Somehow it will be a tradition they have embraced for 30 years.

BTW.....there has been some talk in Knoxville, TN about changing the city's name to KnoxVegas. Any ideas as to where they got this?

Sincerest form of flattery. Both UT's want to be us, impressive.

Yeah this isn't really unique to Starkville at all.

How many college towns have used that in the past 8 years?

I didn't realize it had to be a college town to end in 'ville'.

Who really cares?

Also, that has been used much longer than 8 years in Starkville....and every where else. Not sure what the 8 year time frame has to do with it.

So true. Nothing rolls off the tongue quite like that 'world famous' JacksonVegas!** Been to a few bowls there.

Then everyone knows about the singing place NashVegas!**

There are exceptions to everything, quit being so obtuse.

I've definitely heard people use NashVegas.

And what do you know there is a college there.

No because no one gives a 17 and I definitely don't care enough to try to look any up.

I've lived in east Tennessee since 1996 and I can remember hearing both "KnoxVegas" and "NashVegas" during most of my 22 years here. And it's not just them -- some people in my town thought it was clever to say "ChattaVegas" too. I've heard less of it in the past decade than I did before, but that could have as much to do with my age as with the prevalence of the terms.

Nice to know there are some fellow dogs here in ChattVegas™. Only been here a year and never heard it used. Probably won't be trying to bring it back either ha.

I always liked the term "Chattaboogie" for Chattanooga. My sister went to MTSU in the late 80s and early 90s and they all called Nashville "Nashvegas".

And Starkvegas has been around since then too along with Starkpatch. Another good one was "Fayetteville--Nam" for Fayetteville Ark.

There are a few floating around for Chattanooga. I guess four syllables lends itself to that kind of thing? I usually go with the less-is-more approach, though -- "the Noog."

Which reminds me of a local creek called "Suck Creek" that's known to hikers and kayakers as "the Suck."

What was this thread about again? Oh, Texas and Journey. Yeah, I got nothing on that.

Man, I'm struggling at the office today, guys.

Welcome aboard, dude. I'm guessing that our town's rise to its current hipster glory has taken us beyond such base tropes. We're too busy talking over $15 artisan cocktails about how many new collaborative web-based-content idea factories started up in the past two weeks to notice a nickname that's so dated. It's the Gig City, bro -- plug in to our municipal fiber optics and feel the synergy!

I kid because I love . . . .

That originated out of Fayetteville, NC, and for reasons that probably shouldn't be discussed here.

Fayettnam was actully Fayettville North Carolina home of FT Bragg. Cause it was as wild as hell. Anything wen in that town esp on Hay Street up until the late 80's.
