State had to forfeit 19 wins and 2 Ties
Posted by Godawgs4 on 9/3/26 at 4:05 pm
from 1975-1977 because Larry Gillard, a DT on the football team, received a 15% discount at a Starkville clothing store that was offered to all STUDENTS.
It remains the most egregious thing that the NAZI’s err NC2A has ever done in its pathetic history.
And now we look at today at what is happening compared to the total absurdity of what happened to State 50 years ago, it is basically unfathomable.

re: Fun times:Remember when Col. Reb forum shopped & got their QB a SIXTH YEAR of eligibility?

It is pretty obvious that in the present day, college football eligibility has no expiration date. Players can just keep on playing indefinitely.
Oh but there is this rule that says only 5 years. Ha, file suit, get injunction, suit up and play. Rinse and Repeat.
And I am not sure when this madness is going to end.

“Has to really hurt those Bama and Ole Miss fans seeing Nick push Lane towards the LSU job, I don’t think they’ll ever get over it “
Actually I think he did it on purpose because he knows Lane is going to underachieve or find some way to blow at LSU. And thus he will have the last laugh.

Just outside the top ten, I would include Allyn McKeen who was 65-19-3 (77%) at State from 1939-1948. One SEC title and one undefeated season as well.

“I know State's is wrong. The older fans on the State boards used to talk about a time in the late 60's when Houston beat us by more than 70.”
This is correct. HOU beat State 74-0 around 1968-69. And to this day I have absolutely Zero for Houston. Nada. They were throwing bombs in the fourth quarter deliberately running up the score. And they had this pathetic WR named Elmo Wright who would showboat and dance in the end zone after a TD.

Oh I forgot about Purple Drank. Say, wasn't he Lane Kiffin's qb for the Raiders ?”
Russell was to the extreme good in college as he was to the extreme bad in the NFL.

For State, 2024 & 2025 we were awful. With Zach Arnett back as the DC and the talent being better, I look for us to be much improved defensively.
Now, how that will translate into more W’s, I have no idea.
We could be a much improved team with a similar record.
Hopefully, on the defensive side of the line of scrimmage we will be competent again.

How many college teams have you seen?

I have been going to CFB games for 53 years and this is my collection:
State, Ole Miss, Kansas State, LSU, Bama, Auburn, USM, Tulane, Kentucky, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Memphis State, Navy, Missouri, North Texas State, Kansas, McNesse State, Alcorn State, Samford, Arizona, Arizona State, Miami, Vanderbilt, Louisiana-Lafayette, Middle Tennessee, Louisiana Tech, Cincinnati, UTEP, BYU, Oregon, UMASS and I may have missed one or two.
Anyway I saw a FB post about this and thought it would be fun to share. How about the rest of you?

re: Texas A&M unveils new Camo Uniforms for Arkansas game
Posted by Godawgs4 on 8/15/26 at 7:52 am to LSUdude247
I love to hunt and fish but I have yet to see a camo uniform that looks even half decent on any player in any sport.
In a similar vein, I think the black uniforms that State wears are horrible and they should all be burned.
I am good with one throwback uniform each season in the three major sports but that should be it.
Just stick to your traditional colors and you will be classy and good.

Anyone know if State and LSU play next season?”
Yes State-LSU are permanent baseball rivals and will play a three game series next year in Alex Box Stadium.

From a State alum and lifelong fan, my condolences to our LSU baseball brethren on the death of a legend. The State-LSU baseball rivalry is unique among rivalries. Great competition, intense baseball games but a genuine camaraderie between fans. Each program’s fans appreciate great baseball. And Coach Bertman embodied that in a special way. A great man has passed on to that diamond in the sky.

re: Most gut wrenching loss you were in attendance for
Posted by Godawgs4 on 8/8/26 at 5:21 pm to JamalMurry27
State-Bama 1975. We led 10-7 in the fourth quarter. Had a first and goal at the one yard line. Four downs later it was still 10-7. Had we gone up 17-7 we would have won the game. But momentum shifted to Bama. We fumbled a punt, field position flipped and we ended up losing 21-10. Gut wrenching.
State-Ole Miss 1983. Immaculate Deflection.
Gut wrenching as we won the game. The FG was true and splitting the uprights.
But then the wind stopped the ball in mid flight. And then we lost the game 24-23.
State-Bama 1984. We led 20-17 late in the fourth quarter. Bama threw a bomb in which our DB deflected but he fell to the ground and the ball popped into the WR’s hands and he walked in to end zone for a TD. Final score 24-20.
All three games were in Jackson.

BYU
2001 MWC refs stoled the game from State by allowing their 24-26 year old OL’s to bear hug our DL/LB the whole game. Finally late in the fourth quarter they called one holding penalty on them. It was a joke. Even the ESPN announcers commented on it and my wife who is not a football guru was booing most of the game and even pointing out the obvious holding calls that were not called.
All to keep them undefeated.
State led the whole game until the last play of the game when BYU kicked a FG to win it.

Texas Tech did him so egregiously wrong that I was glad he pursued it for years. They should have had to pay him triple / quadruple in wages for the wrong doing they did him.

“ NFL stadiums suck arse.”
I will say our trip to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro was awesome. State played UMASS there. All chairback seats and ample room between rows. Very fan friendly and atmosphere was good as well.

In the 1970’s and 1980’s the Vet in Jackson was a great stadium and I had a lot of fun there. Saw many double headers with State and Ole Miss playing afternoon/night games or vice-versa. Jackson was a great city in those days. That said, games on campus today are much better overall with amenities, stadium comfort and the beauty of each campus. Plus access with better highways, hotels and restaurants etc. are much better in the present day.
In 1973, I saw a college/high school double header at the Vet. State/Ole Miss in the afternoon and that night the Capital Bowl featuring Meridian High against Jackson Murray High (Meridian won).
Also in 1979, Florida/State and USM/Ole Miss played a DH. These are in addition to the aforementioned DH’s.
As I said it was a lot of fun to see these games.
Legion Field was cool as well although the neighborhood was terrible.
Superdome is a fun venue as well!! Have seen a number of games there over the years and have never been disappointed.

re: I've hated soccer forever, but after watching this World Cup final I just have to admit...
Posted by Godawgs4 on 7/19/26 at 6:45 pm to AlligatorEnthusiast
So many American fans fail to appreciate that scoring one goal can be the ultimate great achievement of a player.
Yes we are spoiled by our football that generally sees it each team score multiple times in a game. It is different. I am not a huge soccer fan but when our daughters played many years ago, I made a point of studying the game and the rules so that I could enjoy watching it.
Hosting the World Cup this summer was great for the USA as a part of our 250 celebration. Our men’s team has improved but until we can win the World Cup we will not completely engage our average fans who do not follow the game.

He has played well and even here on Sunday he is still playing well.
Most likely he will finish in the top fifteen or possibly the top ten.
Quite a feat for his first time in that type of situation/atmosphere.

“I think we should all have 3 constant and the other games rotate between teams. Everyone plays everyone in a few years. No clue who would be the constants..for UF I would like UGA, LSU, Tenn/UK but that won't happen.”
That is exactly what the current schedule is.
Each team plays 3 opponents yearly and the other 12 teams rotate 6 and 6 so that over a four period you play those teams home and home (once each).
The nine game schedule has taken care of that situation.
