So much pressure on these young kids to end the drought
Funny how it didn't become a "drought" until the last decade or so, if that. It takes a long time for Mississippians to reflect on time passed by.

On the other hand, I think the only other P5 without any national title is kansas state right? Not sure how long their streak is though compared to MSUs 127.
Virginia Tech doesn't have any

We (MSU) had the world champion tobacco spitter back in the 1960s. I can't remember his name, but I shot many many racks of 9 ball with him at the State Pool Hall downtown on University on the block before north Jackson. It was the pool hall Ben Katz owned.

It better be bc I don't see them being capable of winning a natty in football or basketball.

Well, this is pretty questionable. I mean, a lot of football teams back in the day won Dinkel Index and Better Homes and Gardens National Championships, and share claims with 4/5 other teams.
Nobody should get credit for a national championship in any sport if other teams also have a legitimate claim to it.
And let's be honest, nobody gives a damn about a national championship won before 1981, anyway. Bragging about something your team did when your grandfather was still laying pipe seems silly.
