As I'm sure has been discussed, the Ole Miss administration has decided to remove our mascot, Colonel Reb, not for offense reasons but for a more athletic mascot. I'm personal friends with our Chancellor Khayat, and he himself told me that it was not a race or offensiveness issue... ha. After explaining to him that an athletic mascot was a joke, he agreed.
What we need is support. 94% of the students voted to keep the mascot but to no avail... yet. Please go to www.saveolemiss.com and click on the College Board. This group has power and can be affected.
Additionally, I should say that our Chancellor Khayat is rumored to have dreams of running for the US Senate.
The students have spoken with vigor; we need your help.
A boll weevil, maybe?
Go Weevils!
And the boll weevil said to the farmer, said " Farmer, I'd like to wish you well." Farmer said to the boll weevil,
"Yeah, an' I wish that you were in ****"
(Ahh, you have a home all right, you have a home)
(A real hot home, ahhh)
He might run - he'll never ever win. I'll help whoever the Republican that runs against him is.
