Hmmm, pretty typical review of both.
House divided here and spent to much time in both places in the past few years....I will say:
There is definitely different social classes of people at the games and towns of the two schools. There is a cross section of social classes. However they definitely have more money, preppy types. I can tell you they have many many parents of OOS students that have lots of money, that hang out ant the restaurant and bars and embrace the whole snobby uppity vibes. State is much more Mississippi and are more middle class down to earth people. Some of us embrace being rednecks. Which is why Hardy's rednecker needs to be played over and over pregame next Egg bowl.
Bars and restaurants and all that.... Oxford is just better marketed and centrally located in town but Starkville has just as much to offer in that department. Last game: I overheard a middle aged lady, Mo fan, ask the dude in the seat below for restaurant:bar recommendations. The dude told her Lil Doeys and Dave's. Come on man.... no. I later gave her Luva, Taste, Tyler, Harvey's, Guest Room and Rosie Baby's upper bar or Stagger or Hobies to watch a game.
Oxford the town definitely has more money. When you look at the new growth. Starkville just needs a plan to get more people in the area to stay and raise families there. All the growth at GTR is a step in that direction.
just my .02.
