re: I don't understand how anybody can hate Ole Miss.

Cooper Manning went to Ole Miss, as did Olivia Manning, so I think it's fair to say "The Mannings" are an Ole Miss family with Peyton being an exception.

There is definitely a certain class of people there who are complete snobs yet are oblivious to what it really means to be at the level they consider themselves to be. It is understandable, I guess, that an area where all incomes are lower would result in the higher end of that lower income area thinking they are the Vanderbilts.

Personally, I think a person who defines himself by his tax return is rather sad. But to do that and believe that driving a Lexus and drinking Johnny Walker makes you elite...that's REALLY sad.
