That’s so gay of them.
That’s depressing. Tradition changed because of a fake controversy over a flag.
The night they drove old Dixie down.
watch the alumni donations dry up...
Somewhere Shepherd Smith is smiling
Are you f***ing kidding me? Freeze finally gets the team’s s*** together and now is drafting the hell out of high school talent, and they can’t even play a song that represents the South because of some Yankee whiner douchebags?
What could the university 90-lb. weaklings do about THAT!

I’m not even from the south and this pisses me off to no end.
The Stars and Bars may no longer be displayed, but Isis’ black flag is allowed. And America is surprised of how fast it self-destroys?
Captain Obvious, please come to the rescue and explain.
The world is now so much better at a place.
So if they can’t play “Dixie” anymore, they should play this one. After all, they’re the Rebels.
I’M A GOOD OLD REBEL
(James Randolph, 1914)
Oh, I’m a good old rebel,
Now that’s just what I am,
And for this yankee nation,
I do not give a damn.
I’m glad I fought a ganner,
I only wish we won.
I ain’t asked any pardon for anything I’ve done.
I hates the yankee nation and everything they do.
I hates the declaration of independence, too.
I hates the glorious union, t’is dripping with our blood.
I hates the striped banner, and fit it all I could
I rode with Robert E. Lee,
For three years, thereabout.
Got wounded in four places,
And I starved at point lookout.
I catched the rheumatism
A campin’ in the snow.
But I killed a chance of Yankees
And I’d like to kill some more.
Three hundred thousand Yankees
Is stiff in southern dust.
We got three hundred thousand
Before they conquered us
They died of Southern Fever
And southern steel and shot
I wish there were three million
Instead of what we got.
I can’t pick up my musket
And fight ‘um down no more
But I ain’t gonna love ‘um
Now that is certain sure.
And I don’t want no pardon
For what I was and am
I won’t be reconstructed
And I do not give a damn.
Listen to it here:

Maybe the Ole Miss band can play a BLM theme.
Even add a Muslim chant too.
Dixie was written by a northerner. It was Lincoln’s favorite tune.
Wonder if the Long Beach State alumni band will be prevented from playing the Star Spangled Banner at alumni day.
Listen to the end of the song. It has always been done that way.

It’s ironic and curious that Dixie was one of Abraham Lincoln’s favorite tunes during the war.
The liberals will, in their unique fashion wipe out completely a large portion of our Civil War. It matters only because it offends them. What doesn’t matter is that there are thousands of persons who feel pride that the Civil War was fought by our ancestors, great grandfathers, and countless other relatives. When does the nonsense end? After they’ve blown to kingdom come Stone Mountain and the leaders portrayed there? Like the Taliban, history is being erased and rewritten, just as it has been for the past decades of American history. Once gone, it can never be fully replaced.
Wish I was in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten.. Look away, Look away, Dixieland.

Funny, but as the crowd gathered at the White House to celebrate the surrender of Lee, Lincoln directed the military band to play Dixie as a symbol of unity and renewal.
This PC nonsense never stops & there’s never any real push-back.
