Watch highlights from the 1996 football contest between the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide. Entering this game, MSU hadn't defeated the Tide since they knocked off Bear Bryant's undefeated squad all the way back in 1980. Gene Stallings' 1996 version wasn't undefeated, but they did come into this game as the #8 ranked team in the country. Since MSU was in the middle of their 2nd straight losing season in '96, it was thought unlikely that they'd break the losing streak on this night. Jackie Sherrill's Bulldogs, however, had different plans.

  • Yes, Alabama was on probation in the ten-win 2002 season and the 10-win 2005 season.

    It was a FIVE-YEAR probation. Can't you count? 2002-2003-2004-2005-2006

  • Alabama was number one for five weeks this year - nothing to do with Bear.

    Where was MSU?

    Oh, that's right - fired their coach who was a Bama player.

    And if Bama is SO bad, why have your LAST THREE HEAD COACHES prior to Mullen all been Bama guys? Croom and Sherrill played there and Felker was on staff as a coach before MSU hired him.

  • Why do people laugh about the skydiver breaking his legs?

  • I had tix and was in Starkville but my girlfriend didn't want to get wet in the rain, so we watched it in my apartment. The whole time she was apologizing because State had a chabce to win! Also, my godson was born that same day. Great night for the Dogs!

  • ima arkansas razorback fan but i am glad that msu deafets my dad's team alabama 17-16 and i was born in 1996 now 13 years old

  • Jackie was an awesome coach. Let's hope Dan Mullen sets new heights for MSU.

  • @ftm4747 yeah i wasat this game, i was like 8 years old..that was crazy

  • I remember this well. Was in WV for my wife's grandmother's funeral. Her sister and her family are bama fans. Kinda hard to celebrate and rub it in when you're together for a funeral. What made it worse, I got a condolence card the year before from them when we lost for teh 15th in a row.

  • @ftm4747 This was the skydiver game....lol. I was there
