Starkville has put a lot of money and infrastructure into making it more of a college town. I enjoy when I visit there.

Didn't Skip coin that term?

I don’t know ? I know Skip made jokes about Starkville but I never heard him say StarkVegas. Vegas is a busy exciting glamorous city.

Sucks that we are stuck with the shithole that is Tigerland and don’t have a true college town atmosphere.

Our kids get to dodge the scourge of earth that is the natives of Baton Rouge.

Starkville is a very nice small town. Would gladly send my boy there instead of BR.

I’d say Knoxville and Athens are the two best eastern division road trips and Fayetteville and Oxford are the two best western division road trips.

Southern college babes and beer. And football. Can’t beat it anywhere.

Auburn
Athens
Starkville
Gainesville
Oxford

These are the best college towns. The colleges like LSU who are just part of a larger shitty city really miss out on the vibe

Do they still do late night at the Bin? They used to have great drunk food when the bars closed.

Starkville is a GREAT college town and they’ve been investing in it for the past 25 years. It’s time it got its due. Lots of loyalty to the school and an overall great atmosphere. Very different from the old reputation.

I think Starkvegas was both tongue in cheek and also for all the neon signs on Hwy 12. But, mostly as a joke.

I wish Baton Rouge would do the same. Broome's MoveBR plan hasn't done anything except add caution left turn signals at some intersections and completely frick up the timing of the traffic signals on Bluebonnet and Essen. I swear that every time I go back to visit it gets worse, not better.

Athens is the best southern college town, hands down. Auburn has gotten a lot better. I haven't been to Starkvegas in ages. Oxford has the square and not much else. Gainesville is a shite hole.

We went years ago when miles and co got boat raced. I could hear cowbells for a week. But it was one of the best tailgating experiences I’ve ever had. Before and after the game. I come from backwoods blue collar roots and can say I felt more at home there than any other sec opponent. Those people are proud of their college a way of life.
