The truth is that Tiger Stadium isn't what it used to be.

we have gotten spoiled with the big games we've played in the last 8 yrs or so. playing notre dame, playing ohio state, etc. in the "old" days was huge. there was no seccg and no real nc game. also, there were 6 games in Tiger Stadium per year. games where we played the pushovers were never exciting so it boiled down to about 4-5 games a year that were really important. guess it's hard to "get up" for 8 games a year, esp. when they have been somewhat diluted due to the championship games being added. it's ironic but because of our successes, when we travel to Starkville, it's a big game for their fans whereas not so much for us.
