My cousin was boarding a plane in Nagoya, Japan where a stranger noticed his shirt and gave him a "Hail State!"

Got the same thing from an Ohio State fan at the coliseum in Rome back in 2014 because he recognized the baseball cap I was wearing.

I had a family member visiting Moscow five or six years ago. It a little shop off of Red Square, she found a matryoshka doll of Vick Ballard wearing his MSU uniform. Wish I still had the picture. One of the most random things on the planet.

I was encamped among the indigenous people of the Amazon basin for about 3 weeks. We had been hacking our way through the dense growth of the rainforest. During one of the many spiritual cleansing rituals, the Shaman offered me my ayahuasca in preparation for a night of hallucinating. I was drenched in sweat and already feeling a little light headed. Then he noticed my MAROON IS ALL THAT MATTERS t-shirt. He then promptly grabbed his spear and used the tip to carve #HAILSTATE into the dirt at my feet and whispered "Tyson Lee should have pitched the ball" into my ear.

Back in 2012, after asking the Pack for a great location to get away for a little while, I trekked over to Libya for some local culture and cuisine. One by one, though, the locals noticed my MSU hoodie, and came to greet me. They asked SO many questions about edam cheese, spreading the fun, and the Left Field Lounge. Without any information from me, though, they brought up both the Ticket Nazi and the Grill Nazi, and the crowd began to get angry. It ended up getting out of hand, but before I got out of there, NBC snapped this pic:

I don't remember where I saw it posted but I think it was on here. There was a snapshot of a guy on google street view in an MSU tshirt standing out in his yard somewhere like in the middle of Sweden.

I was finishing up in 96 when we had our Final Four run and the school had a record number of inquiries if I recall correctly.

The amount of exposure we have had this decade alone is phenomenal. It really makes me proud. When I came to Austin in 2007 I had few people recognize my MSU shirts or hats. It's a totally different story now, especially with Dak and our girls BB success.

We are living in great times, my friends.

Oh yeah, if you wore anything MSU related in Texas back during Dak's rookie year you were Mr./Ms. Popularity wherever you went.

Probably the same story today but haven't been back since then.

That is incredible.

That guy is standing in his yard, on an island (not even on the mainland in Denmark), a block and a half from the Baltic Sea, watching the Googlemobile ride by and take photos of his house.

Wearing an MSU t-shirt. That just blows my mind.

And who the hell found that guy?

Long time lurker, first time poster...

Similar story to FaustDawg but my family member visiting Moscow bought the doll and brought it home to me as a gift. However, mine is a "Madkin" doll. Here are the pics of mine since you couldn't locate yours.

Mississippi State is worldwide!!!

A Russian souvenir featuring a doll of.....Rob Knight? Absolutely unbelievable. That has to be the most random MSU sports memorabilia of all time.

I remember the story. Think his son was at State in 2011 and knew the car route and when google would be canvassing the area so called dad and asked him to stand there with the shirt on n

About two years ago I was standing on the banks of Loch Ness while wearing a MSU gameday polo. Suddenly the waters started to whirl and wouldn’t you know it Nessie comes out, looks me dead in the eye and says “I need tree fiddy”. I noticed he was wearing a Walkin Bully shirt so I said to buzz off, which prompted him to bite my arm off. I will never go to Scotland again.
