The Jackson and Vicksburg contingent here might be interested in Marie Hull’s and Andrew Bucci’s art.

Dickie Scruggs recently purchased Eli's house after gifting his house and surrounding land to the university.

Am I missing something? Is he hard up for cash or something?
His Oxford house has been on sale — off and on— for several years and do you really want to keep your old stuff if you and your family are not interested in keeping it?

@DWarren — Ah. Dickie bought Eli’s house?

No wonder Eli’s Selling.

Wonder if there is any 2003 SEC West championship swag.

I get that almost all of this stuff was probably procured for him and is basically just stuff stashed at his second home for use when he's there, but the used clothes and shoes being sold seems weird as ****. You know there are going to be some creepy Oxford fans buying his used shoes and doing god knows what with them. I think I'd rather just burn that **** or drop it at goodwill to make sure they don't contribute to some guy's fatal attraction to him.

The rest of the stuff is probably expensive enough to be worth selling on their own but the clothes and shoes are just going to attract weirdos.

Apropos of that thought, I know at least one guy who was proud to buy one of Woodie Assaf’s neckties at his estate sale…

Didn’t they just sell “The Graduate” name to Hilton?
I don't believe the Manning's have any ownership in the graduate but I could be mistaken. Graduate is an upscale chain that has hotels in various college towns across the country. They recently opened a new location in Palo Alto, CA. I believe that was their 33rd hotel to add to the collection.

Would the Manning's potentially have ownership in "The Chancellor House"? I believe its locally owned. Plus they charge over $1K per night for a room on football weekends, damn swindlers.

ETA: You were right, Hilton just bought the Graduate Hotels for $210M.

Didn't Cooper have a stake in the original group that owned The Graduate hotels?

WHAT? You mean Eli would sell his home in that beautiful, enchanted, pristine town of Oxford. I mean, c'mon who would want to walk away from all that culture? Looks like even one of their own hates them.

He sold one house in Oxford a couple of years ago. Either he owned more than one there or this is one He bought since then.

I don't know who those other mentioned artists are but all those pictures look like they were done by kids
