There's two things you don't do when it comes to the Midwest.
1. Interact in any capacity with the Ohio-Michigan rivalry.
And
2. Insult the cheese heads one thing.
First, I'd go one word on "cheesehead." (Also, to be a complete pedant--I'm an English teacher--it would be "cheeseheads' one thing.")
But that's not why I'm here.
We're also known for absolute, professional drunkenness. Please don't sell our talents short, Farm. :)
I'm fine with this comparison. Bad news MSU, we're about to drop a 15 minute live cheese show on national cheese day(apparently over 2 weeks ago on June 4th) that you'll never be able to recover from.
Lmao, I knew this would get y’all going.
But seriously if you are every around the area, go check out the MAFES store on State’s campus. Check it out, everything in the store is made by the school on campus as part of teach and research. I actually think the ice cream is the best product, but they have a lot of stuff and the ball of Edam is by far the most popular product.
https://www.msucheese.com
There’s a link to their site, they only ship in the fall for Christmas but it all sells out instantly.
Here’s some info about how it’s made: https://www.msucheese.com/about-msu/
Oh yeah, it's all in good fun, good cheese is good cheese. I'll return the favor with Wisconsin's campus dairy producer! Essentially the same function as what's on your campus, it's a part of the Dairy Sciences program. https://babcockdairystore.wisc.edu/ If you get the chance to have Babcock ice cream, it's unreal
Yeah anything that isn’t mass produced cheese is going to be some great stuff in my opinion; yall fight about top rank and im just here for quality cheese as a cheese snob
Not gonna lie--never knew this. I road trip a lot, so this is absolutely going on my to-do list :)
Also, my neighbor up here in Cheese Land is from Mississippi and went to MSU, so I kinda like you guys now.
As someone who doesn’t like State, their cheese is unbelievably good. My dad, who’s a bigger Ole Miss than I am, only asks for Edam cheese for Christmas
RIP Coach Leach, but we can offer another noted cheese afficianado alum:
https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2018/3/8/17096680/how-to-cook-andy-reids-famous-mac-n-cheese-recipe
Look y'all all Ole Miss people will vouch for Edam cheese. There's a waitlist to buy it for a reason. Having some at your tailgate is a flex.
That said I would love to try WSUs and Wisconsins offerings some day!
I got to checkout and was so excited for some Cougar Gold... Only to find my 2 lb, $33 order required $60 of shipping 😭
I can't justify it cougar bro I'm so sorry
> Look y'all all Ole Miss people will vouch for Edam cheese.
I think this the first time in history that people from Mississippi are willing to go to the mattresses for the Dutch.
I feel like a fight between Wisconsin and Mississippi state is gonna break out with a bunch of cheez it’s gathered around them yelling, “cheese, cheese, cheese”
Yeah when I ordered their cheese I didn’t pay close attention to weights.
4 different varieties almost 10 pounds of cheese.
10/10 would order this again.
It's just gonna be a 30s fight between a badger and a bulldog with the commercial ending zoomed in on the face of one of them, bloodied, as the lights of life just fade from its eyes. Then 2-3 seconds of silence with the words "Cheez-Its" on screen.
Bro someone gave me some cheddar from WSU and it was in a can. After a few weeks of it sitting in my fridge, I cracked the can open.... and it changed my life.
I'm upvoting a--checks notes--Duck flair? To support a--checks notes--point of Cougar pride? I literally can think of nothing else I would do that for. Cougar Gold is that good.
I will say, Oregon (among other things) can claim Animal House which is my all time favorite movie. I watched that movie my first night at college for the first time and then my college experience proceeded to be nothing like that.
Still love the movie though.
Yeah, I'll Stan for Cougar Gold before I'll Stan for Tillamook cheese made at the creamery. And that's not meant to be a knock on Tillamook cheese so much as a testament to how great Cougar Gold is. My dad has been getting Cougar Gold for longer than I've been alive (over 3 decades) and it's still the best cheese I've ever had.
Indeed, though you can still smell the cow manure driving in to Tillamook. Their national production has exceeded what Tillamook as a city can handle so I get it. It's been too long since I've been, that creamery is way too busy most of the time.
But yes Cougar Gold is and always has been way better.
The secret to cougar gold is you buy it as a holiday gift for someone at a family gathering, then make sure they open it while you're there so you can eat half of it yourself.
Oh SHIT yall done fucked around and summoned Wisconsin.
*[pouring precautionary beer mimosas]*
It’s all fun and games until you awaken the dairy supremacists.
Wisconsin has the most cheese.
Not sure who has the best cheese.
I think I’m gonna need both UW and Miss St to send me some samples of their best cheeses so we can get to the bottom of this.
