I was in Greenville, MS attending my little sisters wedding that day. On the drive back to Madison, that evening, I tuned in Jack Crystal and listened to that game. I have never been so aggravated in my life. I am surprised I made it home without ripping out the dash board in the car. ARGH!

I sure do miss Jack!

I think that is the only time I've seen BOTH fanbases leave the stadium with their heads down.

Semi-hijack:

How would we remember this game if we'd kicked a FG as time expired to win 5-3? Just as bad, or would it have flipped to good? Remember that Auburn was (mis)ranked in the top 10 at the time, so it would have been a pretty big deal to win at all.

I watched that shit on TV and just hated it. It was cringe. One of the worst games ever played

It's crazy that after that game Iowa decided to build an entire program dedicated to that game.

It does seem like they have a final score involving a single digit 2, 3, 4, or 5 about every other season doesn't it?

I’m not sure which was worse for me in person. Tulane 2006 or Auburn 2008. Tulane 2006 was when I was officially done with Croom. I still held out some hope until that game. I think I was so mum by the 2008 3-2 game I just had 0 expectations so I wasn’t even angry. And no Croom did not win me back in 2007 because I knew that was all Johnson’s defense and that we would be back to bad in 2008. I really did want him to do well in 2004 and 2005 and games like UF and the 2005 Egg Bowl gave me hope, but I knew Tulane was the final straw. I will say Croom at least had me more sold than Moorhead. I was instantly done with Moorhead after Kentucky 2018 because at least Crooms teams were not that undisciplined they were just mainly low on talent and a poor offensive approach to modern day college football

A friend of my dad's came to that game. He died the next year. It was the first and only time he got to watch a Mississippi State game in person.

I hate that for him.

I was done with Moorhead after the Florida game 2018.... you HAD to beat Dan Mullen .

Maybe the hat was straight and not the head.

I think Auburn 2008 was the final straw that got Croom so it has that going for it at least ... I heard that Byrne wanted to talk to Croom after the game and Croom turned his back and walked away... Byrne realized it just wasn't going to work ... not sure if that's what actually happened but it's what I heard

I had heard years ago that Byrne told Croom he could stay if he brought in a spread OC to keep up with current college football. Croom flat out refused to fire Woody and go to a spread offense. Byrne told him he was fired then.

My late Dad carried me to my first State game at Memphis (Crump Stadium ?) in 1963 when I was 8 years of age, a 17-10 loss in a 7-2-2 season. I have seen a lot of losses since then but still consider this 3-2 game the most inept display of football by two"SEC" teams that I have ever seen. Wasn't this also Croom's last game the "I didn't see that coming" 48-0 loss at OM when about 3 of our QB's were almost killed?

This^

The rare time another game was just as important as the Egg Bowl. The one game you just could not suffer to lose.
