1999 Egg Bowl

[watdaddy55]

Im gonna say this is probably one of the top 10 comebacks in college football! It was awesome!

[MrTitanman29]

I played against CJ Sirmones in High School, a awesome talent gone to waste, he was lazy in High School with great God Gifted talent, hence his short career.

[morbidemon420]

@MrTitanman29 where'd you play? I was on cj's team

[MrTitanman29]

@morbidemon420 Lewis County

[jasondanielmusic]

Westerfield was a class act. 98 and 99 were great years to be at State.

[massseyman14]

balls

[TheBjack1]

Good times...I'm ready to see what 2010 brings!

[trojanguy85]

from Starkville with love haha can't wait to be there next year

[patwhatley]

I was at that game, too. I miss those years BUT, I'm so glad it's exciting to watch State play again. I can't wait to see what Mullen has in store. Just so I can say I said it... I like Matt Wyatt more than Madkin. :-) Matt had to deal with offensive coordinator who would call a 10 yard play when they had 14 or 15 to get to the first down. anyway, I digress, Good video!

[grayisfoamborn]

3:53 uhoh hahaha

[st1nkyfire]

this was the best football game i've ever attended. I was about 13 at the time.. wow what a game. I was part of tearing down that goalpost.

[dog3croom]

41-27

[wtg2989]

could have been more like 55-27 had state wanted

[alicen639]

Thanks for sharing this video. Amazing! Go State!

[aoddawg]

I like Corso shouting "No, no, no, no!" when McCallister was tryin to make it down the sideline. The man knew who needed to win - that game's possibly one of my favorite childhood memories.

[dog3croom]

Man i miss these days!!!!

[NFL00]

Hope Coach Mullen can get us back to these days.

[RockSmithStudio]

he won't this year due to poor discipline in the past years, but he is an impressive coach.

[ThaFlameofATown]

Best memory of the Dawg Pound Rock I've had. Damn those were the good times, hopefully Mullen brings more in the future.

[msugirl76]

The weather was awful all day, but the game was great!! My son was 7 at the time and I took him out on the field after the game. He is now the P/K for his high school and has the Scott Westerfield print hanging in his room. GO DAWGS!!!!

[HailState22]

With the Mullen era approaching, you can bet we'll see more games like this. Hail State

[willierssll]

that was back in the days when commentators actually gave State a chance to win instead of just writing them off as a loss before the game even starts.

[Linester25]

@willierssll Those days are changing, brother.

[Rebelhater]

i remember that game, i have not missed an egg bowl in starkville ever in my life. the 99 egg bowl is my favorite one. followed by 2007.

[msuthon]

I was there too! Great, GREAT game.. just unbelievable times.

[CochiseCowbell]

God Bless C. J. Sirmone and Scott Westerfield! GO TO HELL OLE MISS!

[netarius42]

I WAS THERE!!!!!!!

[rockthe85deuce]

Man, some TOUGH teams used to come out of starkville. And as a Bama guy, I mean TOUGH! State has always had a good defense, and I feel that with Mullen there, MSU will get back to those days where opponents dreaded playing y'all.

[airforceho]

i wish i can go back to these years. I was stationed at CAFB at the time and loved these SEC games...this is when MSU had solid teams n great defenses. I remember they beat down FL too!

[everitt1976]

DOG POUND ROCK

[Shindler39]

Great game, it was the glory days of Mississippi State.

[woof07]

I made it out to the portal after Pig coughed up the punt...thank you God for second thoughts. Headed back up to my seat and watched the greatest comeback in MSU history.

[ltaylor422]

priceless! i sat through every freezing second of that game!

[acnhs09]

seeing Old Myth lose just simply makes me smile. :)

[navarrebulldoggirl]

Aw, my first egg bowl! That brings back such great memories. I still have a piece of the goal post from that game!

[camokid243]

this video is awesome. go dawgs!

