Going for a repeat of 2000?

Was there and it was glorious. Very rare occurrence that a Mississippi State team would get to play in snow. We wore all white that night, and at times when it was snowing hard I could barely see our players. Great game that went to OT. In OT the game was tied 35-35. Faggies score to go up 41-35, but not only do we block the kick we return it for 2 cutting the score from 41-37. State QB Wayne Madkin then ran it in on our first play of OT to give the Dawgs the win 43-41. It was December 31, so me and the wife rang in the New Year at the Bossier City Waffle House after the game.
