Title: Reaction to Sirr Parker
Post by: S. Parker on April 24, 2007, 09:34:14 PM
What was your reaction to Sirr Parker when his winning touchdown occurred? I'm not trying to piss you off, but I am curious. Did you punch a wall? Get drunk? Stay in your room for several days with the lights off?

When Nebraska missed the field goal in 1993 against Florida State to lose the NC, at first I was just speechless for about five minutes. Then I went to my bed and started cussing into a pillow so my mom wouldn't hear me. I then was inconsolable for about a week. It just kind of hung over everything, and I was really irritable.

In all honesty, I still get sad/angry thinking about that game.  :'(

FWIW, I think you guys had the best team in the country that year and I was shocked when that happened.

I said my first cussword in front of my parents at the age of 13.  They didn't even punish me.  They were too mad.

i was 8 years old, and i cried myself to sleep....one of the worse days of my life. but the 2003 big 12 game in which i attended almost made up for it, except for the fact it didn't take us to the NC. i've almost completely recovered from that game in the past decade, but thanks to u S. Parker, i had to look up some youtube videos and watch how we completely blew that game.

I was at the (then) TWA Dome.  After what went down in the 4th quarter it was just surreal.  In a bad way.  Unbelievable swing in emotions from the Miami - UCLA score flashed on the scoreboard right after a long TD reception to what happened at the end.

I got really drunk that night.  First with shots and expensive beers at RockABelly, Then I had some CarBombs, don't remember how many, but more than 2 I am sure of.  I probably went to Mae's b/c that is a place you can avoid thinking about football, then I passed out in City Park on the way home.

I sat there in the upper deck of the TWA dome just stunned.  I think I was close to FAN, actually.  My dad told some aTm fan "good game" afterwards and I about lost it.  That was a long freakin' car ride back across Missouri.  It would have been much more fun if we'd have known we were going to the national championship game in a few weeks.

I had been filmed by some KC area station earlier in the day saying "Welcome to St. Louis!" for their evening newscast outside the dome.

What a freakin' crappy day.  Good thing I got used to getting kicked in the nads early as a KSU fan.

That was a game in which we paid the price for Bishop being a hot dog.  We stopped A&M, they punt and all we had to do was run out the clock.  What does Bishop do ?  Throws a long pass down the sideline that was incomplete.  Of course he then runs it a couple of plays later for a first down and a fumble.

:curse: :curse: :curse: :curse:

That allow Sirr Parker to burn us twice.  Once in reg and once in OT.

I was a SR at K-State watching the game a Scoreboards. (old sports bar in aggieville...don't know what it is now)  That place was electric when the Miami/UCLA game ended.  Then it went to uneasy as things started to unravel.  Tense in OT.  Dead as a morge when Sirr Parker did what he did.  I've been to funerals that were happier.  I think I was in enough shock that I stayed out for another half hour or so, but once the reality kicked in, so did the depression.  The second kick in the balz came when we watched the BCS selection show to see where we were going.   :banghead:

  Ironically, the Alamo was the best bowl trip I've been on, even though the other three (Holiday '99, Cotton '00 and Fiesta '97) were more prestigious and we actually won those.

Yeah, but after the devistation of the Big 12 game and not getting invited to a BCS...the loss to Purdue didn't hurt too much.  I was numb by then I guess.  The Riverwalk is a blast.

What was your reaction to Sirr Parker when his winning touchdown occurred? I'm not trying to piss you off, but I am curious. Did you punch a wall? Get drunk? Stay in your room for several days with the lights off?

I was standing on the other corner of that endzone opposite the Aggie crowd when that happened.  Once it did I quietly turned around, quickly walked up the stairs, out of the dome and down the street to the parking garage, got on the highway, drove to the hotel, ripped my purple shirt off and walked into the Applebees and ate a silent dinner.  The next day the drive home from St. Louis to Manhattan was done in complete silence.  I didn't talk about that game for two weeks afterwards.  I still don't like talking about it.  I will never forgive Michael Bishop for fumbling that ball and giving the Aggies all the chances in the world in  that 4th quarter.

I wish KSU would have won that game because I think you were the best team that year, and I think you would have beaten Tennessee. It sucks that the Aggies won because they were just spoilers. Their season meant nothing, other than they knocked you out. Texas did the same thing to us in 1996.

I get sick of listening to the Big 12 south teams talking trash about the north because they have quickly forgotten that when the Big 12 was formed the south sucked and three north teams were national contenders.

