Hell yeah! I remember it well. The Jaws theme and the student section doing the "chomp". I don't recall anyone else other than the students and little kids such as myself participating. But it was fun.

That was my first MSU game as a kid and I remember the Jaws chomp well. That was an incredible football day in Jackson with MSU - UF in the afternoon and the renewal of the Ole Miss - Arkansas rivalry that evening when Lou Holtz brought the Hogs to town. I love the games on campus, but having an SEC doubleheader in the same stadium was pretty sweet.

I'm pretty sure MSU was doing the Jaws theme as early as 1980. As I posted in another thread, I got gypped out of the Alabama game that year, but my dad drove over with some of his friends. When he came back, he felt pretty dang guilty for leaving me behind, so he told me every single detail about his day....including this great new cheer the tubas were playing for the defense.
