At a certain point over the last few years, Vic Schaefer probably got used to making history. Surely, each achievement was nice in the moment, but as week-after-week and game-after-game involved some kind of new school record or high water mark, the novelty had to have worn off at least a little.
In any other circumstance, and for many other programs, today would have been a big deal for the record it included, but the piece of history made today in Starkville is borderline inconsequential in comparison with the rest of the year. The fact that this 30th win of the season for Mississippi State was a school record means little if more wins don’t follow it.
