There is a huge difference between the UVA/VT and MSU/OM dynamics. UVA is a premier, public institution that has every right to think itself as "better" than VT in that regard. Ole Miss, on the other hand, is not but likes to think it is. Virginia and Virgina Tech have the same relationship as Michigan and Michigan State. Ole Miss fans simply cannot accept the fact they aren't Michigan, UVA, Cal Berkeley or any of the other public Ivys. The fact of the matter is that Mississippi State's freshman classes constantly have the higher test scores.
That's the rub with me. The Ole Miss fans that look down their noses at us have no basis for doing so. And before you Rebel posters decide to take me task, I understand that not all of you are that extreme...at least I don't think you are.
