University of Mississippi students have chosen to lead the way in developing a new on-field mascot, based on results from Tuesday’s campus-wide vote.

That’s what 12 years of marxist indoctrination will get you. Mindless commie brats.
Colonel Sanders
Isn’t Mississippi an indian ... er ... native American word?
I get so tired of Sheppard Smith talking about Ole Miss...almost on a daily basis. I’ve never heard another TV personality talk about his alma mater as much.
Maybe they could have a really old ugly virgin woman and she could become the new old miss. /s
You have these kids all wrong. The school hasn't had a mascot or school song in seven years. The majority of students would prefer to have Colonel Reb back, they would prefer to have their school song (”From Dixie with Love”) back, but the administration has made it ever so clear that that ain't never gonna happen. So instead of having no traditions representing them the students are attempting to make some new traditions.
don’t alumni have a say?...afterall, they attended and graduated and now somebody wants to change their history...
Hmmmm, instead of Colonel Reb how about General Sherman?
wow...I thought I was the only one who felt that way. I couldn’t agree with you more.
That would make Georgia games more heated.
Nobody but the administration has a say about Colonel Reb or the school song. And the administration says both are gone... out of here... history ... never to come back again... and it has been that way for seven years now. It is the administration that has changed the alums history, not the new students.
The new students are just tired of not having nothing. The alumni had something... do the current students deserve any less?
The students had to vote YES in order to be included in the decision making process. The administration is going to pick a new mascot with them or without them.
And it sucks.
I’m pulling for Admiral Ackbar myself.
MISTER Broccoli, eh? A sexist symbol of the oppressive patriarchy, I suppose. (*sniff*)
