"I think we must embrace what happened here in the late 90's and early 200's, that's part of the tradition and maybe that is why they won. Maybe they weren't bigger and stronger but they had a passion for this place and the game."http://www.bulldawgjuncti...s/story.php?article=2520 That's just good to hear.
I support the two most frustrating teams in America: The New Orleans Saints and the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Floyd Seneca Womack was indeed bigger and stronger.

Just the fact they are embracing our successful run from 97-2000.

was how shitty we are, were.
I greatly appreciate how Mullen & Co. have been so positive and aware of what happened here not so long ago. |

much about Jackie's players to say "they may not have been bigger and stronger". If there was anything Sherrill had it was bigger and stronger
players. Now they may have been as slow as Christmas but they didn't lack for size and strength.

where the average weight went up when you included the tight end.

was a TE that was listed at 280 or something like that, but it was closer to 300. Brandon Mann wasn't exactly a lightweight either.
I love that 94 team. We had Taite, who was a decent QB that year. Moulds was awesome, and then we had Chris Jones who was solid. But the heart and soul of that team was the o-line- I think only Nebraska's was comparable- Brian Anderson, Jason Wisner, Jesse James, Purvis Hunt, and Melvin Hayes. And then you throw in the TE's- Kendall Watkins and occasionally Mann. And on top of that, we had an NFL FB in Fred McCrary, who would lay out LB's and then we had Micheal Davis and Kevin Bouie who were both 230-240 pounds a piece. They would just plow over people- and then if we had third and long, you just throw it up to Moulds. I remember the Egg Bowl that year- with all the fog in Oxford. Bouie and Davis had some ridiculous rushing totals, and we only got 21 because we kept turning the ball over- it could have easily been 49. That team was awesome. "Because just being good kids who make good grades isn't good enough anymore."- John Cohen
"This league doesn't care how hard you try. This league cares about having real players who can perform certain skills. If you try to throw a fastball in and you miss the middle of the plate, the league doesn't care that you're a really good kid. The game says you better execute the pitch." - John Cohen |

Just so everyone knows... when I was talking with Coach Hevesy he was giving them credit for playing with passion for the game of football. He didn't know
a lot about the teams back then except that they played hard. He suggested that the passion they played with gave them the edge they needed to win... it was
the little things like the DPR that help give MSU a swagger and confidence.
He wasn't saying MSU was smaller or less talented... he was simply saying that the love for football could have been what put MSU over the top during that time. |
