Let's be perfectly honest, it is absolutely nothing like that.

You can't do a damn thing outside of Oxford that you can't do outside Starkville. Not one damn thing. But I guess you can argue that Starkville is pretty close to a couple of casinos.

You can get to the Walmart in Batesville in like 15 minutes.

Not even comparable.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of a large city feel, so Auburn is high on my list. Some can't stand the sleepy small town feel that's AU, so it will be lower. It's all relative to personal preference.

Wrong.
You can't find copious amounts of good looking women in a densely populated area of bars in Starkville, Mississippi. Look as hard as you want, big boy.

So you have a couple of good local restaurants not located on the square, and a big muddy reservoir? Be still my heart. Fayetteville has good local restaurants outiside of downtown in every direction.
We have something like 50 miles of bike trails in Fayetteville (which connect into a region-wide greenway spanning 30 miles to the north), a larger entertainment district, two mountain areas with hiking and biking, three 500 acre+ lake parks in the city limits (Lake Fayetteville, Lake Wilson, Lake Sequoyah), medium sized Lake Wedington about 15 minutes away, and a big -not-muddy limestone ringed reservoir in the mountains called Beaver Lake about 25 minutes away.
I'm just going to assume nobody from Ole Miss has been anywhere with any kind of amenities whatsoever. There is nothing impressive to me about Oxford.

I didn't say there is nothing; I said there are some fast food places off of university and Jackson, and some restaurants on north lamar.
Which is pretty much what you listed.
I'll throw in the Ravine--a good place; though they must be under new management, b/c the last two times I've been, it's been awful :(.
All towns have a historic site like Rowan Oak--Oxford isn't unique like that.
Sardis?
Oxford is a college town.
Nothing more, nothing less.
I will never understand the hype, that's all I'm saying.
And again, hats off to the C of C for selling themselves.
They've done a masterful job.

Oxford may be king when it comes to good looking women, but to say they aren't in Starkville is ridiculous.

Oh, look, numberwang is still Rebsessed.
You make a lot of assumptions without first warning us. Also, we get it. Someone, somewhere, who was somehow affiliated with Ole Miss did something to you that you did not like. Maybe he fricked your girlfriend? Who knows.
Not everyone is an outdoors enthusiast, dipshit.
Like a moth to a flame.

I was in Fayetteville in November. Color me unimpressed. The people suck dick. Weirdest group of people outside of Aggy.
You're well within the fallout radius of a nuclear plant though.

Auburn has some great bike trails as well. Overall it's the most bike friendly town I've lived in. Here's some from Chewacla State Park:

How many other SEC towns have the home of a Nobel laureate turned into a quasi-museum?
Hell, how many other SEC towns have had a fricking Nobel laureate?

Only Arkansas fans can make assumptions, RG. Keep this in mind before you engage numberwang.
They have no in-state competition and it leads directly to their strong sense of delusion, both on tRant and IRL.

That's like me criticizing Oxford for not having a Presidential museum.
Apart from retired folks and grade-schoolers on field trips, most people aren't going to visit said locales more than once in their lives; and they're likely not going to go there on football weekends.
No need to debate it.
We disagree hugely. No big deal.
You love Oxford--as you should.
Your college memories are tied to the place.
The same can be said for Staters and Starkville.

I go to college towns for two reasons: to watch college football and get turnt AF. If I wanted to go to museums I would stay in Houston.
