Every single thing he listed about Ole Miss is about Oxford. Oxford is Proud Larry's, Thacker Mountain Radio, Fat Possum Records, the Southern Foodways Alliance, Square Books, and James Beard Foundation winners.
Taking credit for that is like claiming Jackson State IS Eudora Welty, Historic Belhaven neigbhorhood, every Fondren restaurant, The Help, Richard Wright, Wyatt Waters, etc.
It's ludicrous to attribute those things as a part of what makes up the University. The article typifies the delusion that simply having attended Ole Miss you have somehow separated yourself from the common man. You may be an out-of-work, illiterate, but by stepping foot on campus and calling yourself a Rebel, you have positioned yourself above all others.
And here's the thing about State, every single thing that happens in Starkville is directly related to the student body working hard to make their university and it's home a better place. Bulldog Bash is a student run event (unlike Double Decker). State students don't arrive on campus ready to receive their medal, they arrive and work to make it a better place than it was when they got there.
