I looked back on the records and it looks like the closest one is Croom beating Bama in 2007. Not sure that would qualify for a big national game.

Came close in 2011 with LSU but couldn't finish the game.

A big game or big game for them?

For them would be a tie between Auburn this year and Ole Miss the years it happens.

LSU beat them by 13 last year and controlled the Los the entire game. And the answer is ole miss any year.

Long time reader of the rant, but I had to go ahead and join because all this MSU talk is getting out of hand. Who the frick knows when State last won a big game. Even MSU fans would have to look it up. The spread should be higher for the bama game. I'm predicting a 42-10 win for bama and I'm giving state 10 bc they may get a late garbage time TD. They blow.

Last year's Miss State Championship, over an Ole Miss team with 2 wins.

They better look out. This year it will at least be a fair fight.

When was the last time State was good enough for such a game to matter? 98, 99, 00. Left plenty of you crying in those years...

When was the last time State beat Auburn before this year? 2007.

When was the last time Merlins beat Auburn before this year? Never. Not even as an assistant at Florida.

When was the last time State won 4 in a row against an SEC opponent before this year? Auburn 97-00. Vanderbilt 89-03.

When was the last time State beat Tennessee before this year? 1994.

When was the last time State won in the Swamp prior to 2010? 1965.

When was the last time State beat Georgia at all prior to 2010? 1974.

When was the last time State won it's opening SEC game prior to this season? 1999.

The last time the Yankees were swept in the playoffs prior to this season was 1980. That same year, Mississippi State knocked off #1 Alabama 6-3.

Alot of meaningless "streaks" have already gone down under Dan Mullen. What is left? Of things that actually matter to State fans, the next two are most important(to me personally):
-Win in the state of Arkansas
-Break the LSU streak
Of course, the Ole Miss fans among us will always make up another "milestone" for Mullen, in attempt to use to dismiss him.

I am sure they have had some big games since, but the biggest win in MSU history has to be 1980. They beat #1 Bama and ended a 28 game win streak after back to back MNC years for Bama.

My friend I think the more appropriate question would be have they ever won a truly big game? Beating Alabama or LSU or even the barn in a down year doesn't really count does it?

not really close. We controlled that game and put them away pretty easily in the 4th. They couldn't move the ball on us
