re: Best Visiting Fan Experience Arkansas or Ole Miss?

Arkansas isnt redneck AT ALL. WHATSOEVER.

Well, you won't see confederate battle flags on our college campus. That's one thing.

And Fayetteville probably isn't as "redneck" as Oxford if you're using traditional standards of "redneck". Fayetteville feels more like a Colorado town. I remember seeing a poster joke about the "honky tonks of Dickson street" like that was a thing. I don't have a memory of there being an actual honky tonk on Dickson Street, or a dedicated "country" music bar in downtown fayetteville for that matter.

Fayetteville takes pride in being open, really liberal, laid back and inclusive. We accept frat douches, but they don't run the place.

Oxford seems really republican and stuffy for a college town.

I agree with everything youve said. However, seeing the confederate flags at tents in the grove is few and far between these days to be honest. You will still see one from time to time but not that often.

I agree with that based on what ive heard and when I was there. FYI I wasnt saying FV is redneck, it is well known that FV is a chill-arse spot. I was making a sweeping generalization like your fellow hawg fan.

It's actually not at all. Yea the cops can be assholes and theres the stupid alcohol laws(which are going to change) but as someone who has lived here for 8 years, just trust me, Oxford is not what you see when you come to town for a football game. It's just not. It's a chill small north MS town with art, great music, literay history, and charm that then explodes into a gridlock of traffic and drunk football fans 7 weekends per Fall.

If you can get past all the families buttfricking each other then yeah I guess it is pretty.

What the frick does this have to do with a fricking town ... seriously you Arkansas people are really starting to annoy the frick out of me.

Yes Fayetteville is a VERY NICE place, I in fact love the place, but can y'all please stop with all the bullshite lies and false truths that you are spewing. Seriously the ignorance that is this thread is appalling.

Of Parties, Prose and Football

At Ole Miss, It's Give Me a T-A-I-L-G-A-T-E

At Ole Miss, the Tailgaters Never Lose

A College Town Where the Streets Are Paved in Magnolia

36 Hours | Oxford, Miss.

Literary Pilgrimages; William Faulkner


FWIW these people disagree with y'all ...

With that being said OP go to Fayetteville ( 36 Hours in Fayetteville, Ark.) then come see us in a few years

If you were drunk enough, there was some pretty good "country" juke boxes at some joints back in the day, though I used to hang out more with the Earl and Ernie crowd.

...and they're still jamming...mostly Earl and gang.

How does this even apply?

Why because out of 7 pages I make ONE post about being fed up with all this hogwash bullshite all the while there is post after post of swine butthurt on each page in this thread ... hmmm ...




That'll do pig ... that'll do

I love aspects of both, but if I had to choose it would be Ole Miss because of the better tailgating. But the bar scene is better at Arkansas. As are the fan amenities in the stadium.

This is fairly accurate. The Grove is great. Fayetteville has the edge with bars and music.

I love both towns. The people in Oxford are some of the most hospitable people there are from my experience.
