When players and fans from opposing teams enter Davis Wade Stadium to face Mississippi State, they are greeted by ringing of the university's infamous cowbells and constant "Hail State" chants from fans and alums.
Following the Ole Miss's 31–21 victory over the Bulldogs in the 2021 Egg Bowl, the Rebels decided to poke fun at the Mississippi State tradition. The Ole Miss official football account tweeted a picture of a cowbell that featured the mute notification from a phone, signaling that they silenced the ringing of the Bulldogs' bells in the win in Thursday's rivalry game.
