Maybe you're a little slow...
The name of the team is the Crimson Tide...that's what we're called.
The elephant is our mascot but has nothing to do with the name 'Crimson Tide.'

Basically the same thing as Auburn.

Why does MSU ring cow bells? Does it appeal to the hickish nature of the fans or have some team significance to the name 'bulldogs' I'm unaware of?

There are more cows in Starkville than Auburn.

Doubt they have any on their campus.
Scooter, when does LSU plan to change their name to the corndogs?
You could be the Corndogs with a tiger mascot!

USC- Trojans do not look like your mascot. (Roman Centurion)

It's a Hollywood thing.
They got the original Tommy Trojan uniform from the Ben Hur set (Chalrton Heston wore it in the chariot race) and it's just stuck. A rider name Richard Saukko was chosen to represent TT and his horse Traveler was named after the horse Robert E Lee rode in the Civil War.
So it's like most historically inacurate Hollywood movies. The myth becomes the legend.
Looks like another perfect day.

But that doesn't fit the SEC way of a team named something different than the mascot.
