This is in the OP, but I'll post it again.
If a reference is made and it is obscure, please explain.
Thanks everyone.

The heartbreak kid with Ben Stiller. The girl was lacrosse coach at Ole Miss and Danny Mcbride was a high school coach in Oxford

There's Something About Mary. When Ben Stiller is spooning with the inmate after being arrested at the rest stop at the SC state line, you can see "Go Gamecocks" scrawled on the wall behind him.

I see he went to Texas A&M. Is this referenced in the film itself?
