I'll start by saying that there is only one real school in the state of Mississippi, don't guess or speculate because there is absolutely no questioning that statement. Mississippi State University is arguably one of the best schools in the SEC, definitely the best college in Mississippi, I mean since we are being honest here, each day we thank our lucky stars that we aren't TSUN (real Bulldogs understand.) This article is not meant to compliment, or make any other school feel better about themselves, so the only school name that will be stated is, the only one that matters. I'm sorry Rebels, but not today! As we gear up to get back out in those stands after a long anticipated season of some good ol' football, there are a few things that much be understood. Mississippi State University has the best football family, fans, players, and environment that college football has to offer!
Here's why:
1. The junction is the best place to be outside of the stadium.
Out on that large patch of green grass, connections are made, friendships are made, and bonds become stronger. Because of the junction, fans become family! I've met so many people on the junction that I still consider my friends today, all because we had the love of a few colors in common: maroon and white.
2. We are DAWGS!
Nobody else can sing "Who let the Dogs out" to the ring of some very familiar bells!
3. Our fight song.
We unofficially, yet extremely officially get to sing those words "GTHOM" when we accompany our band to the tune of our fight song.
4. Best fans.
One thing I have gathered over the years as a Mississippi State Student is that no matter what happens after the fourth quarter, the fans never change. We cheer for the boys before the game, we cheer for them afterward, we cheer when they win, and we cheer when they lose.
5. MORE COWBELL!
Come on, if your not a Mississippi State student you kind of wish that you could ring the coolest "noise maker" in the SEC! Some people call it obnoxious, but we call it music. So if you can't handle the noise, then just stay off the field!
*So if you're not a Mississippi State University student or fan, just know that when you step into the gates of Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi, on any given Saturday, be ready for three things, a sea of maroon and white, a vicious dog attack, and MORE COWBELL!