[gbpackersstlcards]

good memories

[hseritt]

Man, im a Bama fan but when it comes to the Mississippi's, I have to pull for State every time. They play with heart ever time we have ever played them. Hats off to you! And it doesnt hurt that I cant stand Ole Miss.

[Brianeli6]

corso hated us then too

[ripleytiger34]

GO STATE!!!!

[ripleytiger34]

GO STATE!!!!

[surferjgl]

those are the uniforms we still need to be wearing

[grahamcano]

Hail to Dear OLD State! The Dawgs stand true to do it again this year. Houston Nutt(in his mom's eye) has no chance against the might of the Crooooooooom.

[osubucks91]

just think how good msu would have been if they would of had a consistent qb from 98-2000.

[prairiesix]

THE DAWGPOUND ROCK!

[dog3croom]

Hail State!

[stevo3221]

i've been to a lot of games a state and that was the loudest scott field had ever gotten

[olemisshater]

i still get chill bumps watching that!! Hell yeah!!!!! GO DAWGS!!!!!!!

[Hailstate37]

i hate how we can't tear down the goal posts now. but we still have our cowbells!!!

[tigerpaw78]

And to show you just how dumb and "Manning obsessed" ole miss folks are, they got rid of Dunn after ONE losing season! That guy got them a Cotton Bowl win! But, you know why they gave him the cut? Archie and Eli "recommended" Orgeron to Boone. Ahhhhh, I haven't seen such shenanigans out of UM since ol' Steve Sloan and his "buttered-up" recruits! LOL!

[MissStFan87]

Dunn? I think you mean David Cutcliffe.

[busterMC85]

LOL! Oh yeah.....where in the fuck did Dunn come from??? :/ My bad!

[mydyingbride907]

Uh no-- Cutcliffe was a horrible head coach who underachieved greatly with what he had.He had to go-- and he would have left anyway for health reasons. Orgeron was picked becasue OM could not attract a top-flight, proven head coach. In part, because they thought OM was too quick to fire coaches. But a ton of OM fans thought Cutcliffe was an idiot from season one--- he lost many games OM should have won through bonehead calls. The debacle IN 2004 was the oppurtunity to firea bad coach.

[RebelNutts86]

@tigerpaw78 Get facts straight. 1)It was Cutcliffe...not Dunn. 2)The Mannings were pissed about the firing of Coach Cut. And they were sure as hell pissed about hiring O.

Also...we didn't fire Cut because of a losing season. He didn't agree to make changes which were greatly needed, so we parted ways.

[tigerpaw78]

Man, Jackie was a great coach, but he left the MSU program in shambles. I really do hope Croom can clean up his mess and get y'all back into the mix! So far so good! Good luck this year!

[Maestrohbill]

This game was insanity! I got it from somebody because I simply couldn't believe what I was watching. That and the 99 Auburn game were absolutely nuts.

And that snow bowl in Shreveport. I'm not even a Bulldog fan, but i found it funny. (I lived in Columbus 1971-75, 1979-32, 1984-91, 1997-2001)

[woof07]

Ahhh, a heart-stomping victory over Ole Miss and helmets that don't suck. Greg, take a good look at what MSU uniforms should look like. They don't involve white helmets or some stupid ribbon in the logo.

[MissStFan87]

Well said. Would love to have those back.

[BigOobie23]

@woof07 sorry, but you're heavily mistaken if you think he reads this comment board.

[Linester25]

@woof07 THANK GOD the jerseys are back to normal...they are freaking awesome now....I'm hoping Ol' Dan keeps them on track this year....We lost Sherrod, White, Wright, McPhee, and Brignone, but have some good players to replace them...if the way some of the kids have been coached up since the new crew has rolled into town is any indication of how that will translate to the current underclassmen....our chances look pretty decent...He's still a few years away, but got it going right!

[thehilitereel]

HOW BOUT THEM BULLDOGS? i still miss jackie

[nsinquefield]

I helped bring down the field goals and cut it up into pieces at the Pike House the next day. I am moving offices and came accross this old hunk of metal and came here to relive that momment. GAVE ME CHILLS!

