I have a pretty good feel for most SEC schools and their fanbases, except for Ole Miss & Mississippi State. I picture Ole Miss fans being formal "old money" types and hot Southern belles. I picture State fans as more salt-of-the-earth blue-collar types. That's literally all I've got and it's probably wrong.
I saw somewhere Ole Miss counts several famous writers as alums. Any interesting history of either school? Who gets more in-state t-shirt fans? Please educate me.

I would say your assessment is pretty correct. Ole Miss has lots of students who come in from the north - degenerates with rich parents. 56% of the student body is from outside Mississippi. Don't know much about moo state but I think that's fairly accurate

Ole miss sent almost their entire male student body to fight at Gettysburg. They were part of pickets charge and made it further than any other unit but every soldier was either killed or wounded for 100% casualty rate.

Ole Miss is the liberal arts school, and MSU is the ag/engineering school.

Yea ole miss tends to have more out of state kids. We heavily lean towards in state and because of that I think we probably have the edge for in state fans. A lot of ole miss grads tend to move back to Texas Atl or Tennessee

Yeah, they get all of the monied party focused, dying to be Greek kids who couldn't get into UGA, Bama, LSU, Texas, UF, and Tennessee.
It's all of the entitlement with none of the accomplishment.

The remaining male students at Ole Miss at the time, the cowards and the cripples, make up the ancestral base for all the Ole Miss fans you see today.

Is St. Louis, Missouri "the north"? Ole Miss pulls from the greater south east region Texas to North Carolina and all states in between. State has more percentage of in-state students.

Other than the casualty rate, that's fricking awesome.

I'm from the north(sorry) and knew about a dozen folk who went to Ole Miss. The rest went to USCjr or Bama.
My point still stands that its out-of-state rich kids looking to party thier faces off.

Ole Miss = OU
State = OSU
One is more pretentious and is a “who do you know here” type. One is more laidback, welcoming and friendly. Pretty easy to put together here. Ole Miss thinks they’re Alabama just like OU but in reality the Rebs are more comparable to Arkansas historically.

But there's not pretention and a false sense of superiority either. It's just a lazy stereotype people like to run out.

The thing about this ridiculous take is that anyone in the nation is free to travel to Oxford and take a stroll through the grove on game day. Those who do this and are unbiased going into it will readily see that it's no lazy stereotype. The pretention hangs in the air like the smell of bourbon and chicken tenders. It's probably the first thing they'll notice....right ahead of the startling lack of diversity.

So, you’re asking folks to walk through the grove, obverse a bunch of people they don’t know, and then make judgments and determinations based on those observations, and, if those judgments and determinations don’t match up with yours, the person is biased?
Isn’t that stereotyping?

Mississippi has more of the T-shirt fanbase in-state due to the average Mississippi peckerwood's affinity for confederate imagery.

There is a notable portion of the Ole Miss student body who meet this description. At least when I was there
