First game: 1970 Texas Tech on campus (I was a high school senior ) winner 20-16 QB Joe Reed dicing them up.
First game as a State student: 1971 Florida, Jackson 13-10 win. Probably the proudest moment ever as a Bulldog. Florida fans were stunned.
First campus game as a State student: 1971 Vandy 19-49. Vandy put us in our place with a skull dragging. Marked the beginning of the end for Coach Shira.

1955. I was 4. Football game on campus. I don’t remember who we played or whether we won (I was 4). I just remember it was a day game. All games on campus back then were day games because - no lights.
The flashback mental picture I have was that my dad bought me a toy souvenir from one of the vendors outside the stadium. It was a mechanical pencil that looked like a miniature rifle about 6” long. I kept that thing for years but it’s been lost now for decades. I wish I still had it because the memory of it reminds me of the time I was a little boy with my dad.
Now my dad is gone and I have 10 grandchildren. They all live not near but when they’re here visiting and we’re playing a home game, I always try to take them and buy them a souvenir.
I am blessed.

One of my earliest memories of State sports was us playing auburn at home under croom. I remember looking up at the scoreboard and it showed we were down 27-0. I have no idea what the final score ended up being.
1962 I rode a bus from the Dr. Pepper - 7UP Plant in Columbus to S-Ville to sell drinks at a football game . Done this for 3 years 10-12 years old at all home games . Memories
1969. My dad and I went to Houston to visit his brother. Uncle got us tix to u of Houston. 74-0. Yeoman's team ran all over us
1994 Baseball 2-game home series with UAB. I remember them snapping our 15 or 16 game winning streak when we were ranked number 1. Lost the first game and won the second game.
My first MSU football game was Auburn at Scott Field in 1994. I was in high school and snuck into the student section with a family friend who was a State student. We were 3-1 heading into that game and laid an egg on national television.

Nov. 9, 1974, vs. Auburn in Jackson. My parents went to small, private schools, and we were not a college football family. The Auburn game was my 10th birthday, and I asked to go as my birthday present.
This was the game that caused Shug Jordan to start the campaign to ban cowbells. Auburn won, but they cheated. As usual.

Bad memory demonstrated here
As a noyscout, I ushered several games at memorial stadium in the early 1960s. The most vivid memory I have was A basketball game we went to in the old quanset hut gym in 1962 ro 63. Was the loudest, most out of control fan grouping I was ever a part of. My head ache from the cowbells lasted a couple of days. It was great.

Cal Poly October 2 1976. I was 14 and didn't see them again till the late 80's through 2000's. I went as a freshman with our football team.
1963 vs Auburn in Jackson. They were ranked 1 or 2 and had Tucker Frederickson at RB and Jimmy Sidle at QB. Justin Canale kicked a FG (straight on) around 45 yards at the end of the game and we won 13-10 in Memorial Stadium. We went on and went to the last Liberty Bowl in Philadelphia and beat NC State. It was brutally cold causing them to move the bowl to Memphis.
My family didn’t go to games when I was a kid so my first in person was vs Memphis in 97 as a student. Close game but Dawgs won. Been hooked since and all my boys know is MSU sports. Both made a game before they were 6 months old. My oldest sons first game, he was able to see State play as the #1 team in the nation. He doesn’t remember it, but that’s what his first game story is( better than most of ours).
1987 Baseball against Auburn
We lost in fifteen innings. I am wanting to say that Frank Thomas untied the game in the top of the fifteenth.
