That's sad, considering what a poor 8-5 team that really was. The highlights of season were beating Bama and then the Ole Miss Meltdown which put the skids under Orgeron.

I remember USA Today praising Miss St for hiring Sylvester Croom, saying it was "groundbreaking" and praising the teams' diversity consciousness. What a joke that turned out to be.

2005 Sugar vs WVU (L)
2006 Peach vs VT (W)
2012 Citrus vs Nebraska (W)

I was there when America was introduced to Pat White and Steve Slaton. That sucked.

The comeback vs VT was fun.

The shootout vs Nebraska was just entertaining football. Murray threw for 450 and 5 TD against the #1 pass D in America.

I attended every BCS championship game that Saban got Bama to plus I went to the sugar bowl against Oklahoma after the 2013 season. Last year I got cheap tickets to the peach bowl against Washington. I will be in Atlanta for the FSU game and I am ashamed at how much that trip is costing me.

2003 Sugar bowl (W)
2005 Peach bowl (W)
2006 Sugar Bowl (W)
2014 Music City Bowl (L)
2015 Texas bowl (W)
2016 Citurs Bowl (W)



The BCS title game was the best for obvious reasons. But beating ND and Miami is up there.

Nashville was prob my fav trip since I had never been. But losing and chavis sneaking out the back door put a damper on things.

What happened back in 2005? Y'all looked like the best team in the land the first seven or eight games, then the loss to Florida, a bye week, a one point loss to Auburn, and then that Sugar Bowl shocker. Was 2005 the beginning of the end of the Richt era?

95 Independence - fair
97 Independence - good (cold)
00 Peach - great
01 Sugar - fabulous
02 Cotton - ugh
03 Sugar - epic
04 Cap One - heartbreaking, but fun
05 Peach - awesome
06 Sugar - great
07 BCS Sugar - life changing
08 Peach (chicken sandwich) - great
09 Cap One - heartbreaking (wet)
10 Cotton - great
11 BCS Sugar - fun, disappointing
12 Peach (chicken sandwich) - ugh

Best is hard to say-

03 & 07 Sugar for Championship were most important
00 Peach, 01 Sugar, & 04 Cap One were best overall fun

Win or lose, it's always a great experience!!!

but wins over Miami, the Oohi State, and Notre Dame are always sweet.

That's why "crowning jewel" is in sarcastic quotations. Croom was the worst head coach I've ever seen. I've heard people say," he was/is a good man though", but I've heard several(mostly black) of his former players personally say they can't stand that SOB. His hiring was the biggest farce in MSU history.