[thehilitereel]

oh and i miss these maroon uniforms too, lol.

[thehilitereel]

god i miss coach jack

[wes2340]

we did it on the 50 yard line before the game although i would love to see it return to the sidelines or even out on the field i dont think it will happen

[usrangers1]

we should bring the dog pound rock back

yesterdays game was the same w/ us comin back in the fourth to win

[MissStFan87]

They do it in the locker room, following wins. slickdawg has a video on here of it following the Alabama game.

[ThaFlameofATown]

This year's Egg Bowl has just topped the 1999 Egg Bowl.

[MissStFan87]

The ending today felt like 1999. I thought about that before we kicked the field goal.

[c2kghost]

Ironically enough before the kickoff of the 2007 game, a fellow alum and I were chanting "Man wide open!...CJ Sirmones.....Touchdown!!!!"

I still get motivated watching this clip to this day. Thanks for posting!

[ThaFlameofATown]

3:50-4:04 = Crunkest that I have ever seen Scott Field.

[c2kghost]

Until the 2007 Egg Bowl :-)

[jccavalier34]

what the hell happened to madkin?

[thedawgfan]

Go to hell Ole Miss!!! GO STATE!!! MAROON WHITE, FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT MISSISSIPPI STATE WOOO DAMN RIGHT!!!!!

[lilmurderith]

Dawg Pound Rock-we should bring this back!!

[woof07]

Cutcliffe is a good man and a quality coach. The Rebles shouldn't have canned him. But why do you throw a jump ball into a two-deep zone in your own territory at the end of the game? Stupid stupid stupid. Go Dawgies!

[mydyingbride907]

Cutcliffe was a good man-- but a bad coach. He under-achieved vastly. He had ELi and Deuce in the same backfield-- and did not play them ! The debacle of 2004 was inevitable-- and he had to be fired for years of incompetence... That call was the biggest bonehead call ever--- it made no sense at all. And deep seated resentment at OM for Cutcliffe began with this game. ANd LB Strong was infamous for not covering the TE-- as he failed to do repeatedly -- thats why he's wide open deep.

[woof07]

Cutcliffe was a very conservative play-caller, but you knew that before you hired him. When he had better personnel than his opponent, he was a hard nut to crack. It might seem a simple thing to coach within the boundaries of the players you have, but coaching is not a video game. Cutcliffe was a good coach. Not a great one or a gambler as Tubby was, but a good coach. He outrecruited Sherrill every year. Yet he wasn't Tuberville and wouldn't kiss the Clueless Twosome's butt...bravo.

[etahasgard1986]

Balderdash

1. Cutcliffe was a horrible recruiter and left the cupboard bare. 2004 was inevitable.

2. Cutcliffe was hired for one reason-- to get Eli to come to Oxford. Eli wasn't going to play for Tuberville and the Mannings loved Peyton's UT coach

3. Cutcliffe stunk-- I was glued to every game of his pathetic tenure-- the Rebels never adjusting at half-time, wasted Deuce, stupid ' Get Better Mondays", bonehead calls, no motivational ability etc, not playing the best players......

[tigerpaw78]

Woof07 took the words right out of my mouth, or fingers..whatever.

7 seasons at ole miss, 6 of those were winning. 5 bowl games with only one loss in the Music City Bowl, and a COTTON BOWL WIN!?!?

I just don't see his "incompetence" at all.

[msu2010]

I think Ole Miss's biggest mistake in the last 10 years was firing Cutcliffe. Ya'll kind of pulled an Arkansas with Nutt and decided that winning seasons weren't good enough year-in year-out. I do have to say I am not looking forward to playing Nutt's Ole Miss teams in the coming years

[tigerpaw78]

Oh I agree 100% that Ole Miss' firing Cut was a huge mistake. But that's just how impatient and shady the OM administration is. I was just replying to some guy who was trying to justify the demise of Cut @ OM by saying he was a bad coach.

