Mississippi State's 17-10 overtime victory over Ole Miss in the 2013 Egg Bowl does not seem impressive in the context of box scores, but those who watched the game know that the way the final events unfolded made this one of the more unexpected endings to an Egg Bowl ever.
While we all attended the game or watched at home or elsewhere, former Mississippi State players did the same, and some took to twitter to share their thoughts on the game and players in the game.
In what could not be a surprise, players such as Johnthan Banks, Charles Mitchell, and Darius Slay had thoughts to share on the Mississippi State secondary.
Banks, as well as Chad Bumphis had some love for Taveze Calhoun:
I raised that boy @Calhounnnn
— Johnthan Banks (@JBANKS_13) November 29, 2013
Calhoun is playing outta his mind
— chad bumphis (@ImSo_BalisMade1) November 29, 2013
Charles Mitchell sounded like the proud dad of the secondary with one of his tweets:
@JBANKS_13 I raised all y'all well. Look at Nickoe ball bruh.
— C-Mitch™ (@cmitch412) November 29, 2013
Nickoe Whitley got a lot of love from other former Bulldogs as well:

As you might guess Dak Prescott got a bunch of love as well:
Go Dak

Chad Bumphis reminded us not to forget about Damian Williams:
HELL YEAH!!!!!! #GTHOM Dak played great but we can't forget about Damian and what he did to get us to that point. 1 mistake. I'll take it

Fletcher Cox sees big things ahead for Chris Jones:

Anthony Dixon recognizes a good kick when he sees one:
I was so nervous for that kick thank u #64
— Anthony Dixon (@Boobie24Dixon) November 29, 2013
Speaking of Dixon, he was not a fan of the officials:
I never in my life seen this BS that's going on tonight never how many miss calls can they make who is this crew smh
— Anthony Dixon (@Boobie24Dixon) November 29, 2013

— Anthony Dixon (@Boobie24Dixon) November 29, 2013
Don't forget those terrible refs they need a spanking I know they were graded poorly I jus know it
— Anthony Dixon (@Boobie24Dixon) November 29, 2013
He was not the only one not impressed with the men in stripes either:
"@NatalyYWilliams: @ImSo_BalisMade1 yes! And you know I'm not being bias but it's pretty ridiculous especially that late hit call"••Bama fan
