This is in the OP, but I'll post it again.
quote:

The film must include verbal references to the school or portray it. (A poster or article of clothing without verbal reference is not sufficient).


If a reference is made and it is obscure, please explain.

Thanks everyone.

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?


Yes. The cover has the celebration from the Big XII Championship when he scored.

'Heart of Dixie' was filmed on at Ole Miss, and Burt Reynolds says "Meet me at Ole Miss." in 'Smokey and the Bandit'.
