I know y'all have the cowbell thing which is equally annoying, if not moreso, but I am just curious if you have ever done the barking thing like Georgia fans. Not taking a shot at Georgia here, just genuinely curious.

I mean you are the Bulldogs, so it would make sense. I just don't recall State fans doing it.

Also do you guys ever hunker down?

OK that might have been a little jab at Georgia, forget that one.

Too young to remember "Who let the Dogs out" song with the barking? Embarrassing but it got the sidelines fired up.

OK, so you guys have done some barking in the past. I wasn't sure since we aren't rivals and I have never been to a game in Starkville.

They've had their rabies shot, UGA hasn't.

I understand how barking can annoy another fan base, but no amount of barking reaches the level of annoyance as those dumb cowbells. It's not even close.

“Who let the Dawgs out” is a part of our song list and fans do bark and ring a cowbell in unison to it.

But generally in our case, Bully is more seen than he is heard.

Plus we will let the Dalmatian's keep the Twilight Bark in London.

Nah, not really. It's not Georgia week. It is more of a spin off from another thread where someone was talking about it, and it just made me wonder if State ever did it. Georgia is really big on calling themselves the dogs or dawgs, and State is not. Or at least they don't seem as dog-centric.

But it could just be that I have spent way more time around Georgia fans than State fans, so I genuinely wanted to know.

I used to carry one around on work trips. At the start of work conferences or meetings when the presenter is trying to talk, but there are still conversations going on I would ring it. It always got everyone's attention. In those days most of my trips were in Florida, Tennessee, or Georgia so everyone knew I was a State fan.

Interesting, thank you!


Also a little known fact is we stole the Jaws theme for our Gator Jaws from State back in the 80's

So, what's more annoying:

GA fans barking
Cowbells
The Vandy whistler
Rocky Top

Seeing the Georgia fans do it probably made them think better of it.

We have one cheer with barks but you don’t hear it much.

“WE GOT SOME DAWGS UP IN HERE!” -somebody

“Barking” -everybody else

Other than cowbells and contentment in mediocrity, Mississippi State doesn't have much tradition. Over the years, they have tried to do some things, but nothing sticks.

The Chuck Smooth version of Who Let the Dogs Out was popularized in the late 90s (way before the Baja Men version). We let that die.

Mullen's idea of playing Dont Stop Believin before the fourth quarter had some cool moments. We let that die.

The Famous Maroon Band plays that pedophile song that our crowd can't get the beat of on the cheer. Of course that's still happening.
