Mississippi State fans are known for ringing cowbells, and the noise is a fixture at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi. The stadium, home of the Bulldogs since 1914, seats about 60,311. Mississippi State is a founding member of the Southeastern Conference, and its biggest rivalry is the Egg Bowl against Ole Miss. The school's rivalry with LSU has earned the unofficial nickname "Cajuns vs. Cowbells." The season schedule is below, and we add kickoff times and TV information as soon as they are official.