A ball of MSU Edam will literally change your life. My company orders about 100 a year to give out to our “best” customers at Christmas (to rave reviews). Let’s just say it pays to be the boss…..
Oh you're fuckin dead Mississippi State
You two should fight, i mean play.
Do it naked. I mean….naked.
🗣️GRAB HIS DICK AND TWIST IT
The old dick twist!
Oh my god dude this is an MMA fight
You twist that dick!
so thats how they get the milk for wisconsin cheese
And by play, I mean fight.
Kill them Wisconsin KILL THEMMMMMMM!!!!!
***JUMP AROUND ON THEIR BROKEN BODIES … AND CHEESE WHEELS!!!***
JUMP JUMP
Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin
Diss my Brick, that’s a sin.
My cheddar don't slack up, punk ya better back up
Talk shit about my Brie and the whole crew will act up!
Gouda, Feta, c’mon throw your hands up

BYU: "We're sober." MSU: "We obviously are not."
Wisconsin: “I’m not even getting started”
“because that would imply I ever stopped.”
You'll need to be specific, I don't want my MSU being drawn into the Dairy Rage (TM)
Don’t sleep on the msu dairy store ice cream
If you could produce a bed sized pile of it, I absolutely would.
I legitimately laughed out loud at this Show 'em who's boss Bucky
There's two things you don't do when it comes to the Midwest. 1. Interact in any capacity with the Ohio-Michigan rivalry. And 2. Insult the cheese heads one thing.
DO NOT sneak by us to grab the ranch without saying ope. WE WILL kill you.

Michigan has great beer, and since Wisconsin is shaped like a squidbilly cosplaying as Michigan I’m inclined to believe you.
Wisconsin has a good beer making game and all, but they are better than anyone else at drinking it
First we had Kendrick v Drake, now we get MSU v UW. Fuck yeah
The crown is heavy
Who is really cheesin fam ?
Wisconsin is the Kendrick Lamar of Cheese
I'm fine with this comparison. Bad news MSU, we're about to drop a 15 minute live cheese show on national cheese day(apparently over 2 weeks ago on June 4th) that you'll never be able to recover from.
Tried to strike a Curd, but it's probably American
*Psst, I see cheese people* (Custard on the beat, ho)
Drop the muenster, take the cannoli Wisconsin
Did someone say cannoli?
Get em, Badger!
This is one fight that I’ll March under enemy banners. Hail ~~state~~ Wisconsin
Sic [Wisconsin Julia](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzeErkAsrHX/) on those posers. “Oh my gosh I love cheese! … and, uh, Münster? Münster’s gooood.”
Lol, I love that. "OOOH MY GOSH I LOVE CHEESE"
I'll fucking back you on this one.
Thanks boo. And fuck the Gophers
I got garlic dill cheese curds in the store in the Madison Airport that changed my life last summer
I just ate and I'm hungry again, those sound so good
Lmao, I knew this would get y’all going. But seriously if you are every around the area, go check out the MAFES store on State’s campus.

2025 BATTLE OF THE GOLDEN CHEESE WHEEL RIVALRY BEGINS
Beer drinking and best cheese. Two titles you won't be able to pry from our hands. Even when they are cold and dead.... or just passed out.
Miss st claiming best cheese would be like iowa claiming best mountains
You have no idea. Their cheese really is that good.
Yeah, but Wisconsin alone does better than most countries at the international cheese competition.
As someone who doesn’t like State, their cheese is unbelievably good. My dad, who’s a bigger Ole Miss than I am, only asks for Edam cheese for Christmas
Yeah this is a big IYKYK situation Edit: GET THE MUSCADINE ICE CREAM
You’ll think twice when I roll these balls of cheese on you
Sorry but y’all gotta get in line behind WSU
I respect Cougar Gold as much as the next guy. It's great cheese. But there's only one Dairy State
God damnit, I'm certain BYU alum Coach Mike Leach would have been the perfect person to weigh in on this. RIP CML
TIL leach went to BYU
he graduated from BYU with his bachelors degree but didn’t play football cause of an ankle injury and played Rugby instead.
Ah yes, rugby, the much less intense and safer option
Ugh, Leach was such a treasure
*Is No one will ever replace or come close to how absurdly entertaining and genuine he was. Fuck I miss him.
“Wisconsin Cheese is just like Candy Corn. You open the bag and dump it in the trash. Then you go get some Mississippi State Cheese.”
BYU has Dad's ordering chocolate milk in July. It's wild.
RIP Coach Leach, but we can offer another noted cheese afficianado alum: https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2018/3/8/17096680/how-to-cook-andy-reids-famous-mac-n-cheese-recipe
Wisconsin, Mississippi State and WSU flairs all in on this Begun, the Cheese Wars have.
