I can tell you as a former Roadrunner, we were told that specifically. I guess they didn't do military drills on the Drill field either.

I think maybe you or others just got it mixed up. It was designed after a mess hall in West Point. And that mess hall may have been designed to avoid bombings.

There was no fear of being bombed at MSU.

being specifically told something that is false....doesn't make it true.

And this has what to do with you being wrong about the cafeteria? the Ole Miss ROTC does some drills in the Grove...Does that have anything to do with how the Lyceum was designed?




























*the answer is no...btw.

Not to mention, there were probably 5,000 people in Starkville at the time

That's just like when people in Tupelo started losing their shite thinking they might get bombed by ISIS.

Safe bet ISIS doesn't give a shite about Elvis. Quit taking your kids out of school.

I built my house to look like a bar so people would go there to get bombed.

WWI was "The war to end all wars". Bombings in Starkville?

Every band member in the pool in that photo got the clap in France in 1942... And they all died... But not in Europe... They died at Guadalcanal... Except for the kid that played 3rd chair trombone... He was highly decorated and almost won the Medal of Honor...

It was built after World War I and before World War II. It was a legitimate concern at the time.


Yankee bombers, I presume.

Abraham Lincoln III was going to bomb Starkville, amirite?

How long did that take you to come up with? Kids like DT Shackelford are role models, I hate the word heroes when it comes to the majority of athletes.
