About this time yesterday, I was still giddy after
MSU beat Kentucky in the SEC tournament. It seemed like the game was in the bag midway through the second half, and a co-worker commented to me "so, you like your chances of winning this one yet" to which I replied "Oh hell no, this is Mississippi State we're talking about" Well, a few minutes later my pessimism became reality. The game ended in some
unconventional drama at the free throw line. Which seems to be
the main thing about the game that
anyone remembers. An aside here: listening to the game on the big blue network, the announcers bitched a lot about the officiating, and many UK fans have followed thier lead into crazy conspiracy-theory land. Their team didn't have three players foul out. Which team had a player with 18 free throws? Spare me the bias crap. The refs sucked for both teams. Anyway, following the wackiness was an incredible buzzer-beating three by Jamont Gordon that sent the game into OT. Let's have a look.
Nice. Anyway, after a hard-fought overtime, State came out victorious.
Hello NCAA bubble. So much for that "awful" SEC West talk. Yep things were looking good.
So, with so much on the line and in full control of their own post-season destiny, how do my bulldogs respond?
By completely and totally pissing down their own leg. They just get outplayed and outhustled by Arkansas. The Arkansas faithful been so thrilled with their season
they just might fire their coach! Not only that, but the Razorbacks are led by a transfer...FROM STATE! How much perverse Shakespearean crap does one fan base have to put up with? We should have seen this one coming. The glass is half empty, and the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. Hopefully the NIT will give the Dogs some more experience and something to build on. Say it with me State fans: "just wait until next year."
