Sure, the Maine loss was very embarassing, but we did statistically dominate the game. I think we had 5 turnovers in the red zone or something like that. Tulane just completely kicked our ass. Tray Rutland started that game at QB and looked completely helpless. Tulane being up 32-7 on us in the 3rd quarter I think was rock bottom of the Croom era. The only reason we made it close was because Tulane's punter dropped a snap in the end zone and we recovered it, and Croom put Omarr Conner in...

I was one of the dozens that actually came back to watch the debacle to its completion after the tornado warning. Anyway, Troy beat the crap out of us. We were never in the game at any point. Plus, there were so many expectations that season that were obviously shot to hell by that point. It seems like the Maine game was lost due in large part to us dicking around and Maine capitalizing on it. Sadly, I dont' think there is a wrong answer on this one.

Tulane 2006 was most embarassing from a performance standpoint. We were playing a homeless Tulane team that was essentially a mediocre 1-AA opponent in terms of talent (and was nearly disbanded the year before), and for 3 quarters they kicked the ever loving hell out of us. Throw in the fact that it was Croom's 3rd game of his 3rd season and that he had been shut out in the first two games of that season makes it worse. I had already given up on him being a successful coach the year...

Losses to Tulane and Houston during the Crooms era.

was the 11-8 win the same game that Fant got hurt when we ran a QB draw trying to run out the clock? My memory feels hazy on those years of JackieBall.

I mean I have sit and been embarrassed many times before and since... but Maine brought a bunch of Div I-AA hockey rejects down here and beat MSU on our own field. Damn. South Panola could have won that game for crying out loud. I sat there that night and knew that 4-5 years of Sly Croom was going to be pure hell... I could forsee it.

It was at home and I am pretty sure that before that year, Maine was one of those schools that has a basketball team but not a football team. I'm not serious about that. But, that was damn near my impression of them. They probably called out on the campus intercom and asked whoever wanted to play football in MS that weekend to load up on the bus, and they would discuss plays on the way.

Freakin' Maine. Damn. I am getting pissed off all over again.

The Maine lose was an embarrassment, but after the previous three seasons, especially the utter shitastic 02 and 03 seasons, I had become adjusted to the losing. I guess I developed an immunity where I just lost all sense of caring. I used to live and die MSU football and, in 2001, I was spoiled because the only losing year I experienced as a student was the 1996 season. Until the Troy State game, we were four points away from being 3-1 and I felt the team could still rebound and sneak into...

That was when I realized that Jackie had lost his mojo and would never get it back. It was embarrassing to see how lucky we were to win that game.

and you are spot on about your description of Gainesville. Shittastic. Told my buddy I would laugh in the face of anyone from northern Florida that ever called me a redneck after driving from Jacksonville to Gainesville. Trashiest place on earth.

...Maine and Troy were both really embarrassing, but the most embarrassing afternoon of football for me was the 52-0 shellacking we took in Gainesville in 2001. It was a long drive there, a dismal and overrated game day experience, a complete drubbbing (including Spurrier getting a late TD for the water boy), smack talk from a bunch of mullet-having, jort-wearing trailer trash, and a long drive home. What a forgettable trip.

I can't believe nobody else mentioned it.

Maine finished 5-6 the year they beat us. Let that sink in. I think somebody (a I-AA team) beat them by like 30 points late in that season.

I forgot about Arkansas State in '93. That was just as bad. That 1993 team would've had trouble beating Millsaps.

In my mind it was the "Thanks for the Check Bowl" vs Tulane.

In the minute possibility that you're reading this Mr Croom-we don't and won't miss you at all
