In big ten country, Ole Miss may be better known, but it's better known for bad things like the custom of the rebel flag, dixie, and colonel reb. Miss. State may be less known, but Ole Miss is known more for negative things. Most folks up here find bulldogs as not-negative and Miss State does not carry the dead weight of Ole Miss and it's integration history.
If Faulkner lived in Starkville, Ole Miss would be in worse shape.

You might enjoy my post on the Poli Board about Ross Barnett. It's completely his and the Board of Trustees fault as to how integration was handled at Ole Miss. Most of the Ole Miss administration was in favor of integration. Unfortunately, the university was used as a pawn by Ross Barnett and some members of the IHL Board. It's unfortunate Ole Miss paid the price for the awful actions of these people.
