We just don't have many sidewalk fans
It likely correlates to the discrepancy in acceptance rates: 54% UA, 65% MSU, and 78 % UM; and about it being ~3k dollars cheaper for MS school instate tuition than it is for UA. SEC Cost Comparison
Next, are you defining sidewalk as attendance or graduate, as both MS schools have lower grad rates than UA.
So, higher acceptance rate + cheap tuition = possible perception of fewer sidewalks
In any case, Stingrays and callers to Pawwllll are reflective of the base of most of our fans. Learn to laugh at yourself, enjoy it, and move on.

As I laid out, MSU (and Ole Miss') academic woes are tied to a federal court case that said that the state of Mississippi failed to provide the same education at all of its state universities. MSU and Ole Miss fall under the administration of an IHL board, which also oversees the six other public universities.
In the mid 90s, because I applied to all three, the admission standards were basically the same at Alabama, Auburn and MSU (and I assume Ole Miss). This decision required all of the schools under IHL administration to have the same admission standards, which brought State and Ole Miss down to the easiest two Power 5 schools to get into. The admission standards at MSU and Ole Miss are basically the same that you would see at schools like West Alabama, Jax State, UNA, et al, but not by choice.
