re: Better Program: Mississippi State or Ole Miss

Maybe 50-60 years ago but not now.
State has pulled past Ole Miss in the last 40+ years.
Stadiums are both nice and with the Junction, State has a very nice tailgating center right next to the stadium. State’s campus is much better manicured and landscapes than Ole Miss.
In my earlier post, I stated the difference in the series record was between 1947-1973 when Ole Miss had a 21-2-4 record against State. Otherwise the series is basically even.

State lost 19 wins and had two ties fortified between 1975-77 because of a bogus probation given to us when a football player got a clothing discount at a store that was available to all students.
Otherwise we are over .500 all time on the field.
Granted Ole Miss is ahead of us all time mainly because of the 1950’s-60’s.

On many other levels academically and otherwise, State has passed Ole Miss in the recent decades. Also, in the other Big 2, baseball and basketball, we are far superior to them.
