That score says it all for me.

My Dad and I were listening to the game on the radio. I'll go ahead and admit that I am 3 years past the age of 40. I still feel 25 , but I guess that makes me an old guy on this board.

Anyway , I remember the score being 3-3 at halftime and Our feeling was like most , that Bama would find a way to win the game. I was 14 and already a huge fan of MSU as my dad has raised me to be. The thing is , I did not realize how huge it was to beat Bama back in those days. I knew We were not suppossed to win , but I didn't know it was as big as it was until I saw the headlines the next day. They probably wouldn't be much bigger if Crist returned.

I still remember my Dad grabbing me by my shoulders and shaking me so hard that if I had been a quart of milk He would have churned me into butter. As He did , He shouted as loud as I have ever heard his voice " I have been waiting for this one all of my life!"...

1996- have to watch it on TV from home (out of state at the time) due to recent birth of son
2007-said son goes ape shit during the run back and beats the hell of me and his grandfather sitting on the other side of him.
Also 2007-
There was a elderly guy who sat in front of us in 2007 that had to walk using a quad cane, after the run back
and things start settling down, he is nowhere to be found. He winds up like 10 rows down from us in the aisle. We have to help him back to his seat
We were like, WTF, did you fly down there? He never stopped smiling.

My wife and I went to the game along with a friend who is currently a Judge in South Mississippi. I will protect his identity. This is the only time I have been there to a game. I too had too much to drink. Got upset a bit by the shellacking we were taking and tired of the Bama fans. Kinda went overboard...am embarresed to think about it now....but I did get in their face.

The following week the Reflector had an editorial about how rowdy the Dawg fans were...we really rang those bells...and were really vocal. They mentioned ther was one who was way out of bounds. I always thought it was me.

Would not do it again...but I would love to have something to crow about tomorrow night. Most of their fans are pissing alumni who never went to school there ....or yankees who want to be a part of the Southern party experience.
Most Alabama people go to Auburn. Ole Miss has that same drawing...punks from out of Mississippi who want to party...and dream that they...

I was in the 5th grade and was a huge fan but haven't been to too many State games to this point. I don't remember much about pregame except the parachuter nearly dying and some Bama band member that fell in a hole on the sideline after halftime, which delayed the start of the second half too. We win and watch the goalposts come down, so now me and the family are ready to head that way. Some nice event guy had already opened the gate onto the field so we all kindly walked out there to see our drummers going nuts at midfield with some great beats to keep everybody still there dancing and then a drunk guy (who was dancing) began to moon the 20 or 30 of us standing there. But I saved the best for last. As were are FINALLY leaving the stadium heading back to the car, we pass the Bama cheerleader van and the majority of them were squalling (we all know that's a totally different type of crying, and yes that included the males). Great times.

Oh and just a...

We had brought along a friend who was not a particularly big state fan and wasn't a state student. Well we win the game all get's crazy in the stands and we are all celebrating watching everyone spill out onto the field. We yell and scream for awhile, watch the goal posts come down and stagger out to the vehicle.

We get all the way back to the apartment before we realize we left our friend, who was not from Starkville, at the game. We had no idea where he was. A couple of hours later he comes back and says, "get your truck". We load up and he directs us to drive to that big white house by the bridge near campus.

Apparently he had gone down to the field and was one of the guys carrying around a goalpost. He says it was him and a FIJI that were the last two holding the post so they agreed to split the post in half. Since he didn't really know where to carry it he saw the white DG house and thought he'd disguise it there right out in plain...

