So I was reading up on the history of the State/Ole Miss rivalry earlier, and I think I've pinpointed the time and place where all Ole Miss men decided to become effeminate, scarf-wearing, sissies. Many years ago, the Bacardi Bowl in Havana, Cuba placed a southern university against the local sports club or university.
Not surprisingly, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, and LSU all soundly defeated the commies, shutting them out in all 3 contests. And then of course, there was December 31st, 1921, when Ole Miss brought shame to their state, their university, and their country by getting shut out by the Havana Athletic Club, 14-0. At this point, Ole Miss gave up their enthusiasm for the man's game of football, and took on an unhealthy obsession with colored trousers and silk scarves. Many scholars theorize that the Cuban rum was also too strong for the Confederates' taste, but sadly, it would be many years before they got to enjoy their drink of choice-- Zima.
