I could probably give you 2 paragraphs on any game of the Leach Era, but just a couple of sentences on 2023-24 games.
Walking out of the Stadium after beating Louisiana Tech 21-14 in 1988. I had a really bad feeling I had just seen our only win in the very first game of the season knowing the team we just beat by 7 was probably the better team that day. 😳
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..........
Was a freshman in 1961 so I have lost count of the times I've left a game angry and frustrated. Thank goodness I have matured to the point that I no longer get angry or upset. Makes my remaining few years so much calmer.
This thread speaks to all of us as forlorn State fans. It's a hard road.
3 to 2 Auburn sucked all time.... but the light at the end of the tunnel was Byrne realizing Croom had to go, so some solace a little later on
LSU, late 90s in BR... rained the whole time, we sucked that night even though we were the better team. They ran a KO back for a TD, horrible... just horrible. *Bonus: 1997 Egg Bowl when they came from behind, scored late, went for 2 and got it for the win. My eyes were buried in my hands as they scored that 2pt conversion. I knew from the moans what had happened...
Double post
I'm really blessed to have been at MSU from 1996-1999. REALLY BLESSED!
It's funny because high school day my senior year was the day we lost to Northeast Louisiana. My Mom didn't want to go to Starkville or the game so she made me watch ULM celebrate because she wanted me to "know what it was going to be like when I was in school." Then we had our best era of the modern age while I was in school! LOL.
