There is no ghetto in Starkville
That would imply that there are enough people in Starkvegas to have a ghetto
I don't know if it would be classified as a ghetto, but there is definitely a less-than-desirable area over HWY. 182.
I'm done with this thread. Ole Miss posters can continue to Jill-Off to a mad, well-written article. And I'm sure some of the more sensitive MSU posters will chime in and try to defend the town they happened to go to college in.

It wasn't hard, just following along in the thread.

1. Grisham lives in Oxford.
-He went to state and State fans claim him. shite, Bundy's done it on this board a few times.
2. Faulkner lived in Oxford, and served as town drunk until literature figs decided he was great and Oxford embraced him.
-And? Your point? That's how celebrities become famous. I'm sure somebody in Brad Pitt's home town hates his fricking guts too.
3. Starkville threw Johnny Cash in jail, and Oxford tried to kill James Meridith. Any Ole Miss alum will tell you it was the townies not the students who rioted.
-Fair enough point.
4. Both places have chains and red neck douche bags with lift kits and frayed hats.
Well sure, but stereotypes are fun, right?
5. I doubt this guy has been to the Balkans, it looks nothing like Starkville. If Balkan-esque is meant as an insult, it is a terrible one because there are parts of the Balkans that are beautiful.
By saying "Balkan-esque" he's making a reference to the infrastructure-crippling, soul-crushing civil war that took place there in the 1990's. Surely you're aware of that. He means "Balkan-esque" as in the Balkan states, not the Balkan Mountains themselves.
The Barcelona reference is just stupid.
I disagree.

And to which other SEC southern state is the beacon of light for the rest of the world to look towards?

No. Gator tried to pin me a while back. I know Juco though.

I actually thought he lived in Virginia but I'm really not a huge fan of his.

He does. He also gave UVA a ton of cash. I'm not sure if he even still owns the place in Oxford.
