    Ben Garrett Writes Emotional Essay Before Doing Adequate Research.....

    In his typical whiney ass tone, Ben Garrett wrote a hot take with numerous errors, like most things Ole Miss people write.

    - Lane Stadium was not named after a confederate general but rather a former student at VT

    - The Missouri Tigers were a Union regiment, not a confederate one.

    - Georgia's state flag hasn't been adopted by hate and white supremacy groups.

    I'm all for changing the flag, but essays like this make us look dumber, not smarter.

    Ole Miss people seem to have a peculiar genetic dysfunction where their first reaction is to blame others for their own problem and make sure everyone knows it's not only them. Think about it.

    Let's worry about doing the right thing in Mississippi and not caring what happens elsewhere

    We can't revise history to make it to our liking

    Of course but his readership sucks and the writers always write what the readership wants to read rather than spewing the cold hard truth.

    Couple things....

    "Col. Reb can't be found"....uh, pretty sure he can still be found doing photo-ops in the Grove every Saturday. Same goes for "Dixie with Love", as the band still plays that in the Grove before marching to the stadium (they just don't play it in the stadium).

    The cherry on top, though is..."no school in the SEC has attempted to distance itself more from its Civil War imagery than Ole Miss".....the team that goes by the Rebels, periodically wears grey uniforms in all their sports, and who's nickname is literally a slave moniker....can't make this shit up. Not a very self-aware that lot is...

    Fake News. Ginger Ben is liberal, per his own words. Not surprised that he didn't do his research.

    Yeaaa... It was hard keep reading after he continued to go right over the worst part of it all.. Having to remove that racist name would just be too much for them.

    Or in true Mississippi fashion.. They won't until they are forced to.


    Boys.. Ya'll behave now... I'm out of here for the day. It's my birthday.. Time for some bourbon, good food and distanced fun

    This blatant disregard for a truthful story is what is wrong with this country. If you are going to bullshit, atleast use facts that have barely anything to donwith thebtopic as backup.

    Actually this is typical Ole Miss. Lie, blame others and try to take everyone else down with them.

    We of all people shouldn't be surprised. Ask Leo Lewis.

    Yeah this is obviously just an effort to deflect from the fact that Ole Miss is gonna have to make massive changes to continue to distance themselves from the Confederacy. And this isn't anyone's fault but theirs.

    Apparently its fine just to make up your own truth these days. I mean, in another thread, we had some guy saying that kneeling during the national anthem wasn't showing disrespect for our flag and our country even though that is pretty much the sole purpose in doing it. I mean nothing like choosing to protest the symbols of freedom in the country that are the basis for allowing you the right to protest.
