Why the hell do people call Ole Miss the Harvard of the South?

I know I posted earlier and I'm sorry for posting twice in a day on this board but here is my statement.

This post ties in with an earlier post (What is the University of Mississippi?), which called out Ole Miss on many of its faults, and I am here for one of those faults

they claim to be the Harvard of the South

First off, the people who designed the color scheme of Ole Miss might be colorblind. They got Harvard red, which they fricked up because if anything, MSU's maroon is closer to Harvard's crimson. Then they tried for Yale blue which they also failed at, and honestly, LSU's purple is closer to Yale blue.


If anyone were to claim the title of Harvard of the South in the SEC, it would be Vandy, but in all honesty, they don't come very close to Harvard either.

There are only two other schools outside of the Ivy League in America that can be compared to Harvard, and those two schools are Duke and Stanford.

Ole Miss is a place where rich dumb white kids who suck at school go, poor in state people who are probably really talented at what they like, but are too poor to afford anything else and they want a decent education for a cheaper price, or for scholarship athletes who are mostly retarded and no matter what school you look at, take bogus classes.

And that is my statement.
