This happens about every 10 years or so...

I believe this is the year we have all been waiting on. We are dominating on both sides of the ball. Our offense is one of the best in the nation and is the most balanced. With the depth at WR, our passing game will improve. We have the leadership and experience on offense. We have more talent on D than we have had in years and probably ever. The West is ours to lose. When you look at our schedule you can't say there are any games that we will lose without a doubt. After the butt whipping we put on Florida, every game looks like we have a chance. Ok, I'll say it since everyone else is scared to......13-0. It's possible. More than likely we will be 12-1, but I can't say with any real honesty who we'll lose to. It just seems awkward to say we have a shot at the national title, but we do. If we can stay healthy and hungry we can win them all. There are a few guys on campus that have some rings that have MSU engraved in the stone. After this year, there will be a lot of guys with rings with three letters engraved in them too. Those three letters? Why SEC of course. How long is it to Labor Day? Steve Robertson

this is why Stever Robertson will forever be known as "Rosebowl Robertson"



ETA: Pretty sure they went something like 3-9 that year.
