I agree that Missouri is Midwest but Oklahoma is Southern, or Southwestern. Nobody from Oklahoma says they're in "the Midwest", in fact Kentucky is more "Midwest" than Oklahoma.
There plenty of people in Oklahoma who claim that Oklahoma is "midwest"...
Just not a majority. Especially the Tulsa and northern Oklahoma people.
I'd say northwest Oklahoma IS midwest if you consider Kansas midwestern.
To me there is a big chunk of Missouri that is Ozark style southern... it is just that not very many people live there.

Oklahoma thinks they're "midwestern"?!
If you look at the link... they claim Wyoming thinks they're midwestern too.
They have Oklahoma identifying 66% midwestern. I'd say Oklahoma is more like 66% southern.... and the rest of the people identify as midwestern/southwestern (texas style)/ great plains.

Rupp was from Kansas.
Had a friend in grad school who was from Kansas and he told me his granddad played basketball with Adolph Rupp at Halstead High School around the time of WWI. Halstead is not too far from Wichita.

Tennessee and Kentucky surprised me on this list. Everybody else seemed about right except for maybe A&M being as low as it was.

He looks kind of like one of those inflatable bopper things with the weighted base...
So it makes sense that he has a punchable face.

Agreed...
And my post was not to actually be negative regarding Ole Miss...
But a couple of Ole Miss people were saying that they just flunked and weeded people out. That really doesn't seem to be the case.
Looks like they are working pretty hard to retain students. Which is both good and bad simultaneously considering their situation.
For instance... JSU and USM retention rates are in the 70% range.
quote:
Well, you get in. Plenty of people fail out.
That is a horribly inefficient way to do things.
You spend all kinds of resources for failure.
Although in the case of the Mississippi schools... I guess they have no choice.
I did look at USNWR Ole Miss and MSU's retention rates (88%) and (82%)_respectively. That is somewhat low compared to most other good schools.... (and top schools have high retention rates).
In the SEC Ole Miss is 13th and MSU is last...with UK and LSU sandwiched between. The SEC highest was like UF (97%) and Texas (96%).
Regardless, at 88%... Ole Miss is retaining most of their students through freshman year. Don't know if that is a good or a bad thing considering their admissions situation.

I mean when the Tornado hit tuscaloosa in 2011, I think I made a joke about it. Something like the $$$$ of improvements it made to the city and then Saban signing the twister to play defensive end for the tide.
Nobody got the knickers in a twist (no pun intended) over that one..
In Oklahoma... we are so used to tornado jokes nobody bats an eye...
Much less ice storm jokes..
We get places that get slammd with this type of ice storm two or three times a decade. .
I imagine Mississippi folks aren't used to anything like this...
But Mississippians be prepared for the whirring of chain saws and a whole bunch of limbs and parts of trees to be piled up on the side of the road soon. That is what happens next.
Fortunately, trees do a pretty good job of rebounding. So hopefully the Grove will be okay.

One of the most amazing things about this regarding OU....
Lincoln Riley had a better winning percentage at OU than any of the four Hall of Fame coaches... and he will always be that.
And Lincoln Riley easily has the best record against Texas as compared to the others. And he will always have that.
This will be the last time you ever hear anything about OU's winningest coach percentage wise or OU's coach with the best record against Texas. :lol:

A college athlete wasn’t saying that then either.
And just think... it was like the year after he finished at Texas that the NCAA took away the $15 dollar a month "laundry" stipend.
So in a way Earl was lucky.... How would he have ever survived at Texas without that 15 dollars? (wink)...
