Who are some people you seemingly always see in Starkville or at a State event? As we all know, it seemed like there were 10 Gerald's, but who else falls into this category?

Jeremiah
Candyman
Wadedawg
The fat janitor that works in the union.

Also, not sure what Andrew Gambrell's status on campus is, but I used to see him everywhere - for about a 7 year span.

My gf says there are 4 Gambrells. One that lives in Starkville, one that lives in Oxford, one that lives in Hattiesburg, and one that lives in New Orleans.

Jeremiah is a early mid 30s black guy that is mildly special. He always is rocking Starkville high school gear. He still helps out at the school with the basketball and baseball teams. He just never left after he graduated hs.

Wadedawg is probably the biggest MSU fan there is. He's a younger kid. He is at every sporting event home or away, I see that guy everywhere. Our athletic accounts always tweet at him. He's probably the most noticeable as of late.

A lot of bars let Jeremiah "DJ". When in reality his computer is only plugged into his headphones. He only hears his music. Not the whole bar.

He's in the right field lounge for baseball games. Met him at my first game. He yells all game "Go back to that dugggggggout" and what not. I see him everywhere.

There's a black homeless guy I see on N Nash St all the time. Pretty sure he lives in my friends separate garage across from Coconuts.

Let me take a moment to complain about someone creating a twitter account with my old sixpack user name and making an annoying account. DawgBot is mine you sumbitch.

The bartender also keeps his cup full of cranberry juice.

Didn't know that.

My friends and I always stop and talk to Jeremiah. Nice guy. Loves him some MSU and Starkville High.

Side note, when'd you come back on here? (I'm sure you've been asked a few times).

Wade is from Madison and went to Madison Central. He and his dad are extremely nice people. I think his dad's full time job is to take care of Wade and to take him to every MSU sporting event. He's actually closer to our age though.

Do y'all have any older creepy guys that will hit on male students at the bars? Oxford has had a couple over the years.


If y'all did deltaland might have run them off.

That is a really interesting theory. Would explain how darkhorse claims to get close to Rick Ray's huddles.

Black street hustler that went by Howard... When I was up there my first semester of two, he used to come by and want to wash my truck for money with some varying sob story. Tried to sell me weed too a few times.

Fast forward 5 years -- and he came by my brother's house with an entirely different hustle on the opposite side of Starkville needing gas for his car, where he had "run out" up the street. Brother's roommate saw where his car had been backed into a parking spot at the nearby church. They called the former judge(can't remember his name -- maybe Mills) that lived in the neighborhood -- who promptly had several police units escort Howard out of the neighborhood and inform him he wasn't welcome back.

Funny thing was, my brother told me this story(without ever knowing mine) and couldn't remember the guy's name until I said it...

Wonder if he's still around? Seemed cracked out all the time.

I don't think I've ever been to a MSU sporting event where I haven't seen him either tailgating or at the game.

This. Wade is in his 20's and is a great Bulldog. Saw Mr. Brian at the game the other day. Brian is actually a geologist I think and works now. Could be wrong. His mom is a big whig at Bank Plus and again is an awesome lady. Don't see her at as many events at Wade and pops though. All around great people and great family and I'm not saying that just b/c they got me a good wedding gift.

Jeremiah is everywhere too and it's cool how the town just accepts him and lets him have fun. He would probably be ostracized in a bigger city.

The lady with the flower hats has to be on this list. Super friendly lady with the most artistic homemade hats and close ever.

Dan Camp gets a mention as well. See him often around town in his golf cart.
