‘It’s Got to Go’: Shepard Smith Calls for Mississippi to Remove Confederate Emblem From State Flag
Mediaite ^ | 7:58 pm, May 5th, 2017 | Joe DePaolo

Earlier, we posted about a speech delivered by Shepard Smith at his alma mater, the University of Mississippi, in which he discussed his experience coming out.

During that same address, Smith also talked about the Confederate flag — and called upon the state of Mississippi to remove the Confederate flag pattern from its own state flag.

“It’s got to go,” Smith said. “Put it in the museum. Don’t get rid of it. Certainly put it in a museum, used it as a teaching device, have it as part of your curriculum… Get it out of the stadium. Get it out of my Grove. Get it out of my state. I’m embarrassed by this.”

The “rebel” mascot will be gone in a few years. Any suggestions on it’s replacement?

On ESPN they have the SEC coaches throwing a bean bag into a hole in a piece of plywood. They call it, I kid you not, cornholing. Will the new mascot be the Old Miss Cornholers in honor of Shepherd Smith?

I have the 1st flag of the Confederacy (7 star) on the front of my car.

Confuses the delicate.

Shep is from Mississippi, so by definition, it is his business.

He only goes back to Oxford for Ole Miss football games.

And he only does that because New York football teams are rubbish.

I have that and the Bonnie Blue, along with a Texas Confederate flag, blue background, red bars, which really confuses them.

Colonel Reg has been officially gone for several years. Their mascot is a bear. You still see Colonel Reb everywhere.

It’s not called cornholing it’s called corn hole.
