Im not pumping this team, or downing the 98' team. People like you just need to step off the ledge about this years' team and quit having revisionist history about 98'.

The truth is that the landscape of the SEC changed A LOT from 98' to now, and the West became the more dominant side over the East. That wasn't the case in 1998. The East was WAY better. So us winning the West in 98' was pretty much the equivalent of Missouri winning the East in 2013. Not saying it wasn't a great accomplishment, or that I am not proud of it because I am.

That doesn't change the fact that MSU took advantage of a weaker division to make a run to the SECC Game. We lost 3 regular season games to teams with a combined record of 16-17 in 1998. 2018 has lost 4 games to teams that are 32-8.

18' has been disappointing due to some really high expectations, but it's not the absolute train wreck some want to make it out to be.
