We were in Natchez

[Olegreyboy]

This past weekend. I asked the bartender if he could turn on the State game. He said yeah ok but you know Natchez is an Ole Miss/LSU town. I guess it’s that antebellum atmosphere.

Any bartender who refuses to turn on a State game does not understand how much the team makes us drink...

 

[Chesusdog]

Literal plantation owners there.

Not that there's anything wrong with it but Natchez is the gay capital of Mississippi. Could be a connection between the two.

Natchez is more LSU than anything.

Fact:

The proper rebuttal would have been: “That explains a lot. Now get to turning the channel, boy.”

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Would have been a great opportunity to say this

An arrogant drink server being an OM/LSU fan...I can't believe it...

Would've sworn that was Ocean Springs........Lotsa 'artsy' types down that way............

Natchez is a huge LSU town. I grew up about 10 miles south of town. We could be to Tiger Stadium in an hour and 15 minutes. Took 4.5 hours to get to Oxford. Oxford is closer to Cairo, Illinois than it is to Natchez. Natchez is also more culturally like most of Louisiana than it is like most of Mississippi.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Bartender was trying to do you a favor

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

That is my experience.

 

[Dawgbite]

After that smartass answer you’re morally obligated to not tip him.

 

[TheBannerM]

The mayor is State grad.

 

[Maroon13]

I've never been to Natchez or Vicksburg in my life. But I've known one guy from Natchez.

Big LSU fan that failed out of Belhaven and ole Miss.

Sort of related, I learned this weekend trying to find it while driving that MSU doesn't have radio presence on the MS Gulf Coast, and that kind of sucks because Ole Miss was really easy to find. I drive a lot and would love to listen to Neil.

I’d highly recommend the Varsity app. It’s great. Neil is just a click away

Not sure if there were others options - haven’t been to Natchez in 30 years or so but I would have gotten up and walked out!

Been that way for well over a decade.

Numerous ways to listen on phone. Hailstste app, I heart radio etc

I believe the point is, why don’t we get coverage in a prominent area of our own state

It was too early to check into the bnb. Another couple wanted to watch it too.

@Guy From Gulfport

I didn't do all sorts of research on the topic, in order to defend my high school town of residence. One click from the google search results, that's it.

But for the sake of SixPack, I struck share worthy gold (okay... Fool's Gold.) But anyway, I'm just going to leave this here...

 

[Guy From Gulfport]

Natchez is a mostly LSU town, in terms of casual fans. But there is a lot of Mississippi university representation. Even some of the 10 USM fans live there.

[basedawg]

Born and raised in Natchez. No doubt Msu is in third place behind Lsu and Ole Dixie. I have many friends living in or around Natchez. It makes me sick what use to be close to 30K with industry to now maybe 12-14K with only the antebellum homes left. Oldest city/town on the Miss River!
BR is about 88 miles away, first college football game i went to was at Tiger stadium when i was about 9 years old.

I grew up in Natchez as one of the very few State fans. Everyone is an LSU fan, a USM fan or an Ole Miss fan. The overwhelming majority are for LSU though. Hell my first college game was an LSU game because it is so close to Natchez.

 

[Colonel Angus.sixpack]

The mayor is State grad.

And has the most glorious head of hair you’ve ever seen. I’ve been told it’s real.

 

[Colonel Angus.sixpack]

I like Natchez. I think it would be a pretty sweet town to retire in.

IMO better to get a place on Lake Saint John and have access to Natchez without living there.

This is a great take, especially if retiring. The hospital in nearby Ferriday is a decent option. Because if you live in the area, you are already traveling to Baton Rouge or Jackson for specialists/acute care.

I have cousins that grew up in Natchez and all of them were big LSU fans. Definitely something about the proximity to Baton Rouge. Growing up (Meridian), most people I knew from south MS (coast up to H'burg) were LSU with a few USM fans because their parents went there.

 

[maroonmania]

Remind him his tax dollars still support MSU/OM, not LSU.

 

[TheBannerM]

Long Beach being on the list and not Ocean Springs is objectively hilarious.

So I take it you are mad they are LSU fans because all Bama fans hate LSU?**
