I never thought of Ole’Miss just being a production site for oreo babies and semen receptacles for black athletes. Maybe there is something for them to look forward to by attending Ole’ Miss. Maybe they should advertise that fact and enjoy the positive response from the NAACP, SPLC, and ACLU. Where does Ole’ Miss’ law school rank nationally? They sure produce a lot of them...many of them are in Corinth and are barely scraping a living.

Bring Col. Reb back.

It’s William Faulkner’s great-grandfather for gosh-sakes. The man practically developed Northern Mississippi himself and wrote a best selling book to boot. Someone dressed in a bear costume should burn down Rowan Oak - then Ole Miss would have NO history worth talking about and Yoknapatawpha can disappear into nothingness.

Thank you for your diligence on behalf of the forum.

But...I leave that stuff up to the most awesome mods in the world.

I can guarantee that my post would have been pulled within seconds. It’s happened before. ;o)

“Colonel Reb is now a big black bear?”

I don’t “get” it, either.

You know...they are behind the trend. If they had held out only a little bit longer I believe they would have prevailed.

“Can you play Dixie with Cowbells? :>)”

LOL!

I’d love to see that at Reser Stadium...home of Oregon State, another Ag school.

I’d personally pay good money for that, and it might start a trend there. ;o)

Georgia can’t play Dixie either...I was there when it was forbidden.

Hey, mstar! It’s good to “see” you!

Masoli was a very young man, driven by the thought that he was the be all and end all of UofO football. I’ve been impressed with Ole Miss, and their willingness to give him another chance, and with some of his interviews I’ve seen lately. He seems to have grown up quite a bit since his most recent unpleasantness in Oregon.

I may be proven wrong, but I think Ole Miss may have been his redeemer.

BTW, it’s thought in Oregon that he was the fall guy for someone else.

Hey Ms Lady Dixie it is good to "see" you also.

Thank you for the correction, with gratitude I stand corrected. It is good to be wrong here.

Please accept my apologies and my prayers for this gentleman's life.

Faulkner was still just awful and throwing away the Colonel for an old bear is wrong. Maybe if we continue to make a "fuss" they'll change it back. . . Love you girl :)

I live in north MS about half way between Ole Miss and MSU. I am a huge MSU fan but I hate what the PC police have done to Ole Miss.

No apologies needed. You didn’t know, is all.

He’s a good guy, now...and I think he’s on the right track. Prayers for him from me, too.

I’m afraid the ole PC has infiltrated Ole Miss, and I hate more than anything to see that.

Love you, too, girl. ;o)

Over the years, the Confederate flag has been banned at Ole Miss football games. The school flag has been changed. The Ole Miss band can no longer play Dixie. Students are no longer allowed to chant “The South Will Rise Again.”

The author didn’t mention that pom-poms on sticks are banned. They are mounted on hand paddles. My Ole Miss buddy tells me there were fears that someone would use one of the sticks to wave a Confederate battle flag. I kid you not...
