#15

[Perpetual Underachiever]

Who should wear 15 for Men’s hoops this fall? Dak and Mangum have made wearing one five at MSU an honor, now we need a legend on the hardwood.

Perry or Woodward possibly...

 

[gdawg1229]

We've already had one of my favorite Bulldogs ever wear 15 in basketball...Timmy Bowers.

 

[HD6]

Don't know if you are into women's hoops, but McCowan wears 15. Timmy Bowers did as well.

 

[AlCoDog]

And Don 17ing Smith. My first favorite Bulldog player.

The pride of Hamilton, MS. I'll never forget that 63 yard TD run in 1986 to beat Tennessee in Neyland Stadium. Was a thing of beauty.

You and me both. I was standing in the middle of a cutover in Tishomingo County working on my thesis research project when Jack called it. I was jumping up and down like crazy with not another person around for miles. Has to be way inside my top 10 best bulldog moments.

IJ Ready wore 15...

There is a whole lot of Mississippi State in this post

Awesome

What the heck, it's slow morning. Off the top of my head here's a stab at that top 10 list in no particular order.

1) 1999 Egg Bowl - The tip, the pick, the kick - 1st Egg Bowl attended in person. I've been to 7 Egg Bowls and we won the first 6.
2) Super Bulldog win against TSUN with the record crowd of 15,586 - 10th inning comeback win. Glad my wife doesn't like to leave games early.
3) Afternoons spent on my major prof's hay trailer on the left field line watching Palmeiro and Clark be the best 1-2 punch ever in college baseball.
4) Morgan William winning basket against UCONN.
5) Liberty Bowl win against UCF with Dixon over the top for the only TD of the game.
6) 1st Gator Bowl win, made the trip with my daughter. A great memory with her.
7) The win against Auburn in '14 to move to #1. A side note but the rain combined with the whiteout turned it into the world's largest wet T-shirt contest. Also, Dak's run against LSU.
8) Watching Swat set the NCAA record for blocked shots.
9) 1996 Final Four team
10) Elijah's homer against FSU

Next up is 2018 gator skinning coming up in September.

Great list! You did leave out the moment that started the whole thing (Don Smith), btw.

Funny how these lists are so personal. You've got a few that were no doubt great to any MSU fan, but wouldn't hit my Top 30 probably. Totally respect them as your Top 10 though.

A few I would add (not necessarily Top 10): Grand Slam for Masters (was there), 6-3 (first significant MSU memory), beating LSU in last game of 91 for SEC basketball title (co), that 85 Miami CWS game (terrible outcome, but seared in my memory and great game), Wyatt's AU comeback game, Prentiss's SECCG punt return (another bad outcome, but great play), the entire runup and period we were #1 in football, Renfroe's CWS jack. Hell I could go on, but that's enough for now.

 

[maroonmania]

As did the pride of Battletown, KY. Riley Benock.

 

[Dubs.sixpack]

As did the pride of Covington, TN - Mark Goforth

 

[stateu1]

KP's punt return. Yeah, we lost but still.

 

[G-Dawg]

It's never listed in anyone's Top 10, and I can understand why, but for me, when it rained like hell in the student section and then the sun came out and turned it into a sauna when we beat Texas at Scott Field (can't remember the year, maybe '91?) I remember Rodney Stowers came up BIG in that game. Later in the year, when Rodney died, Pete Jenkins talked about that game and how big Rodney's play was against UT.

Remember it well and it was 91. I think you might have even commented on it under the video below based on the content and GD initials...

6-3 over Bama in 1980 would be no. 1 on my list. I was there (really I was).

I was there for that game too. It was so bad hot and steamy.

I tried to make my memories list all wins. Several others could have been on the list.

 

[whosyourdawgy]

It’s Woodard FYI. I hope He wears 25 like his old man. Perry can’t wear his old man’s number til 2020 tho. Q ain’t giving it up.
