Late in Mississippi State’s Egg Bowl blowout of hated rival Ole Miss, the MSU band dialed up a rendition of “Baby Shark,” a years-old children’s song about sharks that goes viral for one reason or another to this day. Well, on this day ...
Mississippi State’s band zapped the Ole Miss Landsharks with the perfect tune

... the reason is that Ole Miss’ new mascot is a shark. That’s him in the photo above.
A while back, the Rebels changed from having a racist uncle as a mascot to a bear for a while, but now the bear gets to live in the woods, because they’ve created an abomination before God — a shark that walks and can’t breathe — and forced it to serve them on the sidelines while wearing clothes.

Mississippi State showed solidarity with Tony the Landshark by playing him the song of his people, a song about a family that must “run away, doo doo doo doo doo doo” until it’s “safe at last, doo doo doo doo doo doo,” according to one interpretation of the lyrics.
Each year, the Egg Bowl is our slapping-est, spitting-est, cussing-est rivalry, and 2018 was no exception. In addition to the band’s diss track, we had a huge brawl that led to ejections, sideline-wide penalties, and Ole Miss’ QB right in the middle of a dustup. It’s a really good rivalry.
