Given the stage, given the opponent, given last year's result, you could make a strong case for it... Final Four in '96 is the only thing to come close in the last five decades.
Very happy for our basketball women...whatever happens in the Final, they have made memories for a lifetime.
We did play for the National title in baseball but ending the streak definitely puts this as #1 to me.
Going to Atlanta is in there too, that's the top for me, so far.
Yes. Without a doubt.
The men's team has nothing on this game. This is hands down the best single victory in any MSU sport!
Win the natty and it'll be the best team ever (even in a loss, it will be near the top).
Agree, had we not "end the streak," it would be tied with baseball's World Series run in 2013, but ending the longest winning streak to one of the greatest dynasties of all-time definitely places this at the top of the mountain.Quote:

I hope so. We've beat 2 teams in a row that are better than South Carolina. Just gotta do itQuote:

It absolutely is. People's emotional investment in the men's sports may lead some to argue, but there is no question that from an athlete's pesrpective we have never had a bigger accomplishment.Quote:

Easily. It's one of the greatest upsets in any sport of all time.
My top sports wins in no particular order:Quote:

4) Making the Championship series in baseball in 2013.
5) Beating Arkansas in 1998 to win the West and make the SEC Championship game.
6) This win tonight.
Tonight is the biggest win in Miss State history. It's not close.
This is equivalent to the miracle on ice.
No particular order and all equal in my eyes:
tonight
98 Arkansas football
2014 Auburn Football
6-3
1935 (I think) Army football
1991 LSU basketball
1996 Cincy basketball

Uh no, it's been going non-stop for close to an hour now. Nothing else in the sports world matters except our Bulldogs!Quote:

It's absolutely huge, but maybe not big as miracle on ice. I don't think the tension between us and uconn comes close to the us and the old ussrQuote:

Well that has a lot to do with the insane media coverage everything gets now.Quote:

Let's finish the job Sunday and bring home the hardware!
This win, however great, did not put us in the CWS. We still had to beat FSU the next day 4-3. Jon Shave won it with a 2-run single (that scored Cohen and Raffo) and Bobby Reed caught a line drive to his face to double up Eduardo Perez.Quote:
