Some things, despite the lengths many go to in an effort to describe them, can be explained pretty easily. The redwoods in California are big. A sunset after the rain has cleared is colorful. Popcorn at the movies is salty. Nuance is nice, and descriptors are helpful, but often it’s easier just to call things what they are.

Mississippi State’s performance against Texas A&M was just dominant. No frills, no froof, no Disney move storylines – just a completely dominant performance. You could go with the student-becomes-the-teacher angle as MSU coach Vic Schaefer took down his longtime boss in A&M coach Gary Blair, but even a narrative as seemingly innocent as that would take away from what the game actually was to Schaefer’s Bulldogs.
