Ole Miss vs Arkansas

The year is 1820, and you are traveling west to make a living for you and your family. It's early September, there is a slight northerly wind, but it's quite pleasant outside. You notice hardwoods abound, as does the wildlife, which is varied and easy to hunt with your gun. Alas, trouble presents itself. A large, imposing, and raging river looms, flowing as a wraith amidst a smoke plume. You realize this is no aquatic foe with which you should entreat your livestock, so you decide you will stay where you are at and become a Mississippian, a family of rich soil and flowing, cool waters. But some people thought it wise to stick a toe, then a foot, then their valuables, into that badass river. They lost both mules, their gun, and narrowly escaped with family intact. Then, they ran into a spine of mountains, with rocky soil, fanged winters, and impassible veins of roads. These same people, fate, health, common sense be damned, became Arkansans(?), and today proudly don a plastic version of a razorback (which is a nuisance species,) quite proudly on their heads. The pragmatic Mississippian ancestors regale one another of varying tales while enjoying the finest of Scotland and Kentucky's whiskey. We laugh, not because we are necessarily smarter, or even a more pleasant breed with which one could share company...but our fore fathers probably were.
enjoy the game this weekend. Its for next to last place. ~sigh~

it was eloquent though, wasn't it...I always dreamed of being a writer as a youngster, until I fully understood the definition of the word "poverty".

how noble of you to embrace who you are...a low IQ state college/starksville graduate in overalls. knowing your role in the scheme of things allows you to reach your full potential.

It's a good thing you didn't follow your dream.

Especially the ending.

The fact that someone made it shows someone cares a little too much

I enjoyed reading it. Sounds like Arkansas' forefathers were adventurous, Ole Miss forefathers were a bunch of little dandies who used handkerchiefs and loved slavery.

Ole Miss/Arkansas is low key high entertainment every year.

You hear that, everyone? Stephen King here says we proudly wear something on our heads, quite proudly. He sure did miss his calling.
I love how the moral of the story is the people from Mississippi said "this looks too hard, let's give up", and somehow the Arkansans are the ones who look bad.

TLDR
William Faulkner is overrated and nothing is special about your grove of trees.

Memphis claimed that badass river last weekend. Sorry, fair is fair.
