re: Dan Mullen would never leave for Florida, Texas A&M, or Tennessee.

Wait, are you trying to argue that people cannot objectively go into two different towns and compare? As long as you can run into people you know the town is great? Look, I'm sure I could have a fun time in Starkville. I could have a fun time pretty much anywhere as long as the people I'm with are fun. But I can also look objectively at two different places and make comparisons. I'm glad you are proud of your school, but Starkville is not an impressive college town. I would not want to live there if I had other options. Dan would probably leave if he wasn't getting paid the way he is or if he didn't have the job security.
