Why do so many coaches buy property here? Since it's so bad??
Literally have not met anyone else who didn't like the Starkville experience. Things ain't what make a place fun. It's people. And the people are phenomenal. It's like home walking on campus. The rap we get is super unfair. I brought a coworker to a baseball weekend last year, he's originally from India. On the drive down he point blank asked me "are they going to hate me cause I'm brown." I laughed and said no, that's Oxford. We went out and walked the campus that Saturday morning and on the drill field was a massive cricket tournament - men's, women's and children going. Couldn't have timed it better. Set the tone for the weekend. Then everyone was super welcoming in the lounge. He had to learn that southerners take pride in someone else liking our cooking and will keep handing you food until you say "no mas". Then we went and had a crawfish boil that sunday night with crab legs and all my "country bumpkin" farmer friends were super friendly.

Buddy was shocked how fun a weekend in Starkville could be. I'm just like "it's about a 8/10 - Football is better." All he came with was a positive attitude and a willingness to meet new people and give them a chance. If you do that in Starkville - it's a magical place. If you're just looking for a blowjob, go to Library on the square, buy some random a couple drinks, offer some blow for a blow and there ya go. Someone on this board seems to fit more in with that Oxfart crowd anyways. Maybe that's his real regret.