On that note, I was happy when KSU spoiled Oklahoma's season in 2003. It was payback of sorts.

I was in the first few rows of the upper deck right above that endzone.  It happened right in front of me.  There are no words to explain that feeling.....none.  We all just stood there quiet with blank looks on our face.  The only noise in that dome were the small number of aggie fans raising hell.  Everyone else was silent and motionless. 

I was pissed and was told "the sun will come up tomorrow".  Ofcourse it rained the whole effing way home.  Just a awful memory that I try not to think about.

I was 14. Barely spoke to anyone for about 3 days. My fam and I were at the game...longest car ride home of my life, by a wide margin.

The next week, I wrote an essay for school about "The Worst Day of My Life"...December 7(?), 1998. It was the most depressing thing I've ever written, and writing is how I always vent.

Post by: mikeycat on April 25, 2007, 09:58:53 AM
We had a roller coaster ride in the upper deck.   The game felt like it took 12 hours...highs then lowest of lows....

We all went back to our room at Holiday Inn, and sat there....stunned.    About 2 hours later we all went to Sauget IL to a strip club, and that eased a little pain, but not much.

I still can't hardly think of that game, but someday I do want to watch it again.

I don't think I will ever get over that game...i thought the 2003 Big 12 Championship would be the thing that helped me get over the disappointment of 1998, but i'm pretty sure the only way i'm getting over this one is if we face aTm in the big 12 championship game with a national championship on the line. for some reason i don't see that happening anytime soon  :crybaby:

There were six or seven plays that should have been easy to make and would have won the game for KSU had they gone the other way.  I'm not going to try to remember them, but we blew so many opportunities to put it away that the Sirr Parker touchdown wasn't really all that bad in comparison.

My uncle got married that day.  During the reception the whole family, except for my uncle and his new wife were around the bar watching the game.  No one cared about the wedding celebration.  And like chum said, there were some "easy" plays that should've gone our way and didn't.  The Sirr Parker play hurt, alot, but our boys shouldn't have gotten themselves into that situation.

I was watching it on the couch downstairs at my parents house with my dad.  I will never forget that last hour of that game.  I don't remember the specific plays and everything that happened, most of those have faded from memory, but I certainly remember the highs and lows that every KSU fan went through.

After it was over, I feel to my knees and shed a few tears, while hearing my sister upstairs cheering/yelling (she was 12 and thought it was cool to like ku, and therefore root against KSU because I liked KSU).  At that point, I seriously had to hold myself back from going upstairs and killing her, right then and there.

It still burns and depresses me when I think about that game.  Right now, i'm sitting in my 6x6 grey jail cell at work and want to ball up and cry :crybaby:

Utter shock and disbelief. I was at a HS bball game watchin it on a small tv in an office that barely got reception. One of the worst memories in my lifetime.

On a side note.....how many of you have rewatched the game or highlights of it?  I, to this day, haven't watched any highlights, etc of the game. Except for the occasional highlight that shows up on a top 10 upsets of all time or somethin like that, havent watched that effing play since.
I think it might be time to watch the game again....anyone have a place where to get it from?

I was a freshman at KSU.  We were seated about 15 rows up from the field in the endzone.  As soon as Parker got the ball "outside" I could see his f&*$ing eyes get bigger and bigger as he ran towards the endzone.  I was heading towards the exits before the bastard even scored.  The worst 3 hour car ride home to my parents house ever!  Everytime I hear any reference to that game my blood begins to boil!  The other thing that pisses me off, is before I went off to school at KSU, I told my Dad that KSU will "play" for a NC before I graduated and it SHOULD have been my first year.  Durrrrrrrr  :banghead:   :'(

KSU gets a first down they run out the clock and win the game.  Bishop runs a keeper gets the first and then keeps trying to fight for yardage instead of just going down and walking to the national championship.  Fumble and the rest is history.

