I have no idea what this guy was thinking. But then again Ive always said Mississippi has 3 million people and 13 last names, which might have something to do with it.

Mississippi is a different place.

I've met some really bright, entertaining and gracious people there but I'm not going to tell you about them.

One year we played Jackson State in Jackson. Arrive at the stadium and the guy handling parking (white) asks us if we are from Arkansas State, we say yes and he says, "Y'all beat the hell out of them today, OK!". Then at the concession stand there is one older white guy and two African-American girls working. He asks me how many blacks AState has. I say about 9%. He says, "Only 9%? Hope y'all win today". Then at a restaurant after the game waiter notices our shirt and asks how the game turned out, tell him we won and he says "Good, maybe that'll shut the cooks up about good Jackson State is."

Weird trip.

But the oddest thing was at Wendy's in Hattiesburg. Someone hooked up the syrups up wrong in the fountain. Rather than fix it, the people working are instead having to remind each other that Coke is Sprite, Dr. Pepper is Diet Coke and so on. Apparently re-doing the connections was not an option they were considering. Then the pinnacle was they had one of those canisters with tea. One of the workers tries to get tea out of it and proclaims "The tea is broke". The manager says "Broke?". Worker responds, "Yep, it's broke" the manager lifts the lid off, looks inside and says "It's empty"

Now we got a guy from Arkansas running down Mississippi......blinders must be cheap this month!

Didn't run down Mississippi made it reasonably clear that the two stories weren't representative but if you feel run down all I can say is you live a really sad life being hurt all the time.
