OM's University commercial

[Drewbowski]

"As Mississippi's flagship university..." MS doesn't have a 'flagship university'. I guess if you tell yourself something enough times, it becomes true.

It’s really a strange thing that they say.

They have this obsession with making sure everyone knows how "awesome" they are. As has been noted many times, if you MUST tell people that you are the flagship, you are not the flagship

It’s pretty funny how hard they try. They know their douche bag fan base very very well.

Doesn’t MS statute explicitly state no flagship?

thought I read that at some points point

 

[LTblows]

It states that MSU, OM, and USM are equally flagship universities for the State of Mississippi.

 

[Marler]

Could be talking about the confederate ***

 

[ckDOG]

Ah. So they aren’t wrong.

If we were petty - and sometimes I wish we were - I’d advocate including simlar language in our marketing just to piss them off.

Insecurity usually makes people believe they have to repeat things.

I look in the mirror every morning and tell myself how good looking I am. Actually I am.....

US Supreme Court said in 1992 MS has 3 flagship universities

See United States v. Fordice, 505 U.S. 717, 733-34.

Can someone explain the importance of being labeled flagship? Why should anyone care that they are the flagship and why should anyone care that someone else is the flagship and they’re not?

MSU's First Lady refers to us as the state's flagship university all the time.
