Doubt there will even be that many people in there.
I expect LSU to be winning by 50+ by the 4th quarter.

Ross Robert Barnett was the governor of Mississippi from 1960 to 1964. He was a prominent member of the Dixiecrats, Southern Democrats who supported segregation
quote:
During his time as governor, Barnett, a staunch segregationist and Democrat, became noted for his tumultuous clashes with the US Civil Rights Movement.
Barnett arranged for the arrest of Freedom Riders in 1961 and then imprisoned them at Parchman Farm.[2] While the offenses were minor, the Freedom Riders were strip-searched, had beds taken away, and were humiliated and brutalized in the prison.
While this approach was popular in the state, it was done in part to blunt the criticism that he was receiving for a variety of reasons: failing to follow through with promises of jobs for office-seekers; filling those jobs with acquaintances, and attempting to wrest control of state agencies from the legislature.[3] Barnett was a member of the white supremacist Citizens' Council movement as well.[4]
In 1962, the state agency in charge of universities and colleges, the Institutions of Higher Learning, appointed Barnett the registrar in order to oppose James Meredith's efforts to desegregate Barnett's alma mater, the University of Mississippi. With the accreditation of the state's medical school and other universities in jeopardy due to the political interventions, the IHL board reversed their action after the riots on the campus.[5] Barnett was fined $10,000 and sentenced to jail for contempt but never paid the fine or served a day in jail
quote:
Until the 1960s, Mississippians had known no alternative to segregation, and many linked the separation to the Bible. Barnett, a Baptist Sunday school teacher, declared "The Good Lord was the original segregationist. He put the black man in Africa.... He made us white because he wanted us white, and He intended that we should stay that way."[7] Barnett said that Mississippi had the largest percent of black Americans because "they love our way of life here, and that way is segregation

There is a big reservoir lake named after him too.
Mississippi idolizes and commemorates their bigots in honored glory.

I hope not. Les said to bring some food and to say a while and enjoy the game. I plan on bringing me a sandwich in and tell the Marshals Les told me to bring my food

this part (being popular in the state) is what really made me sick

We don't put up with losing! Or blowing out opponents apparently... Lol

Ooh, time for a name change there, Ross.
Posted on 10/20/14 at 5:18 pm to GregAl
he has a Ross quote from the same night the James Meredith riots happened
I'd say he's a troll, but this thread doesn't really seem troll-like in terms of making OM look bad. He couldn't have thought someone would google his name.
I only googled because I figured it was his real name

Should I change my username to David Duke so it's not offensive to Louisiana folk?
