Nice try with the photoshop
That picture was proven to be a fake years ago. An Ole Miss fan photoshopped it to mess with one of his MSU friends. There was even a blog entry with a confession of the fake and everything. Why does this keep cropping up every 4 or 5 years?

That's just a complete and utter lie
that picture was taken directly from the 30 for 30 documentary, which got the pictures directly from the university archives. You are either lying through your teeth or are mistaken about the picture in question. Prove it, show me the unphotoshopped picture and the "confession."

So why does this matter so much to you? Did some MSU guys go over for the riots
I'm sure they did but it will not change the fact that you guys were and to some degree still are the poster child
for racism whether you deserve it or not and we will never be. Its just the way it went down and all the symbols you guys had and to some degree still have. Don't drag us into this **** and try to make yourself feel better with that picture.

Yeah, they must have had photoshop in 1962. They evidently fooled the 1962 New York Times.

"Some members of the mob wore jackets from Mississippi State University, at Starkville, and Memphis State College, in Memphis."
Then they tricked UPI with their fancy 1962 photoshop.

"Many of the rioters apparently were students from Mississippi State College at Starkville. A massive demonstration was conducted there yesterday afternoon including marches through the Negro section of Starkville and the burning of an effigy of President Kennedy".
Seems odd to me
Mississippi
University
Don't think I've ever seen Ms. shorter than Univ.
looks more like Memphis to me.
Not that it really matters.

Good eye, man.
If you zoom in on it, it looks like the first word ends in an "S".
Eat **** Bear.
Would someone ban this troll?

Because there is a popular
and common delusion, especially among the people on this board, that because these events happened at OM, State would have welcomed Mr. Meredith with open arms and cookies, defying any rational, logical thought. In the 60's, in Mississippi, most people's feelings were the same. You were no better than us, we were no better than you. You like to pretend that simply because you are MSU fans, that absolves you of all the sins of this state's past. It attaches to ALL Mississippians whether you like it or not. If it had happened at MSU, truckloads of OM students probably would have gone to Starkville in the same way MSU students came to Oxford. Also, Kyle Veazey is a hack and everyone knows it. YOUR OWN BOARDMEMBER, RocketCityDawg, a man who personally witnessed these events, has already stated that many, many, many more than "20" made their way to Oxford that night. He is the ONLY one of you that I have any respect for, simply because he doesn't propagate an insane delusion and answers honestly.

The rally at State was mentioned earlier by an alum who witnessed it, putting attendance in the hundreds, perhaps a thousand. Obviously not all in attendance traveled to Oxford.
BTW, the mob that charged the Lyceum was estimated at 2,500, and there was other activity across your campus at the time.
I'll let you take those two facts and do the rough math about what percentage of State's student body was even willing to rally on their own campus over the matter, let alone help create a war zone in Oxford.
Since, in the same school year, our student body wholeheartedly supported our basketball team violating the "unwritten law", we get to hold our head up high. We're not blameless, but our hands are a heck of lot cleaner than yours.

"You were no better than us, we were no better than you." And yet you still post over here trying to prove you are? Really?
