Right, because LSU fans are known for their cordial demeanor and have never gotten in a fight with an opposing fan. Anywhere. Ever.

You wouldn't happen to possibly take part in Internet badaassery via make believe story telling and/or take part in the sport of key throwing atop taco bells would you?

Ole Miss is going to beat LSU. Bookmark it.

The Ole Miss fans that tailgate with us in BR every two years are really good people, albeit tragically color-coordinated.
Having lived in that most vanilla of vanilla states (with apologies to The Coast which is cool) for four years of my life (including two at boarding school) I think I understand the Ole Miss mentality more than most.
A certain percentage of their fan base are truly convinced that they represent some Southern ideal and fancy themselves to be southern Gentry. It's a weird lifetime attachment to the Fraternity/Sorority aesthetic, that normal people grow out of while still in college. They tend to be overwhelmingly materialistic and interested in projecting themselves in a certain way that reflects that overwhelming self-importance. They tend to condescend to those who don't "buy-in".
I see these people as a historical remnant of Northern loathing and disrespect and the regional abuse that they suffered for 100 years. They reacted through creating an exaggerated sense of Cultural defiance. Something was being "taken" from them, so they defended it. They didn't adjust well to cultural change, they fought it and adopted an exaggerated cartoon-version of who they were.
The Ole Miss "regular folks" tend to be really solid people. The whole Faulkner/Southern gothic/literate/racially-inclusive/working-man Ole Miss crowd are fine people. They probably see themselves more like most Southerners-as a little bit of the under-dog. I suppose the self-appointed Ole Miss uber-class annoys them much more than it annoys the rest of us.

These people make up 90% of the fan base

Good win. Congratulations. Ole Miss is sneaky-good. They beat LSU regularly, even when LSU is much better. Might beat us again this year, who knows...

My bro and sister went to OM. My senior year in college me and my friends from LSU sat in the student section...there was a guy in front of us who was an LSU fan as well. We all told ourselves to try to contain our cheering. We didn't want to get the crap beat out of us. It was an intense game, that the tigers came from behind and won....2001 I think. The whole game me and my friends were hackled and said things I won't repeat here. Thankfully my bro was in a frat there, so him and his frat brothers set most of them straight. But, not the poor fellow in front of me. He got ambushed at the end of the game for cheering. It was insane, he got the ever living shite beat out of him. We had to flee the scene so we wouldn't get in a brawl ourselves. Felt so damn bad for that guy. Classy student section down there in Oxford.

I figured it was some long arse paragraph saying that Ole Miss is irrelevant and yada yada yada but I read it and edited.

LSU fans just beat the shite out of each other.

NEVER EVER sit in a student section in an SEC venue. Never. Don't do it. Because there is ALWAYS a guy. I learned this at MSU in 2007, and we had to beat the shite out of three students who attacked us in the stands(I've told the story here about how MSU fans took our side and helped us beat their asses before the cops took them off).
Sit with normal people who have jobs and families.
