MISSISSIPPI STATE SPIRIT SQUADS
Welcome to the official home of the Mississippi State Spirit Squads!
ALL-GIRL & COED CHEER OVERVIEW
Mississippi State Cheerleaders are an integral part of the gameday atmosphere and the overall athletic experience. Our program proudly supports MSU Football, Basketball, and other sports throughout the year. We represent Mississippi State University at SEC Tournaments, NCAA and Bowl Games, bringing energy and spirit to every stage. We also compete at the national level, participating in NCA College Nationals alongside the country’s top programs—earning the title of Two-Time NCA Collegiate National Champions in 2025!
DANCE TEAM OVERVIEW
Mississippi State Dancers are a crucial part of our game-day atmosphere and cherished spirit traditions. We perform at MSU Football, Basketball, and other campus events, bringing energy and school pride to every performance. Our team travels to support Bulldog Athletics at SEC Tournaments, NCAA competitions, and Bowl Games, representing Mississippi State on some of the biggest stages in college sports. We also compete nationally at NDA College Nationals, where we proudly earned 2nd place in 2025 during our debut appearance.
MASCOT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Mississippi State’s beloved mascots, Bully and Belle, bring unmatched passion and energy to all things Maroon and White. Whether it’s hyping up the crowd at home sporting events, engaging with fans across campus, or spreading Bulldog spirit in the community, our mascot program plays a vital role in the Mississippi State experience. Bully and Belle proudly travel to support MSU Football, Basketball, and other sports throughout the year, and represent the university at SEC Tournaments, NCAA competitions, Bowl Games, and national competition events. In 2025, our mascot program played an integral role in bringing a national championship home to Starkville!