Exactly. That's what hurts the worst. Hope it doesn't sound like sour grapes. But we were the best team, and we would've beat Tennessee. It was all ours on a silver platter. Never sniffed it before......ever. When UCLA lost, I knew for sure the stars were aligned, and we were meant to win it ALL. I sat there in the TWA dome and watched everything unfold. Afterwards, I couldn't move. I just sat there like a rock for 10-15 minutes, as did alot of K-Staters. It took all of about 30 seconds for the flood gates to open, and I couldn't stop crying. Even my husband has tears in his eyes. Walking out, I noticed alot of men did too. You know that HUGE sore throat you get when you are "trying" to hold back the tears? I had that, the whole time walking back to the parking lot. Alot of Asshole Mizzou fans there, running their mouths, and by God I wasn't gonna cry in front of them. All of the A&M fans walking out were cheering loudly, whistling, hooping and hollering. At 1st I wanted to hit someone, then thought....hey they deserve to celebrate. They aren't being classless, they are just celebrating. Alot of people gave Bill Snyder grief when he said, "it feels like someone died", or something of that nature. But he was RIGHT ON THE MONEY! Obviously, it's just a game, and no one died. That is not what he meant. He meant you have alot of the same emotions, like:
Total shock
Total disbelief
crying
anger
wake up the very next morning and cry again, when you realize it is all too real  (I did this)
maybe even the next morning
depression
anger
the longing for something that shoulda/woulda been
and finally................you NEVER get over it, just learn to live with it

And by the way, this thread sucks

Can somebody upload the game?  I want to see it.

 :billypopcorn:

I agree. I want to watch them play that game again, and see how they dominated. Once it gets to the 4th quarter, I will probably have something nearby to hit. I honestly dont remember much of the game outside of the fumble, hail mary, martin's fg that never happened...and "the play"

It was almost ten years ago.  We should probably be over it by now.

I wish KSU would have won that game because I think you were the best team that year, and I think you would have beaten Tennessee. It sucks that the Aggies won because they were just spoilers. Their season meant nothing, other than they knocked you out.

Now now, as painful as that game was for me, no way can I say that the Aggies had a meaningless season and they were just spoilers and they didn't care.  Ask any Aggie about that game and they get misty eyed.  That was an awesome moment for them and remains their only conference title, just as we played the same role against OU in 2003.  Be happy for the Ags, if our KSU team that year was truly worthy of going to the title game and beating Tennessee, then A&M played one helluva game to stop Bishop and win out like that.  That's just the way football is, you gotta come to play in the big games.

My uncle got married that day.  During the reception the whole family, except for my uncle and his new wife were around the bar watching the game.  No one cared about the wedding celebration.  And like chum said, there were some "easy" plays that should've gone our way and didn't.  The Sirr Parker play hurt, alot, but our boys shouldn't have gotten themselves into that situation. 

Why do women continue to schedule weddings on Saturdays during the fall?

I just remember the last play now. If you don't mind, what did Bishop do? Was he trying to run up the score or something?

Why didn't Snyder have him just burn clock?
KSU gets a first down they run out the clock and win the game.  Bishop runs a keeper gets the first and then keeps trying to fight for yardage instead of just going down and walking to the national championship.  Fumble and the rest is history.

Holy christ I'm all f'n angry all over again.

There was recently an article in "Miss Manners" that was in several major newspapers about a girl who scheduled her wedding on a gameday and her dad didn't go to the reception so he could watch the game. The only reason I know about this is it turned out to  be a Nebraska fan (the dad) and we got made fun of in the follow up letters to the papers. It was circulating on RSS.

I've got to side with the dad there. It was her fault for scheduling her wedding during a Nebraska game.  :loly: :beerchug:

Sittin' in the upper deck with the whole family.  The youngest is about 18 months, and she'd had enough by the time OT rolled around.  So I took her out in the concessions area so she could run around and I watched the final play on a monitor.  When it happened I just sunk down on the floor.  When folks started coming out of the stadium, I grabbed on to her so she wouldn't get run over.  Well, she wanted to roam....so she started screamin' and I do mean screamin'.  A bunch of different K-Staters walked up and said...."don't worry about it little girl I feel like doin't the same thing."

We got in the car and drove straight through to Manhattan....didn't utter one single word for the entire six hour trip.

Haven't watched the game or any lowlight since....don't know if I ever will.

Utter shock and disbelief. I was at a HS bball game watchin it on a small tv in an office that barely got reception. One of the worst memories in my lifetime.

On a side note.....how many of you have rewatched the game or highlights of it?  I, to this day, haven't watched any highlights, etc of the game. Except for the occasional highlight that shows up on a top 10 upsets of all time or somethin like that, havent watched that effing play since.
I think it might be time to watch the game again....anyone have a place where to get it from?

to this day i am glad that i was at the same game. at the time i was pissed, and that coach wouldnt let us watch it.  i thought your brother was going to cry right before our game started.
