Mario was one of the best to ever wear Maroon and White. That ‘99 Defense was amazing!

99 and 2000 were great years. I loved beating Florida in 2000. Really good teams and fun to watch. Super physical teams

Mario said let’s get Fred Smoot in the MSU Hall of Fame. Does anyone know how we can make this happen?

 

[Chesusdog]

Mario Haggan is one of my all time favorite Bulldogs. Nothing flashy, just a tenacious hard-nosed player that made a lot of tackles.

 

[StateJCP]

Yep he’s the best! I wish he would have talked about the Arkansas game in 2000 where he got carted out on a stretcher. Does anyone else remember that?

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

I was there for that. He laid still on the ground for seemingly ages, and when they carted him off on the stretcher, he gave the thumbs up. The Jumbotron in the south endzone was focused solely on his hand as he was taken off the field.

Sucks we lost that game. We were far better than they were.