Anyway, Nutt's not THAT great of a coach, especially in conference play. Yeah, he beat us in triple overtime, but most of his SEC wins are against MSU and Ole Miss. And we all know that they've sucked balls for a while.

[etahasgard1986]

It had nothing to do with impatience--- knowledgeable OM fans knew Cutcliffe stunk. Why was he fired after one VERY BAD season--- because OM fans had watched him lose games we should have won and make games we should have won going away, nail-biters. Also-- many knew he was a bad hire with the Tenn style offense. That offense would never work at OM because OM rarely has superior athletes at each position to just out-talent the opponent with basic plays.

[tigerpaw78]

KnowledgABLE OM fans knew Cut stunk? Must be very few of you guys out there then. You know as well as I do it's just your way of justifying a poor decision. Even worse, they hired that drunken ogre Orgeron who has never managed a team before simply because of his recruiting stats. And oh yeah, because the Mannings said he was a good coach. Further proof of the stupidity at Ole Miss.

What else would you expect from a university who has that retard Powe actually succeeding there?

[etahasgard1986]

We all knew 2004 was going to be bad-- becasue Cut stunk. I've mentioned several reasons why. It was a bad decision to hire him. Orgeron -- we could not attract a top head coach.. so someone really rolled the dice on Orgeron. The first game versus Memphis I knew we were cooked. DOn't know if Archie was involved in his hiring-- I doubt it. Powe was a stud-- then. Any university would kill to get him in-- and keep him in-- school. But he hasn't played in 3 years...

[tigerpaw78]

The point in my "mindless shit slinging" comment about Eli taking the tumble-You said the players at OM won, not Cut. How can you blame losses on Cut when even your top-notch sex machine Eli choked royally @ crunch time?

I'll say again, justify it any way you want. Whatever it takes to soothe that bruised ego. Any school would kill for Powe, but they didn't. Maybe an offer, but not an all out mission to get him. Congrats! Thanks to the OM special ed program, u have a retard playing 4 u!

[etahasgard1986]

You are incoherent. A lineman stepped on his foot dropping back-- everyone goes down when that happens. The kicker choked when he missed the tying FG. My bruised ego ? You are the one getting hosed. Powe was the top lineman in the nation the year he was a senior. Schools only backed off him becasue they didn't think he would qualify. All major colleges have "retards" as you call them, playing for them-- they use almost any method to qualify great athletes.

[tigerpaw78]

I'm getting hosed? lol. You love to stroke that over inflated ego of yours, don't you?

Typical Weeble, full of excuses.

Powe has a DIAGNOSED learning disorder, and now he's not far from being on the deans list at ole miss...hahahahaha!

[etahasgard1986]

I haven't made any excuses. You have not made any point yet. Of course Powe has a Learning Disablity-- and more. He would not be at Ole Miss-- most likely-- if he did not have great potential on the field.

 Everyone knows that-- thats college football for the last 30 years. A lot of players wear their IQ on their jerseys--- this isn't like the greatest team ever to take the field in the SEC-- the 1959 Ole Miss Rebels -- every player on that team graduated.

[tigerpaw78]

Any university would accept Powe, granted he met admission requirements and maintained a decent GPA. They weren't willing to stuff a sugar cookie in his mouth and walk him through their acaemic programs, as is the case with the OM administration. Again, congrats! Now you have a bona-fide retard tarnishing your already pathetic reputation!

WEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[etahasgard1986]

You live in la la land-- when I was at Alabama, the players had "tutors" and UT had a huge scandal a few years back with tutors and football players. SOme guys have completed their eligibility and still cannot read--- heck the senior class at LSU in 2007  had an average reading comprehension score at the 6th grade level. Up from 5th grade in 2001...

[tigerpaw78]

You're the on who lives in la la land. It's a well known fact that all Ole Miss Weebles do.... :D

Tell Powe he better color inside those lines, or else those OM professors will stop giving him lollipops and balloons!

[etahasgard1986]

Just kidding about the LSU seniors

[tigerpaw78]

Yeah, I figured you were. I was about to ask you to point me toward some proof of your claims anyway.