Finally, peak college drama.
Look y'all all Ole Miss people will vouch for Edam cheese. There's a waitlist to buy it for a reason. Having some at your tailgate is a flex. That said I would love to try WSUs and Wisconsins offerings some day!
You can order it right now! https://cougarcheese.wsu.edu/
It’s so good. I order them around the holidays in a few varieties, cut it, vacuum seal and give them out to friends and family.
Mf are you slinging cougar gold?
I have been known to, yep. I like a variety but can’t eat it all myself.
I got to checkout and was so excited for some Cougar Gold... Only to find my 2 lb, $33 order required $60 of shipping 😭 I can't justify it cougar bro I'm so sorry
I think in the summer it requires faster shipping depending on where you live since it’s hot. But winter I think shipping costs are much lower.
Cougar Gold, from the finest milking cougars around.
> Look y'all all Ole Miss people will vouch for Edam cheese. I think this the first time in history that people from Mississippi are willing to go to the mattresses for the Dutch.
I feel like a fight between Wisconsin and Mississippi state is gonna break out with a bunch of cheez it’s gathered around them yelling, “cheese, cheese, cheese”
Then Wazzu comes in with a chair
My Gawd! That’s the cougars music!!
Cougar Gold!!!
the winner is who woke up feeling the cheesiest
We know what we have in Wisconsin. We don't need to slum in the minor leagues.
Now a matchup with WSU. That’s appropriate here
Just put it in the Cheez-It Bowl!!!
Washington State has AMAZING cheese
It's called cougar gold for a reason
Yeah when I ordered their cheese I didn’t pay close attention to weights. 4 different varieties almost 10 pounds of cheese. 10/10 would order this again.
I woke up feeling the cheeziest coach!
This year's Cheez-It commercials are about to be wild.
It's just gonna be a 30s fight between a badger and a bulldog with the commercial ending zoomed in on the face of one of them, bloodied, as the lights of life just fade from its eyes. Then 2-3 seconds of silence with the words "Cheez-Its" on screen.
hol up
Huskies support Cougar Gold
[удалено]
That dill garlic or the hot pepper sound great.
I’m with the Cougs on this one. Cougar Gold is amazing
This should be evidence enough
Add me to the stack. Cougar Gold clears
Continuing the chain of fandoms that shouldn’t be agreeing yet set differences aside because this is cheese, god damnit. Cougar Gold goes haaaard.
I agree with the Griz flair, Cougar Gold is amazing.
Now we just need an Idaho to complete the set
Add me also to the Cougar Gold fan list.
It's threads like this that reminds us that football rivalries aren't important. What's important is defending our food as better than your's.
Gonna have to agree with you on this one. Cougar Gold is incredible
Bro someone gave me some cheddar from WSU and it was in a can. After a few weeks of it sitting in my fridge, I cracked the can open.... and it changed my life.
Y’all would be in shambles if this was true, but it’s not. Cougar Gold is it
Get em
(Spits out my cougar gold) …excuse me?
That’s just a waste of perfectly good Cougar Gold.
Well the statement was so shocking!
That’s like spilling alcohol man
(Picks up your bite off the ground and eats it when nobodys looking... shits expensive yo).
This is Cougar Gold erasure and I will not stand for it. I will fight for WSU and their cheese.
I'm upvoting a--checks notes--Duck flair? To support a--checks notes--point of Cougar pride? I literally can think of nothing else I would do that for. Cougar Gold is that good.
I will give Wazzu their due credit for Cougar Gold Cheese, Rainier Cherries, Cosmic Crisp Apples and Edward R. Murrow.
And Keith Jackson?
Especially Keith Jackson
I will say, Oregon (among other things) can claim Animal House which is my all time favorite movie. I watched that movie my first night at college for the first time and then my college experience proceeded to be nothing like that. Still love the movie though.
Yeah, I'll Stan for Cougar Gold before I'll Stan for Tillamook cheese made at the creamery. And that's not meant to be a knock on Tillamook cheese so much as a testament to how great Cougar Gold is. My dad has been getting Cougar Gold for longer than I've been alive (over 3 decades) and it's still the best cheese I've ever had.
Well considering almost none of the Tilamook cheese cows are actually in Tilamook County….thats a wise choice. Plus Cougar Gold is fucking awesome
Indeed, though you can still smell the cow manure driving in to Tillamook. Their national production has exceeded what Tillamook as a city can handle so I get it. It's been too long since I've been, that creamery is way too busy most of the time. But yes Cougar Gold is and always has been way better.
Lunch and then an ice cream cone at the creamery is an afternoon well spent.
