Newsflash: Starkville is a wonderful town

I bartended in Starkville and Oxford.

The only difference between Ole Miss and State nightlife is when you go to an Ole Miss party, everyone is brainwashed to ask you “Doesn’t Ole Miss throw the best parties?” Good God, I feel like I’m stuck in the Truman Show when I go hang out in Oxford. Wes Rucker was right. Ole Miss is unauthentic.

The Cotton District, the Junction, it all has similar if not better offerings than the square or the grove. All college towns have their own special unique flair and Starkville is no different. Main Street/Cotton District has everything you could want within walking distance. The other bars that are spread out provide a more diverse nightlife experience. That’s better than one cognate location. Stories of nightlife are better going to more spread out places in Starkville than going to the centralized square in Oxford.

So State Theatre closed. Zorba’s is better and has replaced it. Zorba’s can hold nearly half of what State Theatre could. Plus StaggerIn can similarly hold a ton of people and is in the heart of the Cotton District.

Personally I like the Cotton District more than the square. Cotton District is more laid back. Plus there are a ton of bars within two blocks. And where else can you get FREE BURRITOS on random nights? Not on the square.

Steakonastick’s mini-Bourbon street idea for Cotton District/Main Street would be a killer idea btw. It would kill the square.

Fact: Ole Miss students come to Starkville more often than you think. Ask any current students.

Food? Restaurant Tyler or The Veranda blows Boure or Ajax out of the water.
Burgers? Mugshots is constantly ranked the number 1 burger in the state.
Pizza? Dave's or Stromboli's. Need I say more?

Ladies? Ole Miss is great if you're into fake blondes and cougars trying to their hardest to be in shape and coming across as teenagers.

Alumni with money? MSU has PLENTY.

Hope this helps!

Starkville food scene has gotten much better, but that John Currence has got some pretty legit eats in Oxford... Would love to see him and Ty duke it out.

Needs more sunshine and false information. Its obvious you have never actually been in Oxford, let alone bartended there.

Ty is like a food chemist. Currence is in over his head nowadays. Ask any rebel fan.

Ask me anything. Trust me, don't let the brainwashed delusionitis fool you. I bartended there. I can even dispell the doorknob to the universe bs. It's a lame water tower. Hope this helps! :)

When you rebels feel the need to defend all things Ole Miss after every single post, it shows just as much insecurity as this board has today. Just thought I'd let you in on that obvious secret.

Look his post is a pitiful attempt at sunshine pumping. He wouldnt do it if he didnt feel threatened by this weekends events in Oxford and that's a fact.

Are you really as naive as you're coming across? What can you derive from where I bartended? Oh and please keep me in your head as I already am. :)

The part about them coming to Starkville a lot more than you would think is a fact.

I like the Cotton District a hell of a lot more than I like the Square, and I've spent plenty of time at both.

The only problem is if nothing is going on in Starkville, nothing is going on. It's hard to make things happen if you're bored. When things are popping off, there aren't many places where you can have more fun.

This. 1000x more. "justme55987" is an expert at MSU being in his head.

I'm far from disagreeing with this, but the district really needs to add another bar/restaurant or two before it can truly become a destination for visitors (and clean up some of those houses along Main Str.). Although, it is true that many UMiss students do visit frequently. The burrito stand was a huge plus this past summer, somebody needs to capitalize on that type stuff. Too bad Halfway House isn't just a little closer, that's my favorite bar in Starkville. Beer!

These debates make me life. Is there really that much difference in the night life in Starkville and Oxford. I have been to bars in both towns and, to me, they are about the same. Ricks and the library or pretty much the same. They all have alcohol and hot women. The girls in Oxford and Starkville are pretty much the same. And I hope these players have enough sence to not make a decision based on "nightlife". I think the coach has a lot more to do with their decision that a bar. If they are going to base their decision on what the women look like then Arizona State would win the recruiting battle every year.

Exactly. Logical reasoning, I'm saying each college town has its own uniqueness.

justme55987 is just an insecure rebel troll in a turmoil meltdown with reality.

Not only that but it's a prime example of the narcissistic behavior they exhibit.

Here's a description of narcissistic traits for those unfamiliar with the term:

An obvious self-focus in interpersonal exchanges
Problems in sustaining satisfying relationships
A lack of psychological awareness
Difficulty with empathy
Problems distinguishing the self from others
Hypersensitivity to any insults or imagined insults
Vulnerability to shame rather than guilt
Haughty body language
Flattery towards people who admire and affirm them
Detesting those who do not admire them
Using other people without considering the cost of doing so

Pretending to be more important than they really are
Bragging (subtly but persistently) and exaggerating their achievements
Claiming to be an "expert" at many things

Inability to view the world from the perspective of other people
Denial of remorse and gratitude

Oxford does have us beat in the music scene. Wish we could get some better bands in Starkville

I know a guy who went to Alabama and he would tell me that he and his friends spent as many weekends at Rick's, State Theater, and Dave's as they did out in Tuscaloosa. He also said that back in the 90's when Rick's would have some big name bands play, the place would have as many Bama folks as MSU people. However, that is assuming those Bama fans weren't from Columbus, but his point was that the Starkville bars were quite well known even as far as Tuscaloosa and that Tuscaloosa didn't offer those kind of places.

Longdog, you are elevating "rationalization" to a whole new level. Unbelievable!

Sure thing, "CooterBrown". I think you're just upset it didn't take State 165 years to make something as nice as the grove.
