For one, i've always thought that you guys thought that you were better than everyone else - including and especially, Arkansas. Which on every measurable is a better state, school and program that Ole Miss/Mississippi. You all have amnesia for the decades where you were the laughing stock of the SEC and then, in an instant, you find your 15 mins (or 2 seasons) of fame and start referring to yourselves as an elite program and on the level of Bama, etc. When, in actuality, A) you cheated your arses off to get there, and B) you still were never/will never be on that level, and C) will be returning to the bottom tier of the SEC in short order.

Additionally, Oxford is a brutally over-rated college town. That "Oxford is the greatest" narrative is nauseating. I've dated 2 different Ole Miss girls for over a year each and spent a ton of time down there - and that place is below average. Yeah, it's fun on game day, but is it? You need to improve your infrastructure and get WAY more/better bars/hotels/restaurants to handle the crowds if you're going to host that many folks.

Yes, you have hot chicks - what SEC doesn't? Fayetteville, Athens, Tuscaloosa, Columbia... i hear Lexington (havent been)...and Nashville all beat the ever-living shite out of Oxford.

So anyway, that's part of the reason. You're a bunch of smug pricks that thinks your shite smells like a new bag of potpourri and it wears on folks.

Other than that you're pretty ok, kinda.

preach. It's a pretty boring town that is filled to the gills with faux-'southern charm'. It's got a couple of decent bars (that seem to close at about 10p) that are vastly overcrowded on any given weekend. The people are phony and pretentious.

The grove is overrated too. It's a bunch of college kids playing dress up and suburbanite soccer moms coming down sipping white wine.

It's that gross, weird Mississippi Delta culture.

The movie The Help laid this out pretty well. The "just above middle income" wannabe-snobs trying to create "exclusivity" out of thin air. The girl who ate the shite-cake. The ones who desperately want to be "society" but in fact are crude, foul-mouthed redneck trash whose sense of worth comes from lots of lies they tell themselves repeatedly.

That's every white Ole Miss person I've ever met.
