Go State
The town is still buzzing about Mississippi State’s upset win over Florida on Saturday. We were last in the nation in offense but managed to score more than we had scored in the previous 4 games combined. I mean, we lost to Maine, a I-AA team. And Vanderbilt, which isn’t much better. Croom was looking very excited after the game and the fans just had to bring the goalposts down. An interesting fact is that this is the only stadium in the SEC in which Steve Spurrier never won a game. FL has lost 4 straight games in Starkville.
They wouldn’t stop talking about the game on the news and on ESPN. There was a lot of speculation on Ron Zook’s future at FL. Losing more than 2 or 3 games is just unacceptable there (he’s 20-13 overall). Well, this morning it was announced that Ron Zook has been fired, but he will finish the season. I wonder if they’ll try to get Spurrier back.
On a side note, I heard some things about Maine’s trip to Starkville. On the day of the game, the players were so excited because they got a police escort to the stadium. They had never had one before. Also, they said that there were more people tailgating at our game than they have in attendance at one of their games. And we lost to them.
Update: It looks like Steve Spurrier will be talking to FL about getting his job back. Something about him just rubs me the wrong way.
