I don't know, but a quick search brought up this and I need one badly...
The more I look at this the more obvious it is that this is a depiction of the cowbell murder of an elderly Confederate gentleman by a very large bulldog.
I'm not sure this can be produced and sold in standard retail outlets today.

That’s actually my old cowbell that I handed down to my daughter!
My uncle was a state alum prior to the Korean War. He had a few of OP posters laying around and I was gifted one. Never have known much about it other than its antique state memorabilia. Thought I’d take a gander and see if anybody on here would have some insight.
I'm guessing you're going to get a good answer eventually, but it looks like some stuff I remember from the 70's ish era.
I love those old Norman Rockwellesque program covers from the 50's and 60's. Always said I'd start a collection of them but never got around to it.
I agree with She Mate Me that it appears to be in the 70's era but I was a State in the 70's and do not remember this one. Maybe late 60's?
I would date it in late 1980 as a commemoration of the 1980 season. Note the three opponents depicted: shitheads, gumps and corndogs.
Can you make out the signature of the cartoonist?
Looks like it's left of the holster.

He is the artist that created Aubie. He has since passed, but still has a good amount of vintage college football art on the interwebs.
Great find.
I think the 1980 Sun Bowl in El Paso is probably right. If anybody has a program from that game I wonder if this artwork was used in it somewhere, or maybe just a promotional piece done for the game.
It’s definitely not.
I have the Sun Bowl program somewhere- or did have.
Now I’m going to have to go and look for it.
It has a navy blue cover with a rising sun in the lower right corner if I remember correctly.
And a picture of Sun Bowl stadium.
Yeah, I had it at one time. I just meant the artwork might be inside it somewhere. Probably not though.
That 17er's got character (and looks like it might of hit a few)
I know of at least three times it's seen the inside of a police station and one time it got confiscated at an egg bowl after being arrested and I had to steal it back from the police.
I love the fact the colonel reb hat band says "Jr. College", that is awesome.
I have the same sticker on my oldest cowbell. Would love to find reprints of that sticker. The clapper on my bell flew off at a game at Memorial Stadium in Jackson. Some random guy had one of those 'all in one' pocket tools and we removed a square bolt from the bleachers and installed it. It is still there and has a distinctive sound. This dates to late '70's or early '80's.
