Arkansas, LSU, and Tennessee don't have to spilt their state with another *big* football program (sorry Vandy)

If Ole Miss and State were one school, it would be an omnipotent football power.

I'm not sure they would be omnipotent but they would be quite a force to reckon with. Not to mention Southern Miss is a solid medium tier program. The Golden Eagles don't get the first rate players, unless they are over looked, but they do snap up quite a bit of the players that tend to fill out a football team.

I know I'm going to catch shite for saying this but up until recently, and by recently I mean the past 5-10 years, Ole miss was full of racist undertones. Why would any black athlete or American want to go there. I can remember going to the grove during the 90's and seeing very little black people in there tail gateing and people openly calling the black sororities and fraternities houses the "slave quarters." Why would any 4-5 star athlete subject themselves to that. Now I do admit the atmosphere there has changed for the better but you can't change the minds of the parents or grandparents of these athletes who still hold grudges against the school.
