Most media are also giant douchebags with a greatly over inflated opinion of themselves, so it is not surprising they would feel at home at Ole Miss

Good. Good to be proud of who you are, know who you are.

I am a technocrat and a douchebag.

So when they are "blown away" does it skew their opinion so much that they actually rank them above schools around the entire country in certain aspects? Like they just can't get over how shocked they were that OM just sticks in their mind?

That makes a lot of sense actually.

Does it bother you that most people view OM as a fun getaway and party school? It seems like that is OM's main selling point

Oh the irony of comparing Opelika to Oxford.

So it really is all about the narrative?


Pretty much. Kind of like how a lot of your fans are convinced your school/student body is wealthy, when by comparison to other schools, you really aren't.

I can't explain the groupthink other than it is very, very, very important to Ole Miss people for whatever reason.

I used the tone of even our overrated football team to convey that even though we suck, we are consistently projected higher than we should be.

You still haven't given a theory of how that groupthink translates to the media

If Oxford is so awesome why does nobody move there? Why do out of state graduates go back home and only return for game weekends?

I'm not going anywhere. I'm fulling admitting we are overrated on every level. I want serious theories on how we got the media to buy in.

Because it's not awesome, it's actually very mediocre. That's why I'm asking why does the media think otherwise. Have you read a single fricking post that I've made?

I'm from a culture less Celtic a little more Germanic, where being showy with or overly concerned with displays of wealth is the mark of trash.

I'm aware of the whole Delta boy "need to place" people for fear we're mistaken for sharecropper stock, etc. I understand that E. Ark/ Mississippi culture. I just don't really dig it.

Are you one of those creepy old dudes sitting in the back of the library offering shots to girls half your age?
