The official mascot of Mississippi State is an American Kennel Club registered English Bulldog, named Bully. The use of a bulldog as the official game mascot began in 1935 when Coach Major Ralph Sasse traveled to Memphis to acquire a bulldog at the request of the team. He returned with Ptolemy, a gift of the Edgar Webster family. A littermate of Ptolemy became the first mascot called Bully.
