Ole Miss, Miss State, and USM were giving $10k/ year in scholarship money to B average out of state applicants with a 24 ACT score 30 years ago.

For some state schools, it's more important to educate their citizens than to play stupid elitist games with rankings.

It's a better way to foster economic growth in your state.

Thank you. I'm just wondering when we get past this stigma that if we go to University XYZ we're better than you.

I know a lot of people who are trade school educated that are doing a lot better than your average University grad.

Nobody gives a shite where you graduated from you pretentious, dicks. Can you get the job done or not?

I spent a year at Ole Miss. I transferred there my junior year to take several classes in the English and History departments. David Sansing was a well known professor of Southern History, and I wanted to study under him. I was also considering becoming a writer, and the English department was top notch. As good as any in the country. I did graduate work at one of those highly rated schools in creative writing, The English department at Ole Miss was just as good if not better.

It's changed a lot, but I always loved my time in Oxford. I'd sit under a big tree in the Grove and study a lot. It was hard, however, to focus since there was so many beautiful girls walking by. Every day I thought I'd seen the prettiest, until the next day and there was one even prettier.

I tried to meet 'em all at the Gin. Great times.

Speaking of the prettiest, I'd say in my time it was Kathy Manning. Yes, related to Archie. What a beauty she was. Still might be the prettiest girl that ever walked that campus.

Well, it doesn't seem to be working since Ole Miss loses the majority of their graduates to Memphis and other out of state areas.

No, no it’s not. Accepting kids who don’t belong in college is a great way to saddle your state with 100s of millions in student loan debt.

I’ve posted this before but the company I work for hires grads of every SEC school and Ole Miss kids are consistently the most unprepared. I chalk it up to being unable to stop the party.
