Mississippi has a economical segregation going on in their high school system between public and private schools.

Don't I know it! I grew up in small town Texas with a school teacher mother. Transplanted to Mississippi, there was no way in hell I was sending my kids to 1) a Catholic school or 2) a private school so bad it isn't accredited and graduates still need a GED to get into college or 3) an Episcopalian boarding school that had a reputation for producing juvenile delinquents. But after 3 kids in public schools... I'm starting to rethink my position, just 10 years late. Welcome to the South, and all that.

But if I'm picking on anybody it is Ole Miss, not the state of Mississippi. And I really didn't mean to pick on the Rebs, much. I just thought it was very odd. I'm pretty sure I'd see more black fans at MSU or even A&M (with a much smaller black population).
