School deserves it for letting political correctness ruin its identity and history.

Indeed... “It’s a TRAP” that they deserved to fall into.

That's Admiral Ackbar. Star Wars. 1977. "It's a Trap". Ringing any bells?

Except Ackbar’s forces won something.

Ole Miss hasn’t won much in the past 30 years and won’t be anytime soon.

You know, I kinda hope they do it, just to illustrate how ludicrous the overly PC-crowd at any college campus can be.

That and I’m not an Ole Miss fan. I think it’s hilarious in its stupidity honestly.

No wonder these people are upset. Are they out of their minds? They are trying to erase history, and that only makes people angry.

“The Ole Miss mascot Col. Reb is about set for retirement.
University of Mississippi dumped Colonel Reb — a caricature of a white plantation owner — in a 2003 effort to distance the school from Old South stereotypes.

Students will have two choices in the online referendum: yes, replace the colonel or no, remain the only school in the SEC without a mascot.

‘Ole Miss has been at the forefront of changes in symbols. In 1997, the school ended the waving of Confederate flags at sporting events. Then Colonel Reb was dumped and last year, the band stopped playing the fight song, From Dixie with Love, to discourage the fan chant, “The South will rise again.”

Don’t feel bad. Although I’ve seen bits and pieces of it, I’ve never seen the whole movie.....and have no desire to.
