Oxford at the bottom with Starkville??? That's funny. Starkville has the perception as being possibly the worst town in not only the sec but all of college football. You know this deep down. I like the Mississippi State people but the town offers nothing.

I'm going to let you in on a secret. Every town in Mississippi sucks. Starkville and Oxford both have the benefits of decent bars, and good food. That just isn't even close to enough to catch us up to Athens, Gainesville, Fayetteville, or College Station. Not even enough to get us in the same category with our runners up, for worst towns in a state, at Auburn or Tuscaloosa.


Starkville has a population of 23,888. Oxford is at 21,757. Just not enough resources. You don't go to work in either when you graduate, that's the issue. Both of these towns need industry.
