I chose 96 over 98 for one simple reason. If we would've gone on to win the MNC in 98, then Coop would still be the coach.

The 74 MSU game. I still get very angry and upset when I reflect on that day. I was young enough at the time that the game left a huge impression on me. At that time everything was black & white, right and wrong. I didn't understand the judgement calls and shades of gray. I didn't understand how the "correct" call wasn't made, even 30 minutes after the game. I REALLY didn't understand why there was no outcome to the game even after the teams left the field. It was one of the oddest football moments I can ever recall.

I have to go with 98 over 96 for me They were both painful but I was at the Horseshoe for the 98 game.

I'm the dude who voted for '93 Michigan... It was my first year at tOSU... and I really wanted to beat those jerk-offs.... REALLY... anyway... its not as "historic" as the others... just a personal thing.. and the way we lost made it all the worse.

I voted for the 98 Michigan State game because every time I look back at it I get a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. The one year Cooper does beat Michigan we lose to a team that we were favored by 4 touchdowns to beat at home. Then in the Big Ten basketball season later that same year having to hear those Michigan State fans chanting "Just like Football!" over and over again on ESPN is enough to make a sane man lose it. God Damn I hate the state of Michigan!

I went with the '96 loss to scUM because I was there, and had to deal with the scUM fans talking about what a great game it was, and how without them beating us their team wouldn't have gotten the "respect" it deserved
