Same here. It would be awesome. I think MSST will be very motivated today.

Can't believe the empty seats there. I know bowl games don't draw sometimes, but this looks bad on TV.

Back 2 back runs for MSU? Say it ain't so.

They are going all out to honor Leach. Love that they put his photo on the deck of the pirate ship

My thoughts also. If the Vols were there that place would be packed. Maybe not full. But 75% full for sure.

Miss St fans appear to have made the trip (by the sound of the cowbells) but not sure about Illinois. They aren't a football school, and it's a much longer trip for them to get down there.

Man that sucks

Rogers throws a pick on the goal line. Yikes.

It’s a game on a Monday where everyone has to go to work the next day, all the way down in Tampa, and one of the teams is a comparatively smaller brand from over 1000 miles (a 15 hour drive) away. It’s just really not a great overall combination of situation for this type of bowl game, unfortunately (though I would venture to guess it’s probably the first part having the most weight/impact today).

While cooking breakfast this morning I said Go bulldogs. My daughter looked at me and said "gross." I then explained which dogs I was cheering for and why. Ha!

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

I have no idea if that’s in or not

 

[Proud Army Wife]

It’s in! Yayyyy!

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Stupid penalty

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Another sack, time for the bulldogs to commit another stupid penalty and keep the drive going

I hate those stupid bells

Coming down the wire, let’s see if the bulldogs can score some points and avoid overtime

 

[TrueOrange]

Pretty much just milking clock and setting up a FG in the middle it seems.

Edit: Nm, took a shot to the endzone

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

1st and goal with 12 seconds left from the 2

I’m pretty sure everyone, including the RB originally, was expecting him to go down in the middle of the field. Then when he realized everyone else - including everyone on the defensive side - had paused and no one had actually come for him, he changed priorities and took off.
