What ole miss fans are exceptionally good at.. and it should be required reading for anyone in marketing.. is bragging on themselves and keeping a hive mind mentality.

It's that cotton field, Delta culture. Kind of a desperate "we're fancy even though we live in a shithole" thing. The movie "The Help" is a good starter for understanding the culture. "We're rednecks but we're not white trash". It's endemic to the small agricultural communities in Arkansas east of Little Rock, too. Everybody's "deddy" comes "from money" and don't dare question it or look at the balance sheet.
