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

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.

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.

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.

Baw, I’ve had some nights in Starkville I don’t remember. I just know it was fun and there were college girl titties involved. Enjoy!

They’ve come a long way since me and my baws rolled into the Starkville Hilton on Friday before game in 1984 at about 11:45 pm, went straight to hotel bar and bartender said last call. Somebody asked her for reference on a good bar and she said we awll close at midnight. To make things worse the stores stopped selling at midnight too. It was quite an education for some young S La baws.

Good college town and miss state fans are the least obnoxious of all sec fans.



Edit: I reserve the right to change my mind if we lose.

That place was about as exciting as Cleveland, MS and Delta St when I was at LSU in the 90s. It was terrible. Today is a different story. Starkville has come a LONG way, especially in the last 10 years or so.

Starkville is one of my favorite away games every couple of years. I regret that we will not be playing there regularly in the future. Their fan base is one of the nicest and unpretentious in the SEC. If you don’t act like an arse, they will treat you like family.

Having graduated from state in 2009, I can tell you that I’ve had my fill at The Bin and the other two you referenced. They were called Rock Bottom and Up Your Alley when I was there. The apartment above the one on the left (I can’t remember which one it was) was owned by the Allmans. They own the outfitter, SF Almans in Gulfport. Being from the coast, and knowing them and having fraternity connections with the son, I can tell you there were plenty of shenanigans that took place on that block from 2007 to 2009

There is another house down the road that goes right in front of The Bin about a block down on the left that I’m pretty sure the entire spring of 2009 had a monster keg party literally every night. Only made it a couple times but that’s probably for the best. It was ridiculous.

Good times…. I think

Starkville is a nice, clean college town. Polite, clean-cut kids for the most part. I couldn't get over all the co-eds jogging alone at night. That shite could never happen in BR.

My wife works with a bunch of doctors. She said after their kids flunk out of LSU, they enroll them in MSU so they can get cleaned up.
