This was done for recruiting and that's it.
Bjork say..."Look away!"
They get rid of Colonel Reb, then they stop playing "Dixie", the moniker of "Ole Miss" will be next. You can bank on that. Then once the NCAA gets through with them, they'll be nothing more than a bad reputation and a punchline.
Didn't their website use to have a page explaining what the term "ole miss" meant? I think when c34 was around he had a screenshot of it
Anybody notice UNM made a big deal of inviting to a practice the kids of those folks who died in the plane crash?
My first thought was, it was a cool gesture. But when I clicked the link to read it, it became clear they made damn sure local TV was there, as well as a photographer whose online portfolio consists of 99% South Panola HS stuff, with nothing from any OM practices or games the past several years.
In other words, it's abundantly clear to me the photographer was invited specifically for this event, where she took tons of pics of the kids having fun with the players, and of course, Hugh himself. Interviews were given, etc, etc.
To me, if it had been done without seeking publicity, I'd have been impressed. But the way it was done looks as much about getting positive PR than it is doing something nice for the kids.
NCAA?
Who gets tasked with deciding which racist traditions to keep and which ones to discard?
staying and then ran away like a fat kid playing dodge ball......
Does "Rebel the Black Bear" fear for his name and need a good lawyer for an official name change? Notice they give up their symbols of their past a little at a time do avoid offending older fans. Ole Miss and Rebels are next. On the Ole South plantations, the plantation owner's wife was called the "Ole Miss". The female children were called the "Young Misses". The term "Ole Miss" has little to nothing to do with the state of Ms. or the river. I guess they can visit another part of their past and be "The University of Mississippi Flood", an older name like when we were the "Maroons".
what should they replace it with?
