Mississippi State: Better than TCU
- Thread starter onewoof
- Start date
That game was the most fun I’ve seen in person.
And fun. MSU fans outnumbered Meatchicken fans 4-1 in Jacksonville.
You couldn’t have convinced me that MSU had not turned the same corner after that game that Kansas State had in the mid 90’s.
oh well.
Relf was truly amazing. That throwing motion and the "hope it goes where I want it to" attitude was something else. Fortunately, he could hand off and also run like hell so he looked unbeatable in some games.
As big a prick as Mullen could be he was damn good at using what he had.
Until he put Holloway in the backfield
Relf had some big games against Ole Miss. They didn't like seeing him.
That game was one of the highlights of my entire fan career.
The ironic thing is, that 30 yard pass he threw in the third quarter of the Gator bowl to Michael Carr was one of the best passes I had seen in person as a MSU fan to that point.
Relf played the game of his life that day.
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Chris Relf.
The 2009 egg bowl is probably in my top 5 MSU football games I attended. We weren’t supposed to win and Relf and Dixon just dominated OM. Great memories of that one.
Yeah I kinda forgot about how he totally bossed that game. He actually became a better passer than Fitz and was a damn good running QB. Ole Dan did some good things. I don't begrudge him for taking the cash and going to Florida, but the way he left burned some bridges. There's more love for Relf than Mullen from State fans.
I had to go watch the highlights since you brought it up. IIRC, the TD pass Relf threw to Bumphis where he just threw it up was intended for O’Neal Wilder and he badly overthrew him. Lot of good stuff in that game. Broomfield with a great pick 6. And I forgot about UM bringing air horns
More than our offense that day, I remember our defense. I was worried about Denard Robinson burning us, but after the first quarter, the D completely blew up their whole scheme.
I forgot about Relf wearing Nick Bells number for that game.

Damn, we must have been sitting pretty close to each other. I think I was a few rows up and a few over.
Also the first game in our historic bowl streak.
Only picture I have from that day.
