Has anyone ever considered the definition of the word Starkville?

If you look up the word "stark" on Google, you'll find that it has two definitions, the first one being the one I use.
It says it means "severe or bare in appearance or outline"
So in essence, Starkville literally means "bare town."
I think the description matches the area.

Skip Bertman said it's an old indian word for "trailer park"
So I believe him over whatever that google thing is.

It took me forever to put 2 and 2 together with my hometown. Lakeland sure does have lotsa lakes.
I was a "special" child.

Cheap, ignorant, bad taste, unexposed, untraveled, unread. The men in camouflage, the women eating slop out of a trough as they wander around aimlessly attempting to socialize within their NASCAR culture. Shithole town, school, and fanbase. I expect their heads to explode this November as king crab escapes the bucket permanently

I'll live in a place in the country far removed from the city anyday

The Stark family was pretty badass and my favorite family in Westeros, so the city of the Starks sounds pretty awesome to me. Winter is coming, my dude.

I've been to every SEC town (except Lexington and Mizzou) Starkville is a perfectly nice college town. College Station is the worst, not Starkville.

Nothing there but stadium drunkards.

If you can't have fun in any of the SEC towns, then you are a miserable son of a bitch and I feel sorry for you

My favorite Starky story was when Johnny Cash got locked up for picking flowers late in the night.
I like Mississippi, including Starkville. I guess because so many South Carolinians moved there after the soil here went bad in places after constant cotton planting for decades.
I have eaten twice at the "Old Southern Tearoom."
No people in this country have ever been braver than those in Vicksburg during the Yankee seige. The Tearoom had/has the best lemon pie I have ever tasted in a restaurant and the corn dish was excellent.

The very first thread I ever started on here was basically the same as this one back in 2010. It fills me with shame now, as you should currently be feeling.

I'm concerned that you just learned the definition of stark, or at least thought it was a rarely known word that the definition had to be linked and quoted.
This is definitely why Starkville was named, couldn't possibly have anything to do with General John Stark.
