They would rather have a drug addict and a thief representing their school to the outside world than a Southern gentleman.

If the "drug addict" and thief were any good I'm sure they would.

"The fight that Ole Miss traditionalists are waging to preserve their heritage is your fight. We know how leftists operate. We know these fanatics won't stop there."

Missippy ping!

You didn't mention the most important game the lost.

Mississippi State 31 - Ole Miss 23

[dixiechick2000]

The original Col. Reb...Blind Jim Ivey.

He has his own Facebook page.

[dixiechick2000]

You know it’s a year for the record books when that happens. ;o)

[max americana]

the new black bear mascot looks like one of the Japanese anime bears. damn pathetic..

[WilliamHouston]

Fight back Mississippi!

[Chunga]

The loss to State is mentioned in the article.

[Red_Devil 232]

I missed the Egg Bowl mention.

Ole’ Miss has sold their soul for the drug dealing trouble making black athlete. Boone and Khayat sold out Ole’ Miss’ heritage for nothing more than recruiting. Truth is, the black athlete would choose any school that would give them a free ride or scholarship. One cannot change the fact that Ole’ Miss is located in an black hole of what the average desired athlete wishes to see in a university.

Isn't the "War Eagle" that swoops down onto the Plains a prisoner being exploited by mindless sports fans?

Not really. Since the '60s Tiger, in various incarnations, have been for one reason or another, unable to survive in the wild. It does her good to be able to flap her wings every now and then. Just because it is in front of 80,000 who enjoy seeing her does not make it exploitation.

Colonel Reb is now a big black bear?

I think you may have committed a copyright violation by posting the image of Colonel Reb. I’m serious.

My understanding is that as part of their PC campaign to suppress symbols of the “Old South,” not only have the University’s officials copyrighted this image, but also they don’t allow ANYBODY (FReepers included) to reproduce or distribute it in any form — printed, electronic or otherwise — without express permission. And guess what? Permission is always withheld.

The University’s policy is despicable. But the law is the law, and the antics of Righthaven show just how pernicious the lawyers and their clients can be in such matters. I’d hate to see you and/or FR sued for copyright infringement.

I couldn’t have said it better myself, Thanks for the ping.

[stboz]

Gawd! It's just no fun beating Ole Miss unless they're rightfully known by their correct name.

Go Dawgs!

The next thing you know, we'll have to play Dixie for them. Pathetic.

[WKB]

Can you play Dixie with Cowbells? :>)

[stboz]

We’ll give it a try when ya’ll come out here to play Fresno St.

I'm not so sure...there are more gorgeous blonde great great great granddaughters of plantation masters per square foot there than anywhere I have ever seen...who have largely been programmed by the culture to feel it's their Biblical duty these days as atonement to throw themselves at the feet of the vaunted black gladiator as penance..

Precisely what most black athletes I've seen cherish these days besides bling...sorta the same thing sorta. Ole Miss should be better than the Titans at least given that attraction. "Look daddy I'm dating DaShawn..he's getting drafted by the Colts...can you take him duck hunting pretty please...oh daddy don't be mad...it's the 21st century and all...my Southern Culture professor says it's the only way to HEAL the divide and make up for how mean we once were as an oppressive culture and all and he'll sign autographs at the country club for your's and mama's bridge partners he promises....purty purty purty please with a cherry on top"

In the inverted world of political correctness, leftwing agitators insist that students and elderly people be forbidden from singing Dixie and that a harmless mascot must be banished from the field, but don't seem to care that Ole Miss QB Jeremiah Masoli has been convicted of second-degree burglary and marijuana possession.

They would rather have a drug addict and a thief representing their school to the outside world than a Southern gentleman.

Well what do you expect when the brainwashed trade Col Reb, symbol of the southern gentleman, for a William Faulkner concept. . . many of these concepts based on his drunken binge experiences. I imagine his "women on the side" was another debauched source.
