From elite dawgs - I'm starting to think a cult is forming

So the ancestors of miss state fans were all all loyalist?

"There is an entirely different thought process and culture involved with both fanbases and pervades both campuses. OM fans and alum have to maintain this image of wealth, power, the charm and gentility of the Old South. It's what people expect of them, and it's they give them. However, all the Old South ever was, really, was a chimera, smoke and mirrors from the start. Behind that massive, white washed plantation house was thousands of unwilling servants, poor white people, and the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few so tightly that it would make Soviet Russia blush, all tumbling together in a massive powder keg of social tension. That culture was so top heavy that it could never last, and it didn't.

Now, fast forward a century-and-a-half, and you have the crumbling facade of that culture. Ole Miss is the same white washed plantation, but the master and mistress that once owned it are now living well above their income shining and washing things bought on exorbitant credit all so the neighbors, the prying eyes of the outside world--God forbid--never cross the threshold and see that inside the old structure is nothing but rotted floors and angry ghosts that were even faker and more pretentious than it's current occupants.

You can buy all of the Sperry Topsiders and hang as many chandeliers as there are branches in the grove and never recreate that time so long ago that was never more than a mirage anyway. Lipstick on a pig don't make it no less swine.

At State, we are what we are. We're common folks. We've never been ashamed of that, and we never will."
