I see it happen here in DFW any time I see a State fan…. The day after we beat UConn in the final four, a young Chick-fil-a worker saw my shirt and said “Awesome win, Hail State!”. She wasn’t even a State fan, so I’m glad to see it’s become known.
What are your most and least favorite MSU traditions?.....

Mic man….
. I’m glad that one didn’t make it past 2000. That was cringey.I think we have too many white fans with no rhythm that butcher the cheer. Maybe the band could keep playing or something…. It’s an epidemic for sure. But I’ve heard more than a few rushed rammer jammers, as well.
Exactly.
And that leads back to my second point.....if you see a State fan b*tching about Hail State, it's most likely that they are one of those people who cares entirely what other people and fanbases think.
I HATE the bad to the bone song.
I like the "we're going to beat rye hell out of you" before the game and "we just beat the hell out of you" after the game.
One I haven't seen mentioned...
one of my favs is the "Go State, Go State!" Fan fare.
Chiming in on "Hail State", as an older fan that said "Go State" as a greeting. I like Hail State better as a greeting. However 9 of 10 I usually receive back awkward looks and a Go Dogs. Come on people, Hail State!!!.

maybe not a tradition, but I like it.
"Chri White you know he ready"
Least: Maroon White
"Chri White you know he ready"
Least: Maroon White
I absolutely HATE Maron/Whit cheer, especially at baseball games. Because us usually one guy says maron and the people next to Him say whit! It’s clownish. And maroon was Bugs Bunny’s favorite description of loser characters.
Least favorite tradition is how much we complain about our traditions. Literally every school in the SEC has some call and response chant like “Maroon/White” (e.g., “Game/Cocks”) or a three syllable annoying cheer (e.g., “L-S-U”), but ours sucks for some reason.
Most favorite may be the cowbells, although I’m really over them at games and way over them outside of the stadium. I like them more on the shelf . #old
Most - Go to hell ole miss after the prayer prior to national anthem
Least - Cowbells. Were fine in the 80s and 90s when had to be sneaked in. Now everybody has one, and the thrill of breaking the rule is gone.

"Don't Stop Believing" is too closely associated with the Clintons for my taste. Hated that song ever since Bill was elected.
Man y’all have this hard on for stuff you don’t even know about.
Hailstate started under Stricklin.

Least by a wide margin is MW cheer. Awful.
Second least: timing of some of our baseball fans who start the MW cheer
Doing the Left right left right chant and then yelling SIT DOWN right as we are taking free throws. The damn students do it ever time.
I stopped listening to T&L because of their constant complaints about the MState logo.

Still like it but it needs a re-edit to shorten and sharpen it up a bit (and I won't get started on the sound system). I will say they did a great job of cutting it into the Sweet Dreams video with Farrell playing right along with the song.
Dan Mullen used "Don't Stop Believing" Journey 1981 - before the fourth quarter
The Clintons used "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" - Fleetwood Mac 1977 - when he first ran for President
Very different songs, very different artists, very different usage, and different people (but equally dislikable.)
IMO, our fight song is top notch. Notre Dame and Memphis have good ones too. Hail STATE is here to stay and I like it. I like seeing STATE gaining steam as well.
I cringed when our fans in Virginia were chanting "SEC" at the baseball regional we won. Hope I never see / hear that again. And speaking of VA, I still hate we didn't let Grisham's son walk on. I hope we don't let 17 ups like that become a tradition.
LFL, DNF and attendance records are great traditions. And let's not forget our Cheese.

Thank you for clearing that up. Reading those other posts made me think I was having a stroke.
Most- Mississippi State people. Very good, decent people.
Least- Calling Mississippi State "The People's University". Sounds too Communist to me
At least we didn't trans it to Dudette.
In no order, here are a few -
Most
- Dawg Pound Rock (never forget the '99 Egg Bowl)
- Chimes and music from the Chapel of Memories (specfically "Hail State")
- Hank Flick annoucning basketball
- Some of our vintage logos that never got a chance to have long lives (1959-1979)
- "Maroon, White, Bulldog Blitz" chant with the signs (early '80s)
Least
- "Maroon-White" chant. It is vanilla and always ends weak (like most of our pre-game)
- Helmets and logos - We always have to change something every 2-3 years. No consistency
- "Hail Hydra".,.errrr... "State" (and NO hastags)
- "Bad To The Bone" and Bully riding a "Bone"-mobile (smh)
- Driving to Jackson to see MSU play football games

May be one of the best clips ever in MSU history and two quotes I'll never forget --
"Man wide open!......CJ Cirmones!....Touchdown!"
"And the Dawg Pound Rock...(uh oh)....I gotta say...that is the best thing going" (and it really was)
Yeah it could be a pain in the neck but parking and spending the night at the family’s Fondren house was good.
And then there was the time when the MSU buses with Highway Patrol escorts passed me on the Trace going around 70-75. I let them go ahead a bit and then followed them at the same speed.
