Is this really true about SMU's reputation in Texas? We had a fair amount of kids from my high school (elitist private school in Memphis) go there and all did very well for themselves. They're largely arrogant pricks but very sucessful nonetheless. Some stayed in Texas, others in New York/LA, and I believe one in London. I always figured going to a school like that, doing well, and making the right connections set you up pretty damn well for life after college. I never wanted to go to a snobby private school for college as I had been through 12+ years of that in my formative years and wanted to get outside that bubble.


SMU is a country club, not an "elite university."

9/10 of those students aren't even getting into Texas much less Ivy Leagues, University of Chicago, Virginia, Michigan, Cal, Duke, Vanderbilt, MIT, Rice, USC, UCLA, and so forth.

Rice is the clear #1.

But SMU is the clear #2.

The rest don't matter.

Based on how many people are crammed in that tiny area, I think that is the right call for safety.

If you've never been to the grove and want a similar yet more tame version, go to SMU & Boulevard (not tailgate).

The girls are all swamp donkeys and I have no desire to be eating the wrong kind of BBQ while crammed into a sea of retarded humanity.

Ole Miss needs to make a lot of improvements before I will decide to tailgate in the Grove.

The Grove was better before it became “The Grove”

The band doesn’t even Play Dixie with Love anymore.

It’s like a shitty county fair with a football game after.

I think it deserves a lot better than what is has been getting from its football team. A true fan would agree.

You've obviously never been to Oxford.

Yep. I couldn't agree more. We really shite on every tradition that we had and didn't even bother coming up with any replacements.

What's so funny? We claim 3, deserve 2 and have 1 officially recognized by the NCAA.

Grove as #1, but i will believe what my SEC brothers who have a reputation as haters say over the folks in Bristol


Wait, we've got a guy who actually believes that tailgating in the Grove is somehow special? As we say in the south, aw, bless his heart. I just assumed this thread was started as another Rant troll thread. I never imagined it was supposed to be taken seriously.

Trust me dude, I've been to 11 SEC schools for tailgating. The Grove is definitely near the bottom. LSU is always #1.

I guess you could say they are all "recognized", but not one was a major poll

All of those women are attractive and all of them are the type destined to be neighborhood Karens sitting around the house watching Sex and the City/Kardashians/Bachelorette types. Great to look at but the moment they start talking nothing but insipid, vacuous idiocy ensues. Younger me didn't give a frick and plowed away. Mid 30s me is fine window shopping.

Props to OM for being unique. The Grove evolved authentically. It’s one of the charms of the South.

I live in Oxford and will go to the grove once maybe twice a year. I love Ole Miss and It’s unique and very fun time. I’m just going to be honest, LSU knows how to tailgate!
