Ole Miss: Where they Redshirt Miss America*

Folks at the University of Mississippi love to say stupid stuff that isn’t true like, “we are good at football“, “we don’t cheat in recruiting“, “we are the Harvard of the South“, and “we redshirt Miss America”.

No sense in allowing anyone to believe these myths, so we’ll set the record straight. And the records show that Miss Mississippi (2012) did go to Ole Miss – but she’s the first one since 2000 to do so.

2012 – Marie Wicks, Ole Miss

2011 – Mary Margaret Roark, Mississippi State

2010 – Sarah Beth James, Mississippi State

2009 – Anna Tadlock, Mississippi State

What’s that, the hat trick!

2008 – Christine Kozlowski, Southern Mississippi

2007 – Kimberly Morgan, Alcorn State

2006 – Taryn Foshee, Mississippi State (4th place in Miss America)

2005 – Kristian Dambrino, Delta State

2004 – Jalin Wood, Mississippi College

2003 – Allison Kellogg, Alabama

2002 – Jennifer Adcock, Southern Mississippi

2001 – Becky Pruett, Southern Mississippi

2000 – Christy May, Ole Miss

The rundown for this list

1. MSU – 4

2. USM – 3

3. Ole Miss – 2

4. Alcorn St., MC, Delta St. and Bama – 1

So lowly Southern beats out the school that claims to “redshirt Miss America”. Yet, somehow, they can’t manage to get too many to just win Miss Mississippi.

Myth/rumor/false bragging: busted. Oh, and Hail State.
