In the heart of Mississippi,
Made by none but God's own hands,
Stately in her nat'ral splendor
Our Alma Mater proudly stands;
State College of Mississippi,
Fondest mem'ries cling to thee,
Life shall hoard thy spirit ever,
Loyal sons we'll always be.

Chorus:
Maroon and White! Maroon and White!
Of thee with joy we sing;
Thy colors bright our souls delight,
With praise our voices ring.

Tho' our life some pow'r may vanquish,
Loyalty can't be o'er run;
Honors true on thee we lavish
Until the setting of the sun;
Live Maroon and White for ever,
Ne'er can evil mar thy fame,
Nothing us from thee can sever,
Alma Mater we acclaim.

State's 2008 Football Season

Since MSU had such a good football season in 2007, State has high expectations for this season. Granted, the game against Louisiana Tech was a big upset, State's victory against Southeastern Louisiana helped boost moral. This upcoming game against Auburn should produce a large crowd, especially with it being Bulldog Bash weekend featuring Matt Wertz and Gavin DeGraw. Come and support our 2008 MSU football team!