[tigerpaw78]

You know what would work even better at ole miss, aside from lollipops and balloons?.......Cocaine! Maybe the professors there should start handing out 8 balls to their students! It seems to be a great pastime there, other than drinking and driving. lol

I bet a fresh shipment just entered oxford straight out of Memphis!

[etahasgard1986]

Billy Cannon stepped out of bounds.

[tigerpaw78]

Nutt's never really had a good defense. He's always been offense heavy. If Croom can maintain a defense like he had in the Liberty Bowl, I can't see Nutt getting anywhere at all as far as the Egg Bowl in concerned. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[etahasgard1986]

people outside the program didn't get it--becasue they just looked at the W-L column and wondered why one bad year got him fired. It didn't 6 bad years did-- Om won in spite of Cutcliffe-- not because of him. With a good coach, they would have been more successful. 7 wins is Ok , but not if you should have won 9 ! The firing did hurt OM though-- because those outside the program didn't watch every game and didn't know how Cutcliffe cost the Rebels wins.

[etahasgard1986]

Thats because you have no idea of the talent OM had those years. If you watched every game, you knew Om won in spite of Cutcliffe. Many an OM fan cursed Cutcliffe every game-- his firing in 2004 season was for all his incompetence since he got there. The talent was going down even in 2003-- Eli was just phenomenal. The rest of the team was just a little above average. Cutcliffe's hiring was a huge mistake--Tenn's style of offense requires superior players at each position.

[tigerpaw78]

For example, yeah, blame it on Cut when "The God of all Gods at OM, Eli Manning", was the one who fell over like a fuckin' kid when he was playing us for a West title, costing you guys some sort of conference trophy for the first time in over 40 years. lol!

[etahasgard1986]

Thats just mindless s**t-slinging. Is there a point in there anywhere ? The 2003 team was not a strong one.Eli was really good most of the time. Nope- that game was weird becasue our FG kicker was the best in the nation-- won the Lou Groza award that year-- and missed the 35-or-so- yard FG late in the fourth to tie it. He was a gimme from that distance all year. It does look pathetic to have a lineman step on your foot as you drop back.

[Ben72Newman]

this is easily the best egg bowl, and mississippi state's best season since the 40's

[johnrussell50]

And that's when we had good looking uniforms!  I hate the white helments.

[johnrussell50]

Ah the good ole days of the Dog Pound Rock!

[bulldogcop]

Jackie Sherrill did great things at state...i'm glad he was our coach when he was..he just kinda lost control and let it slip away his last couple years..kinda the way Lloyd Carr is letting his job slip away at Michigan!! HAIL STATE!!

[jccavalier34]

god i hate ole miss! Hail State.

[ThaFlameofATown]

-sigh- The last time we were good, and the last 10 win season we've had...good times those were.

[msu15]

hey we were good in 2000 also 8 and 4 and won one of my most favorite bowl games of all time

[Maestrohbill]

Lucky as hell is what it was. But it was payback from 'the gods' for that time when Artie Cosby's kick got blown back in 1983.

[MissStFan87]

Good point. 1997, as well.

[Maestrohbill]

Well, 1997 was a decent comeback and State fell apart after leading the West in November. But give them credit - 1999 was a great year for MSU, 10-2.

[chadc2412]

I think C.J. Sirmones is still open.

[IKnowALotBoutSports]

I love this game. These were the glory days.

[Ap52790]

'97 Egg bowl was way better

[littlet99]

nope this was way better

[jacksdawgs]

what a game...what a game

[mstateslackletics]

Glory Road!!!

[littlet99]

those were the glory days

[wndrummer]

go to hell ole piss!

[mstateslackletics]

There you go

[Maroon1Mike]

Lost my voice for two days after this one.  Sweet.

[ThaFlameofATown]

OWNED. Go State, Go State.

[IHaveACoolName]

[mstateslackletics]

So do you

[slassy]

[Dedicednu]
