You Know You’re an MSU (Mississippi State) Fan If…
September 6, 2009Ok, some of these might be recycled or retuned, but this is what I have on my mind right now:
1. When having a bad day, humming “Hail State!” picks you up.
2. You don’t like dogs, but when you see an English Bulldog you just have to pet it. (Or even if you do like dogs)
3. You know who John Bond is.
4. You know that the “Dawg Pound Rock” isn’t a cartoon.
5. You know, “Sleepy” and “Pork Chop”
6. You know where the original Bully is buried.
7. You remember “The Junction” when there was no “The” and it was a “Malfunction”.
8. You don’t like the new hyphenated stadium names, but you understand why they are there.
9. You know the “back way” into campus, not on 82 or old 82 either!
10. You know that the last line to “Hail State” is really “Go to hell Ole Miss…”
11. You end the Star Spangled Banner with “Go to hell Ole Miss!!!”
12. Ole Miss is MSU’s in-state rival, while Alabama is the REAL rival.
13. You understand #12 and know that Tuscaloosa is only 82 miles away from Starkville.
14. You fondly refer to Starkville as StarkVegas.
15. You remember 25, 12, and 82 before any of them were “old”.
16. You know all about “Rick’s Rowdies” “You Bleed Maroon” “Maroon is the only color that matters…” and “Dan’s the Man!”
17. You saw Will Clark at Quincy’s in Starkvegas when he visited campus.
18. You remember standing in line at Allen Hall to pay tuition (before they moved it).
19. You and a buddy started a trend that lasted long after you left. (A buddy and me went to Hudson’s and picked up 2 MSU hats that were hunter orange with brown bills, Oklahoma State was coming into town, we wore them to the game, got put on the jumbotron, and ever since hunter orange has been visible at home football games).
20. After all this time, you still follow MSU through the good times and bad.
