7 Sports Traditions Related to Ag


Cowbells

Cowbells

Fans of Mississippi State University Bulldogs football ring cowbells to support the team.

The history of the tradition is unclear but dates back to a game against arch-rival Mississippi.

A jersey cow apparently wandered onto the field during the game, which Mississippi State won handily. The students adopted the cow as a good luck charm and started bringing cows to future games.

Fans eventually discontinued that practice in favor of the cowbell.
