    How difficult would it be for Starkville to change it's name to StarkVegas?

    I mean, we have The Silver Star right down the road in Philly, right?

    Every time we have a game, "StarkVegas" is mentioned, (even in jest)

    I LOVE the interlocking MSU but I think we need to focus on "STATE"

    If Leach does what I'm expecting / hoping he will do, our brand may become National and I think we need to be thinking about what we are gonna do about it.

    HOWEVER, once we have established different things, it needs to be PERMANENT......

    I want StarkVegas and STATE. Make it happen

    I don't and never have really cared for the StarkVegas moniker.

    MSU, or State, isn't in Starkville anyway.

    Um. No

    Starkvegas works because it's a freaking nickname. People don't go changing their real names to their nicknames.

    Ed Orgeron doesn't need to legally change his name to Coach O because he's successful and become a household name

    Actually, Rocket a portion of the campus is within the city limits.

    Must be where the new school is? None of it was in the city limits when I was in school, but that was pretty much in the Dark Ages.

    I'm pretty sure that Joe Moorhead changed his name to JoeVester. **

    Starkvegas as a nickname is cool; leave Starkville as is. Starkvegas is on the Hump floor. MSU is Starkvegas.

    I am tired of the SECN though throwing vegas in front of every SEC town. I think MSU should say something to SEC media about using it when it is an MSU brand. Nashvegas, Knoxvegas etc.. Laura Rutlege loves using it on everyone. Maybe we'll start the 12th man or whatever.

    I started in '73 so pretty much dark ages. Most of fraternity row and some other areas are in the city limits. I know this because I was director of a voter registration drive for the beer referendum effort, when I was involved with the student association.

    LOL, I admit, I had a few too many yesterday. But I didn't realize SECN was using what is rightfully ours for other cities!! that DOES suck. Can we file a lawsuit or something?
