I, like you, am speaking from personal experience. In my experiences and in my various lines of work, I can say that few employers would even notice someone listing TAMU as their undergrad versus Ole Miss. It simply doesn't stand out.
This is what I've seen as well, but I'm in sales so they only care that you've received a degree. The main decision on whether or not to hire is based on your previous performance.

What matters:
1) Your network.
2) Your work experience
3) Your degree
In that order. The reason I put network first, is because that usually gets you the interview. Your work experience usually gets you the job, but if you don't have that, and no other applicants can compete with their work experience, then your degree can bail you out.
Nine times out of ten, an employer will hire an Ole Miss grad with a few years of relevant work experience over a Harvard grad with none.
