didn't have a Chinaman's chance..."

That one game sucked, but that season wasn't terrible. 2007 squad was better than 2 or 3 of Mullen's teams. Its not like we are looking back on Maine or Tulane.

I agree with this statement. We weren't competitive against Alabama last year. If they hadn't substituted in the 2nd half, there's no telling how bad they could have beaten us. Our OL was dominated and poor Fitz had little or no time to throw.
