That's part of the reason I was kinda leaning toward Alabama. That and there's probably more to do in Tuscaloosa than in Oxford (I may be wrong, but I have a feeling I'm right).

Don't talk shit about Ole Miss til you've been to The Grove on a Saturday of a football game.
Mississippi to outsiders may not seem like anything special...but there's just a certain feeling about it that makes people who spend time there think it's the greatest place on Earth. Alos, some of those gravel roads lead to some of the most interesting places. John Grisham still lives in Oxford
And I've sen Morgan Freeman on the square a few times(he lives nearby)
Also, don't think that there's more to do just because Tuscaloosa is a bigger town. I'm sure Tuscaloosa has more bars and restaurants and all but I PROMISE you'd fine no problem finding something to do in OXford...Oxford is one hell of a music scene (as is Athens) Remember we are only an hour from Beale Street.
UGA people:
I've always thought that I would like Athens...I have a cousin there but I have never been there. I hear Oxford and Athens have some of the best college music scenes around. I'm going to have to visit Athens sometime soon. Do you have any links of pics of the TOWN...I graduated so I just want to see pics of the town.
