As agriculture is rooted in MSU's roots (it was once, as Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science announced), uses sports teams are called the University Aggies. But as the years continue, MSU began to excel in areas other than agriculture, so a contest for a new MSU nickname was held.
