bunch of insurance agents and lumber salesmen who think they're Rhett Butler. And Uptown New Orleanians who wanted to leave the state but weren't smart enough to get in to Suwanee or College of Charleston.

It's Sewanee, not Suwanee.

Its spelled Sewanee, and we are a proud founding member of the SEC (it's our claim to fame).

And, yes, I knew a couple Uptown bluebloods that were rejected from Sewanee, only to attend Ole Miss.

One called Ole Miss the Harvard of the south to my face. Lol

I've heard people say this... But they're from Mississippi, so I know they don't know no better

We had some good years in the SEC before the conference outgrew us...much like Ole Miss.

I was at the Bama Ole Miss game when Bo Wallace and the rebs beat Saban and Buckner Courso tore down the goal posts and paraded it through the square. Ole Miss folks have an inflated opinion of themselves but I wouldn’t say they’re trashy

Sewanee leads the all-time football series against LSU 6-3 across nine total meetings played between 1899 and 1932.

That they do. They also eat store-bought chicken tenders on fancy china.

It's laughable when you think about it, but it's their claim to fame. I remember my first trip to Oxford. I was expecting some huge grove of oak trees or at least something on par with LSU. It was a disappointment to say the least. The Grove itself is not very big and they jam pack it full of tents with bougie tailgating set ups.

I think it’s pretty nice actually. BR is the bigger shitehole if we are being honest.

No, that would be “Harvard on the Bayou”

My problem with the grove is you can’t even move and not welcome as an LSU fan.

We're not comparing The Grove to the city of Baton Rouge.

And just FYI, there are some not so nice parts of Oxford where I wouldn't want to be caught after dark. Stray too far from the square and the city starts to look a little different.

Never heard anyone who has visited The Grove regularly trashy. I don't like Ole Miss fans but it's anything but trashy there. I would argue it's one of the nicer venues in the SEC I've visited.

If they’re plastic LED, are they really chandeliers?

Saw a video of their frat boys doing the Oklahoma drill and throwing beer everywhere.

Looked so fun...??

Oh come on dude, that’s just a lie. You can literally leave your keys in your car anywhere in Oxford.
