I was there as well. (And I actually knew what was going to happen rewatching this, but was a little tense when it was 3-0 near the end of the first half.)
We went to Ybor City kind of after the parade. The one Ohio State fan I engaged with was a bit cocky, saying they had the better program. And I said, "But we have the better coach."
She looked around and then, in a quiet voice said, "I think you're right."
And she gave me a Buckeye. She even warned me that it was poisonous. so it wasn't a dangerous prank.
We had the best barbecue I have ever had in my life. Moses White and Sons. And it was the son of one of Moses' that was running the joint at that time.
Was out at a bar either that night or the night before, and I remember Mississippi State was in a bowl game in the snow somewhere.
The first of our double-header outback bowl wins over Ohio State.
Good times. Great times.
