The last time NC State played Mississippi State in a bowl game, I was in middle school. Shoulder pads were enormous, and there was punctuation on football uniforms. ("Miss. State" was done unironically.) These are just a couple of the lessons I've learned from this old video, apart from my own grade school history.
That Peach Bowl is my earliest memory of attending an NC State football game, and also my finest recollection of any particular pants. Those were some pants we had going on there. It's a shame that the sat-in-paint trend never caught on. There's still time.
