In September of 2018, Mississippi State alums and fans were angered to find out the Bully statue that sits outside Davis Wade Stadium was vandalized. The vandalism appeared to be done by an Arkansas fan or fans, as Bully was painted red, and it had Woo Pig on the base of the statue.
It was a relatively easy clean up, but it still angered those who hold Mississippi State and its campus close to their hearts. With the vandalism taking place shortly after football season began, alums and fans both didn’t want visitors coming to campus and seeing the Bully statue in the state it was in after the vandalism incident.
