re: Which loss would you change for your program

For State I'd change the 2000 Arkansas game. It was a cold, November snowy, sleeting day in Starkville. State is 7-2 and Arky is 4-5. We win and we take the SEC West crown for the 2nd time in 3 years. We are clearly the better team and dominate the first 3 quarters, but we only lead 10-0. Arkansas all of a sudden came alive to tie the game 10-10 late in the 4th. We get the ball and drive for the GW FG. I think it was like a 43 yarder, but we had a dang good kicker in Scott Westerfield. I can't watch, so I turn my back, and all I hear is a thud and another quick thud. The FG is blocked and we lose 17-10 in OT as we are stopped short on 4th and goal from the one. I think this one game caused us to tailspin into almost a decade of futility and eventually led to the Croom hire. I'd love to see how and if things would changed had we won.
