What's Your Favorite MSU SECT Moment

[ArcherSPS]

This is mine:

Being court side when the 96 championship game ended

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

I was there. Never seen a fanbase as pissed as UKs was. It was glorious.

2009 when we had to win it all to make the NCAA...

Being court side when the 96 championship game ended

Beat Bruce Pearl in the finals and we got the 13 seed.

Not the heyday of Stansbury's reign, but a memorable weekend for sure. I couldn't be happier to have Howland, but Stansbury was a helluva guy to have on our side. 17 you, Renardo Sidney.

Great video... I got a little misty at the end... If you watch, you'll get it.

I miss Varnado.

Also, that team was really good at passing under the basket.

Another also, Kodi Augustus may have squandered as much talent as anyone on a Stansbury team.

Bagging on Pitino and the Wildcats with about 40 of my suddenly closest maroon-clad fans courtside in '96 as they left dejected from the court of the Superdome. Probably my favorite MSU moment of all.

 

[PBRME]

Second 1996. That team got hot when it counted.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

I was at the MSU Student Union, waiting for the MSU baseball game to start. About 2:00 left in the game, we were up by 5, I loudly said, "WE GOT THIS GAME...IN THE BAG!!!!" I just about had my *** kicked.

The 2002 Title game vs bama in Atlanta was a damn good one. The height of the Stansbury/Gottfried riff.
Sitting next to a couple of uat fans and watching them get up and leave once they knew defeat was inevitable made it all the better!

I was there that day. The MSU Student section behind that goal on the second floor of the GA Dome.

Some MSU fan had been giving the UK fans below hell all game. They were letting him hear it now that they were up with 5 seconds left.

Gordon nails the three. He starts yelling at them and a security guard comes down to talk to him. The MSU student says he'll behave and the guard walks to the end of the row. The student stands up with both birds in the air and yells at the top of his lungs:

"GO BACK AND **** YOUR COUSIN"

And was immediately escorted out. True American hero, IMO.

Beating the **** out of eventual national champs Kentucky in 1996 is the correct answer. Anything else isn't even close. And that's not because we have had some other outstanding moments in the SEC tournament over the years. That Kentucky team was freaking loaded and is considered one of the best teams ever. 16-0 in the SEC. 34-2 overall, only losses were to UMass early in the season (they beat UMass in the Final Four) and to MSU in the SECT final.

Talking smack as the lone Maroon ranger in one of the many UK sections in 96

Being court side when the 96 championship game ended

My wife was ranger #2, but she was quiet and polite. I'm glad Dontae bailed me out.

Non-SECT on my list:

Beating Ole Miss in 4 OTs (the Hump was rocking), Smoke Burns sinking FTs to beat Ole Miss in 91, Stansbury's chair kicking Ole Miss again, Mario Austin buzzer beating of UK, Derrick Zimmerman beating UM despite the leaky Tad Pad, Timmy B. teasing Bama with fellow road warriors

 

[PineGroveBully]

While not a championship

The look on Tubby Smiths wife's face after J-money hit the 3 at the buzzer is high on the list

I've been to one SEC Basketball tournament from start to finish - 2003 in New Orleans where we lost to Kentucky in the finals. If you ever get a chance - go to the basketball tournament and hopefully State will make it to the finals. It's a fun event.

 

[missouridawg]

Why in the world did that ref think a timeout was being called?

 

[missouridawg]

I went to one. A 26-2 MSU top 10 team got bounced by Vandy in the first game of the 2004 tournament. Atlanta. Never gone back

2002 SECT. Driving over after we beat LSU and randomly meeting a student that came over like my father and I did. Buying courtside seats and beating Gottfried was awesome. We randomly saw the dude at the Orange Bowl and reliving that memory was a blast.

 

[thekimmer]

Yeah that was a bummer but I have been back since....

It was worth going to that game just to see the team get their reg season SEC champions trophy before the game.

2009 SECT championship.

My wife was a teacher at the time, and we had planned a vacation to Orlando during spring break. I didn't even realize the SECT was in Tampa until the first game.

We didn't plan on being in Orlando late Saturday. So we win Thursday and I'm thinking, hmmm. Then we win Friday and I'm like, crap - wish we'd been able to get in town earlier and see the Saturday game. But I don't even mention anything to my wife --- don't want to jinx it.

So we win Saturday and I tell my wife we've got a change of plans. We headed over & bought some pretty good half price tickets. I'd even packed my 2002 champions t-shirt to wear just in case.

Easily a top 5 MSU sports moment of my life. Later that evening we drove back to Orlando, had a nice dinner, and the whole restaurant came outside to watch the space shuttle lift off. Even though we were an hour away it was still awesome to see. Really fun day.

I was there as well, DS. It was fantastic.

Phil Turner had a YUGE game. The 1996 game was one of the best sporting events I attended. Imo, the best college team ever assembled was UK that year.
