The best breakdown of the argument came from Adam Gore on his website goresports.net. The next two paragraphs are excerpts from his article.
"In 2004, MSU dropped a 9-7 shocker to the Maine Black Bears in Starkville marking the Dogs’ first-ever loss to an I-AA school. Ironically the game against Maine, who was ranked 15th in I-AA at the time, was the first game against a I-AA school since the Bulldogs beat Jacksonville State in 2002. The Bulldogs did rebound four weeks later to upset Florida 38-31 at home on their way to a 3-8 season.
Flash-forward six years and Rebel fans that were pointing and laughing at their counterparts to the south are now getting a dose of their own medicine after a 49-48 double overtime loss to Jacksonville State."
Gore breaks down the situation a lot more on his article which I recommend everybody reads in full on his site (goresports.net).
Either way, both losses are no doubt embarrassing for both programs, but vote below to give your opinion.