I stormed the field with everyone else as a freshman, and managed to snag an endzone pylon. Afterwards, I was the Reflector writer picked to interview LT. He was more than friendly, and his biggest worry was about getting new goalposts installed in time for the next home game. I did ask if the win was worth the cost of the damage, and he said he'd take the win again in a heartbeat. I offered to return the endzone pylon if they needed it, but he told me to keep it. One of the highpoints of my opinion of the guy....it would be a few years before that started to slide. Next issue, I found out my work had been used in a joint article for the front page. Highlight of my brief journalistic career. Still got it framed somewhere.

how in Hades we won that game. I think Alabama had something like 8 NFL players on their '96 defense. And some guy named Su. Alexander or something.

in pursuit of worthy celebration after the '96 Bama game. I was about to have knee surgery (and also thought I had a chance with the hotness that was Bama's engineering ambassadors president sitting by me, "thought" being the key word there) so I stayed in the student section during the postgame activities, but also witnessed at least half of the students almost brilliantly clear the top chainlink fence on the east side.

Chunks of clothing, blood/flesh, hats, shredded cups...you name it, it was hanging off that fence after the game. It was like the Berlin Wall during a power outage when the final horn went off. Awesome experience.

Drunk as hell from tailgating. Carried two sixpacks in my heavy coat with my then fiance (now ex) and friend. Freely drank beer in the stands without anyone bothering us. Had extra tickets so I left the game at halftime to get more beer. Kept mockingly yelling a ten-second-long "Roll Tide" after every Bama f up and State score thereby thoroughly irritating the Bama fans surrounding us--too drunk to care whether I'd get the shit kicked out of me (or perhaps get sat on by the fatass Bama fan directly in front of me). Taite managed the game well and led State to a close win.

I had just graduated with a EE degree in May of 1980 and joined a Silicon Valley high tech firm. I was in Palo Alto, CA on the day of the MSU / Bama game (attending an internal training class) and a local co-worker of mine invited me to a game at Stanford University. I had the opportunity to see John Elway versus Oregon State that day. The attendance was so-so and my buddy kept telling me about how great their halftime band show would be... I was thinking, "Halftime show? Pac-10 football is a joke, but that Elway could sure sling the football".

My buddy had just graduated from Princeton, so he kept ragging me about going to MSU.

The biggest cheers of the day occured when they announced the Mississippi State / Alabama score. They announced it early and often and the crowd roared when it was a final...

I told my buddy that MSU would kick Princeton's high-IQ asses on the football field as well...

but he didn't have to do it very often because he usually won. I read that he congratulated the LSU players in 1982. Maybe he just did that in his older days when he was the Legend.

Cold as a Mother17er. Like Frances said I think it was 2 or 3 skydivers that came in and 1 face planted right there in front of God and everybody. I was in the 6th grade at the time. That was the first time I smelled the sweet nectar from Kentucky and saw goal posts ridden to the ground. A hell of a first game to go to.

And yes, I still have blisters on my hands from ringing my damn cowbell so much that night.

Also, about 2AM, me and a buddy ate at Krystals with Nikia Greer. RIP, Krystal.

That took us to the game. Left at 8 am and there were a hundred great stories from that day. The short of it was the bus drove 40 mph and we got to the game just at gametime and everyone on the bus was hammered, not just drunk, but f*#ed up drunk. No one had eaten breakfast and we all started drinking vodka/whiskey at 8 am. It was one of the greatest games in MSU history and I have no memory of it except standing on the field after the game. The good old days!

All this talk about sidewalk alumni and etc. There has got to be some good stories out there.

Mine.......best I got....1999....went to Tuscaloosa with a good friend and Bama fan (yes, he went to school there). Anyway, he takes me to a tailgate. There is another State fan there with his Bama friends. So, this State fan and I kinda watch out for each other. Well, he was bold enough to have his cowbell and he kept ringing the hell out of it. Well, the State fan gets a few in him, gets a little tired, and starts getting careless with the cowbell.....leaving it on the table, chair, etc. So, the Bama fans start hiding it. However, they did not notice I was paying attention. So, when the dude starts looking for the cowbell, I casually tell him where they hid it. He finds it and goes off again ringing the hell of it. This goes on quite a few times. Until, this one Bama guy is getting visibly pissed that the State fan keeps finding the cowbell. So, he accuses his brother, Bama...
