I stayed for the entire South Alabama game, but I have to admit that the primarily reason for that was that I was sitting in the shade the entire game. But of course, I also wanted to hang around to see if MSU could somehow find a way to put the game away. When the Jags scored to make it 20-14, I floated the idea of losing 21-20 to a guy sitting near me. In fact, my exact words were “this game has a 21-20 feel to it.”
I watched us move the ball in position for potential game winning late in the game, hoping we would make it, but knowing in my heart of hearts we probably wouldn’t , because, well… it’s State football.
