Harvard Guy 1: I wish I went to the Harvard of the South.

The Harvard of the South is the University of Georgia(UGA).

Some may be able to argue that it's Vanderbilt, but I wouldn't consider that a true southern school, with SEC power football.

I know one thing for sure though, Ole Miss is not the Harvard of the South, anyway with a beating heart can get in their, that post should be deleted.
