Or the fact that State and Starkville are lame as hell and you're an also-ran in Mississippi when it comes to national media. That has a shitload to do with the inferiority complex as I see it. Why else would you all do the "People's University" and "Mississippi's College Town" and "OUR State" bullshite?
LOL -- Hilarious. Clearly you are mad about all that. It's called "branding". It's also trying to differentiate and distance our brand from yours. In terms of marketing, I couldn't imagine anything being any more successful.

You're tired of us getting all of the attention. I can't say I blame you.
Tired of you getting what attention? You are a legend in your own mind -- and haven't done shite to justify it. The ONLY attention you've brought this way recently is negative -- and I'll leave it at that.

ETA - And clearly, as I just demonstrated, that shite didn't die with the Templeton regime. It still exists today - just look at the way your head coach behaves.
How does he behave? Feel free to link me to anything he's said or done in the past 12 months. If anything, he's the antithesis of the Templeton regime -- as is the entire movement of the university in present times.

Ole Miss endowment(2004-present) - $367-$469mil
Mississippi State endowment(2004-present) - $171-#347mil
Run the percentages and tell me just when you expect to be overtaken in this regard.
2018 projected(on average of previous growth rates): OM - $599.34 mil
MSU - $704.15 mil

I know what it's called. That doesn't mean that the brand isn't meant to tap into the desires or thoughts of the market. Y'all clearly know your (insecure) audience.

The Blind Side. The Help. New York Times articles. Wall Street Journal Articles. USA Today Articles. The Travel Channel. The Food Network.
For a small public university in a small state, we get a shitload of national media attention.

That's simply false. That's you seeing what you want to see.

TSUN. "We're never losing to this team again." Blaming Ole Miss for rumors that he was going to Penn State. Yadda yadda yadda.
The guy has done nothing but make Ole Miss the focus of his regime. Just because he's a brash smartass about it doesn't mean that he too is not tapping into the insecurity of the State fanbase.

Can I solve this for both of you? Lets play the odds here (what I'm good at, I own the blackjack table at Pearl River).
In general OM students are more wealthy. Not hard to argue that.
State students aren't generally poor either, most come from very successful farming families or business owners.
Now, MSU has a larger student body of recent years. The average salary of a graduate of both schools is pretty close to the same.
The reason MSU is trending upwards in donations is because a large volume of our student body (which is growing rapidly) are from Mississippi and grew up State fans.
Ole MIss has a large out of state population in their students, people who never followed OM sports and generally feel much less pride in their alma mater after they graduate. If one of these succeeds in life, he is less likely to make large donations to benefit the school. This decreases the chances of OM having large money boosters from in state.
State with the larger student body, mostly from in state, has a better chance because if a student graduate from there succeeds, (and with more students comes a higher likelihood of successful graduates) odds are greater he/she has always been a State fan and more inclined to donate.
