re: Worst Games You've Witnessed in Your Team's Stadium

1. 2001 LSU 42 State 0. We were supposed to contend for the SEC West. Most had us preseason 15-20 with at least one publication having us 8. Lee Corso called us a National Championship sleeper after beating Memphis on Labor Day 30-10. Then 9-11 hit and we never recovered. Lost to Troy 21-9 (thank God I decided not to go) in the Tornado Game the week before, and LSU fans had Troy stickers on their hard hats and would chant "Troy State...Troy State" when we chanted our "Go State... Go State" cheer. It could've been worse and Saban pulled the dogs off up 42-0 midway through the 3rd. I was in the upper deck and started walking out after LSU made it 35-0 with about 10 minutes left in the 3rd. By the time I got down the ramp LSU had scored again.

2. 2000 Arkansas 17 State 10. We had a chance to win the SEC West. We were 7-2 and ranked 13. Arky was 4-5. It was the Saturday before Thanksgiving and the forecast was partly cloudy and low 50's. Well, I dressed for that, but it ended up being mid 30's with a mix of snow, sleet, and rain. Horrible conditions. I was cold and wet, but State took an early 10-0 lead and with our defense it was as good as over. Wrong. Arky found a running game in the 4th and tied it. We had a chance at a game winning FG from around 45 yards or so(easily in our kicker Scott Westerfield's range) on the last play that was blocked. We lose 17-10 in OT. West is lost. I'm cold and miserable and that began the end of Jackie, as we never recovered or were competitive under him again.

3. 2019 Kansas State-31 State-24. It was freaking scalding hot. The air temp was 99 with a heat index of 115 in the stadium. I was not impressed with JoMo's 2018 8-5 record with one of the best defenses in State history, but was in on giving him a chance. This changed that. KState pounded it down our throats and shoved us around all day. Embarrassing to let a Big 12 team come in our place on a steaming hot Mississippi day and shove it up our arse. Making it worse was their fans mockingly chanting "S-E-C S-E-C" and running around holding up Big 12 signs. Totally humiliating. I told my son leaving the stadium that day that Moorhead was not going to get year three which he didn't.
