Lane Kiffin blames Colonel Rebel, Conf Flag and name Ole Miss as reasons he left

Sounds like you’re a lot more mad he’s at LSU than anything political he just said

Vanity Fair and Lane Kiffin go hand in hand.

Hey, coach, we really like you. But my grandparents aren’t letting me move to Oxford,

So black people in their 40s that never grew up during segregation are calling Oxford segregated? Hmm its so retarded it kinda think its true...

Not at all. I always thought of him as goofy.

All coaches should always steer clear of anything that can paint another team as racist. I have no idea why he would even go down this path. There is no winner when you do so, and it just opens up old wounds for both sides. This was a bad decision to disparage the school he just left. Horrible.

So glad I wasn't one of the UF fans pining for this pandering twat. No offense but I hope this queer loses every game

Just used ChatGPT to test the stats being pushed here...

There’s actually a pretty interesting story when you compare University of Mississippi (“Ole Miss”) and Louisiana State University (“LSU”) today — especially around size, growth, demographics, culture, and recruiting trends.

Enrollment Size
Ole Miss

Ole Miss has exploded in growth over the last several years.

Roughly 27,000–28,000 students system-wide now
Set enrollment records multiple years in a row
2024 enrollment jumped about 11% in one year
Freshman classes have become dramatically larger, with strong out-of-state recruitment
LSU

LSU is still the larger flagship overall.

Around 41,000+ students across LSU Baton Rouge totals
Bigger research footprint and graduate/professional school presence
Larger engineering, agriculture, and research infrastructure

So the short version:

School Approx Size
Ole Miss ~27k–28k
LSU ~41k+

But Ole Miss is growing faster right now.

Diversity / Demographic Differences

This is where the schools begin telling very different stories.

Ole Miss Demographics

Ole Miss remains substantially whiter demographically.

Recent data sources show roughly:

~75% White students
~11% Black students
~5% Hispanic
~2–3% Asian

Some outside rankings classify Ole Miss as having “low racial diversity.”

But the important nuance:
Ole Miss has become far more geographically diverse.

~57% of students now come from out of state
Massive growth from Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and suburban markets nationwide
Big “SEC lifestyle school” appeal

That’s the modern Ole Miss story:
less local Mississippi commuter identity, more affluent Southern/out-of-state SEC destination school.

LSU Demographics

LSU is notably more racially diverse.

Recent estimates:

~58–60% White
~18–19% Black
~9–10% Hispanic
~4% Asian

Compared to Ole Miss:

LSU has a much larger Black student population
More urban/statewide diversity influence
Reflects Louisiana demographics more closely than Ole Miss reflects Mississippi demographics

Historically, LSU has been criticized for still underrepresenting Black Louisiana students relative to state demographics, but it remains considerably more diverse than Ole Miss.

In fairness, there are a lot of dumb fricking Ryan Clark disciples out there.

---

campus’s diversity feels so great: ‘It feels like there’s no segregation’”

This has been objectively true for a long time in south louisiana.

Whether people like it or not, this area of the country figured out how to live with each other better than any location in the US.

So whenever someone from out of state talks about how racist we are, I always chuckle. Many neighborhoods in New Orleans have been integrated for a long time... completely unlike L.A. or New York... Especially the creole population, which are distinct from the Haitian descendants
