I had a great discussion with States BBall problems with some of my State buddies that I'm in school with last night. They have thrown in the towel too
I will enjoy the upcoming season more than any season in the last ten years or so. I can finally have hope for the future and I hopefully will actually be able to enjoy watching us when we win.

Bundy's got a buddy in Tupelo that calls them that and he says it's legit.

Baylor's school of medicine is very well known and makes many advances in medicine.
Here's a reason why they might be so well regarded and were able to advance to the reputation they have today(from Wiki):
quote:
In 1969, the College separated from Baylor University and became an independent institution, which allowed it access to federal research funding. The institution's name changed to Baylor College of Medicine.
quote:
In 2009,... Baylor University entered into talks with BCM with a goal of strengthening ties to the medical school, however, the BCM board decided that it would remain an independent institution.

We're "State" because it's a pain to talk through all 5 syllables of "Mississippi State" all the time. - That, and nobody else in the conference has "State" in the name except for LSU, who goes only by LSU.
Lots of teams go by "State," "Tech," or "A&M." It's all about regional and situational context.
Stupid thread, and you should feel bad for starting it.
