I talked with probably 3 times that many people from the area when I lived up there about this. Do I sound like a particularly shy person to you? Let me explain something to you. Hattiesburg & surrounding area are much like Lafayette /Acadiana. It suffers from split allegiances everywhere. You either pull for USM, Miss. St. or Ole Miss. If you pull for state, or ole Miss, it stops right there. But if you pull for USM it is perfectly acceptable to pull for UBR. Some people even pull for USM & Alabama because USM has bragging rights with Alabama. The way they see it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
When I worked at Mr. Gatti's in Hattiesburg, that was the place to meet people. I knew everybody. I knew just about every player on the team. I knew the coaches, the assistants, the frat people, the sorority girls. I met thousands of people there. This was before the internet when people did something besides walk into a restaurant & immediately start starring at their phones. What a pathetic small mind you have.
