They surprisingly are fairly similar:
1. Same school colors
2. State used to be Mississippi A&M
3. State used to be called Aggies before going to Maroons, and then settling on Bulldogs
4. Both are land-grant universities
5. Both have dogs as mascots
6. Both have big vet schools
7. Jackie Sherrill
8. Emory Bellard
9. Mark Johnson was an assistant under Ron Polk
10. Kermit Davis Jr played at State and coached at aTm
11. Les Koenning
12. Vic Schaefer

And didn't State start doing a Cowbell Yell pep rally?

I can’t believe that a fan of any school would actually compare themselves to the A&M freak show.

13. And neither State, 8&4 or Ole Piss won a Conference Championship since East and West divisions were formed.

Origins are somewhat similar and we do have some common coaching ground.

You forgot the part about A&M growing into a first-class global research institution while Moo State and the State of Mississipi in general remain stuck in the Great Depression.
