Did a lot of growing up in the western part of the Ms. coast. We used have a pretty large MSU fanbalum base on the coast. All the way from Pascagoula to Waveland. Yes there were a bunch of LSU fans. There were a bunch of USM fans/alums. But they generally only wore black/gold only when USM was doing good. The rest of the time they were staunch LSU fans. Ole Miss IMO fans were almost non-existent. If they did wear Ole Miss or have Ole Miss on their car they were usually tourists.

As my grandma used to say about tourist that came to the Ms gulf coast. They show up with a $20.00 dollar bill and a pair of dirty shorts and don?t change either one.
