Actually, the term you used was "y'all" not "you" so i knew it was plural jackass; secondly, i was merely responding to you associating me with other posters on here that can be terrible...

you see, I am not like a lot (or even most) of state fans in hating Ole Miss above all else...i dont use the term "TSUN", i think it is childish, but i understand why he does it (he = referring to Merlins)....my dad/granddad = ole miss sidewalk alums, so it is not like i grew up disliking ole miss...i might have gone there had there been a decent engineering program

Pharmacology, medicine, international studies, English, and so on.

There are a lot of great academic opportunities at Ole Miss. This isn't to say that there aren't also great opportunities at State (or elsewhere), but rather to highlight your misconception that Ole Miss has nothing to offer outside of its law and accountancy programs.

I didnt include any curriculum that was not based in Oxford...I understand that UMC is part of the university system though

See above....

So you're an a-hole Dad then? I can understand you not wanting your children to pursue a degree that you don't feel would help them professionally, but c'mon.

I guess I am an a-hole...if my children want to pursue careers in the 'arts", you are damn right they are on their own in paying for their education and all related expenses...the "arts" wont put food on the table...however i am not opposed to them pursuing their interest whatever that may be...i just view going to school for something like that as a bad investment

quote:
Look at the Princeton Review. Ole Miss was ranked as one of the top party schools, true, but Ole Miss was also ranked as one of the top sports schools (as in people like sports at Ole Miss), having one of the happiest student bodies, and having one of the prettiest campuses, for starters.

I'm sure your school adminstration would never do anything like what emory just got caught doing to bump their rankings...

That's what y'all don't get. For better or for worse, people know about Ole Miss and people like Ole Miss and Oxford

See what you dont get, is I do not care how many people know about State and like starkville; I dont worry about things i cannot control....although, i believe there are a lot that do know since it does have the largest main campus enrollment in the state...and social media will help going forward...

quote:
When the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times and Daily Telegraph all write featured stories on Starkville or Mississippi State, then you can talk about how awesome y'all are. When the James Beard award is given to a Starkville chef, then you can give us a ring. When you spot Tom Brokaw or Morgan Freeman

I'll make a note of it
