Oh shit no don't give it to the senior homegrown David Fair hell no. Let's kick the PAT. And with justice the son of a bitch gets blocked and we lose 17-16.

I believe it was the final straw for Felker and the great Zacharias had seen enough and brought our program to Jackie Wayne. Which in turn brings us to where we are today. Light years from where we were and now a legitimate sustainable football school.

That's my favorite all time play. Thanks Rockey.
I was at that game. I don't think we threw a single pass on that drive. Felker should have had 2 maybe 3 play options for the win as he watched that drive. The only question going through his mind should have been what 2 point play to use based on what au showed. It would have been bad enough going for the tie had our offense been dominated the entire game and we had just gotten lucky on a pick 6 or something. Then we go on to lose the egg bowl and you could hear Rockys tone right after after the game that he knew he had coached his last game at MSU. The rest is history. Those 2 losses were indeed defining moments in MSU football history.
