Reaction to Sirr Parker

[Powercat Matt]

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

 

 

you've got cajones for wanting to watch it...i don't know if i'll ever have the guts to sit down and watch the entire game. not until we win a national title at least!

If you are like me, you probably listened to the triple OT loss at Oregon State after the game.  Only bad part of the night.

wasn't that in 03 or 04?  or did we lose to them in 98 too?  either way, i agree, heartbreaker.

My bad, I got threads mixed up.  That was 03 after we beat OU.  In 98 we all felt better after beating the Shockers a few nights later on the hardwood.

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.

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

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.

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?

Why do fools fall in love ?

Why ask why ?

[Super PurpleCat]

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.

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.

So do all of you feel better now that you got all this out finally? 

I should get a fee for the psychological therapy I provided with this thread.

Nothing will ever make it feel better.   

[swish1]

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.

I simply wish you would collapse like that fat shrink in Office Space.
