I would hope and expect that MSU brings 5-8 times as many fans as Wake...otherwise, their fanbase looks pretty pathetic. Large state school with 21K students, a localized alumni base, and closer proximity to Nashville vs a tiny 4K student private school, located in a state dominated by two large state schools, with an alumni base spread all over the place.
I am guessing it will about about twice as many
But I really have no idea. We travelled well to Jacksonville last year and that was three times as far away. From just talking to people, it seems like more are going this year. Now that I think about it, I'd say we'll have about 40k or so there. We may have almost 21k students but just five years ago, when I was there, we only had 16k.

Agreed... I would think though as a percentage of our school/living alumni we have some of the best support of any college.

That number is mostly meaningless anyway when you're one of two large state schools. You pick up fans just because of the Mississippi in your name. Our fanbase is far more weighted towards our tiny alumni base.
Not when you have no history of football success. MSU doesn't really have bandwagon fans fwiw. Sure there are those people who will just put on a t-shirt sometimes, but we don't have many fans that did not go to school but attend games. It's a lower percentage than most of the other SEC schools, at least.

You are kinda stuck between Ole Miss, Bama, and LSU; probably hard to pick up bandwagon fans. Is southern Miss. just overrun with LSU fans?
Definitely. Hattiesburg has more State and Ole Miss fans than USM fans and just as many LSU fans. I live about an hour west of Hattiesburg. Everyone who went to college is mostly State and Ole Miss fans. The oil field workers and cashiers are all LSU fans. I get pretty effin sick of seeing jacked up 4x4s with LSU crap all over them. All of the towns around here grew significantly after Katrina.

It's not bad but make sure you don't hit Shelby at a time of day hen you would expect a lot of traffic. There's a bunch of stoplights and things can get pretty jammed up in the afternoon. Shouldn't be too bad during the week after Christmas though.
