Will we ever beat Bama in football or Kentucky in basketball again?

No matter circumstances, State cannot beat them in those two sports.

Howland did beat Calipari once but yeah otherwise it’s been rough since 2009.

Not likely. Those 2 programs always seem to find the next Saban-like coach good enough to keep us under their heels. Kind of crazy to think the last 2 MSU coaches to beat BAMA and KY in their respective sports were......Croom & Howland.

Now that Saban is gone we might have a chance to beat Alabama again. I won’t hold my breath on ever beating Kentucky as long as Calipari is coaching.

Money, money, money! Both are the New York Yankees of old. Coaching is easy when your talent is the best. I always think of these games as David vs Golliath or the 1980 USA hockey game. A win against either only happens when we play lights out and they have an average or worse game. We played well last night and they had a tough first half. At least it made for an entertaining game.

Just reverse the roles and be happy on the occasions we beat Bama in basketball and KY in football......

I remember well walking out of Scott field after that epic battle in 94 and telling my friend, "we will never beat them again if we didn't tonight." Then along came 96.

We may get them a time or two now that Bama is starting over at HC. We may get Kentucky when Cal retires. But....even then we will find one or two victories before they right the ship(s) and reel off decades of wins.

1980 MSU 6 Bama 3. No one expected us to knock off the #1 team then. Shat happens. At 69 I probably won't see another win against either team.
