Arkansas – You’re more likely to listen to folk music, smoke weed, and not shave. You’ve been hiking, camping, or on a float trip within the past month. You own a bike. You wear North Face to the game because its good camping gear and it keeps you warm. You have a 4x4 not to impress, but because you need it to go rock climbing. You speak with a Midwestern generic accent most of the time. If you’re from west of Little Rock, you speak it with more of a Texas twang. If you’re from east of Little Rock you speak more like someone from Dixie. There’s a 1 in 4 chance you are from out of state. If so, you are from Dallas. And by Dallas, you mean Plano. You’ve seen pictures of people wearing blazers and ties to football games in the 80s, but can’t imagine doing it yourself. Its what the nouveau riche wear to Broadway shows at the Walton Arts Center, or Wal-Mart corporate employees wear sowing their wild oats on Dickson, and they’re all lame. For fun, you sometimes show up wearing comically stereotypical hillbilly clothing because you appreciate irony, and you don’t take yourself, or life too seriously. You do take football games seriously, but afterwards you’re getting high or going camping, so whatever, man.

Ole Miss – You listen to Widespread Panic because all of your fraternity brothers do and fitting in is very important. You drive to Jackson or Memphis for better selections of Bill’s Khakis because they’re a must have item. You live in the poorest state in the union, yet pretend that everybody at Ole Miss is rich, without a hint of irony. If you’re a female, you spend a great deal of time worrying about the latest fashion trends. If you’re a male, you insist on wearing your hair like you’re a member of a 60s British rock band. So did your deddy. You show up for games to go to the Grove and drink with other flop-headed preppies. What would be considered douchebagging at other universities is your local obsession. And since there’s not much to do in Oxford, being greek is your only defense against being bored off your arse for four years. At least you didn’t wind up at State. You may or may not actually attend the games. If you do make it in to the stadium, you will likely wind up back in The Grove at halftime. Your women work hard at being attractive, so it makes sense to pay them attention. You or somebody you know will puke today, but will look like a million bucks doing it.

LSU -- You listen to hip hop. But you manage to mix in some 80s rock and Zydeco. Like Louisiana culture in general, LSU students are a bold mix of various influences. One thing you all have in common is that you are all uninhibited and loud. You are uninhibited because you are drunk. Everybody wears purple and gold. Everybody you know or went to high school with either went to LSU for one semester. or drives down for football games. On game day, you wake up and start drinking. Literally. You are drunk by the time you get dressed for the game, so putting on a feather boa, pimp hat and sunglasses sounds like a great idea. You and your friends dig through Halloween costumes when getting dressed on Saturdays. Your grandmother and your neice are equally likely to call an opposing fan “Tiger Bait!” loudly to their face. A big part of why you chose attend LSU was to go to football games. Win or lose, you booze. So it doesn’t really matter who wins. It does, but if the other team wins, the can go F#ck themselves and you can go party til you pass out.


Somebody fill in the rest.

You have obvious biases and forget the fact that there is more than likely a typical SEC student than a typical "X University" student.

According to this, I should have gone to Arkansas. I'd much rather get high and go rock climbing than get drunk and listen to hip hop.

I hate to lump a an entire student body into a category like that but i think your Ole Miss one is pretty accurate

I think Ole Miss and Alabama are kind of similar student body-wise, but Alabama is a lot bigger.

BAMA is a lot cooler IMHO. More variety than greek fanboy.

I agree, we have a diverse student section. half are the greeks which are similar to ole miss, but not nearly as big of tools and the other half are just a melting pot of people.everyone knows how to drink and get loud though.

Excepting the fact that I don't listen to hip hop and my grandma actually yells "Go to Hell, LSU" at LSU games ('cause she went to Ole Miss), this is pretty good.

One of my best friends went to Arkansas. He has shaggy hair, a beard and we go hiking, camping and snowboarding together. I'm actually meeting him in Vail this week.

And the Ole Miss thing is spot on.

Well those three are the ones I have the most experience with.

I could give you the stereotypical Texass, Texas A&M, OU and Texas Tech depictions, but they wouldn't mean anything to most SEC fans.

Somebody who doesn't live in the Big 12 do the rest. And feel free to submit your revisions to mine.

That was actually pretty good.

TX, aTm, TT and the others would be too easy. OU too.