I respect Tilamook, but Cougar Gold is goated
I really want this cheese now
[Here's a link to make that dream a reality if you so desire.](https://creamery.wsu.edu/cougar-cheese/)
I was all in until I hit the $60 shipping 🤣
The secret to cougar gold is you buy it as a holiday gift for someone at a family gathering, then make sure they open it while you're there so you can eat half of it yourself.
It's just $12 for normal shipping! Express shipping costs that $60.
Yeah, I understand Wisconsin sourcing most of the outrage, but Wazzu absolutely deserves a seat at this table.
OK, just wanted to check and make sure that somebody chimed in with Cougar Gold. Phew.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA… Pause, breath. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
It's like if the CFL champion challenged the NFL champion.
Oh SHIT yall done fucked around and summoned Wisconsin. *[pouring precautionary beer mimosas]* It’s all fun and games until you awaken the dairy supremacists.
And... I think they might be sober... Source: I just saw them down 5 beers in order to kill their hangover.
So...ber? WTF does that mean?
It's what happens between when you wake up after not drinking enough last night, and when you start drinking today.
The trick is to always stay drunk
Gotta do something to thin out the cholesterol in the blood stream.
Bloody Mary, full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails Pray for me now at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon
Shit, if they ever stopped drinking the cumulative hangover would kill them.
Listen. The cheese is all that we have left. You'll have to pry that title out of our cold dead hands, Bulldogs.
Wisconsin slander!
Wisconsin has the most cheese. Not sure who has the best cheese. I think I’m gonna need both UW and Miss St to send me some samples of their best cheeses so we can get to the bottom of this.
Only fair way to do it. I'll join you for a second opinion.
I never thought I'd eat cheese side by side with a wolverine.
How about with a friend?
Have you ever shared cheese with a Poke?
No but I'm rootin tootin ready. Never eat cheese alone unless you're alone or with somebody.
Might as well make it a party. This wildcat will bring the bourbon! (Who needs wine for cheese anyways)
Seems like a Wisconsin / WSU matchup is appropriate here
We’ve won the last two, might as well make it 3-0.
At the WSU @ Wisconsin game the WSU alumni association had a pregame event and had a cheese off. Twas good.
Cougar Gold definitely has something to say about this and I’m saying that as a Husky.
I second this sentiment, Cougar Gold is fantastic.
Damn I’ve been o Starkville and didn’t try the cheese. FUCK
Pro tip. If you go to a land grant agricultural school, try the cheese and/or the ice cream
Cougar gold slaps
The off-season shit posts this sub deserves
Everything in the MAFES store at State is top shelf.
Excuse me.
That doesn't look like Cougar Gold to me....
\*laughs in Cougar Gold\*
Cougar Gold would like a word, my dude
Too fuckin far
[Cougars have entered the chat](https://creamery.wsu.edu/cougar-cheese/)
hahaha. Cougar Gold trumps all
Hasn’t enough shit happened to Washington State this year? Now someone is going after their cheese crown? I mean when is enough, enough?
Can confirm it’s fire. I have a friend who gets us this every year for Christmas.
Cougar Gold clears
Wait no go back to flexing lower prices damn you BYU social media team for pushing this in the wrong direction
"Coldest chocolate milk", so the coldest refrigerators? Not fully sure what the flex is there.
I had the coldest chocolate milk of my life the other day. It’s called ice cream
That sounds nice... You think they have other flavors? Maybe some cheese based flavors?
i must say i’ve never been to wisconsin, but edam cheese is probably the best cheese i’ve ever had in my life
Cougar Gold would like a word.
Why is Mississippi State rage bating Wisconsin?
Why not?
If you’ve never had MSU’s Edam cheese or muscadine ripple ice cream, you’re really missing out
Cougar Gold exists...
Edam cheese is amazing.
ITT: people who have never tried this cheese say it can’t be the best
Fucking thank you.
Cougar Gold reigns supreme.
ND has the best Touchdown Jesus in college football.
As a Husky fan I have to say it’s Cougar Gold and then everyone else
A ball of MSU Edam will literally change your life. My company orders about 100 a year to give out to our “best” customers at Christmas (to rave reviews). Let’s just say it pays to be the boss…..
Are they forgetting WSU still exists?
HEY! I HEAR YOU, YOU DIRTY CHEESEHEADS! NO ONE SLANDERS THE MAFES CHEESE STORE ON MY WATCH!
Wrong
The cheese is great, but don’t miss the chocolate ice cream. I always got some when my grandmother took me the State basketball games
As a State alum living in Madison... Wisconsin. This is starting some arguments in my friend circles.
*The State of Wisconsin has entered the chat*
