If this doesn't get your heart pumping you're doing it wrong.

That would be better had we won the game.

Cochise, as always, I agree with you 100%.

It was still pretty incredible being there at that moment in time. Just awesome. I had a bunch of non-MSU friends texting and calling me to tell me how incredible the game and the atmosphere were on TV. That was a 95% great night.

This, all day.

Remember this catch from the 1994 Alabama game when Eric Moulds made a superhuman leap to haul in a touchdown? Probably not, because we lost, a fact that made the Moulds catch a sad footnote rather than a treasured highlight.

*Aside: Those of you too young to have seen Eric Moulds in person really missed out. Here's a magical play from a game we won - a Moulds catch to convert on fourth down on the drive that won the game. He was running wide open, pass is high and behind him, he brakes, jumps, catches. Amazing.

The quality of both of these videos looks like something from WWI. It looked a lot more impressive in person.
The footage hasn't degraded over time - It looked just like that then, too. Thanks, Jefferson-Pilot.

Moulds was unbelievable in his day. Imagine him on this year's team. Wow.

I've been a State fan all my life so I guess I've had to learn to separate my enjoyment of each experience from each individual outcome. Just like the WBB Championship game, the CWS, the Orange Bowl, all of that...those were awesome experiences whether we won or not. Just the thrill of those moments was worth the investment. Winning would make it better for sure, but they are still great memories.

I won't argue with that.

As you see, I've never forgotten them myself.

Honestly this was never an issue before Jake Wimberly’s Affliction-wearing *** made it an issue. A majority of the fans enjoy it. While it is not unique it is a cool thing we do and I hope it continues. Some have to hate hope and pageantry if they dislike DSB.

Meh I just remember Mullen blew it. I guess I’m doing it wrong bc I associate that song with painful losses like that one and when we played it while getting blowed out in the last 2 Egg Bowls in Starkville. There were still idiots waving their phones singing and swaying while a few of us were pissed that a Matt Luke coached football team was beating our ***. But you know to each their own... Don’t Stop Believing and ****. 😂

So you had totally given up on the game at the end of the 3rd quarter? You sound like the kind of fan players hate, and I hate to sit next to.

And yet ive heard more random comments from mostly non college football watchers about how cool it is than anything else after big games
