    The following things can be true at the same time:

    (1) The phrase "Ole Miss" has a terrible, racist past and the people associated with that school should be completely ashamed of it. And CNN is right to point this out.

    (2) Everybody laugh at those racist inbreds in Oxford. Humanity is moving forward, and it's gonna leave Ole Miss in the dust.

    You aren’t wrong. Scooba just has a really weird obsession with making sure no one likes C34. Coach lives more rent free in Scooba’s head that he does Ole Miss’s.

    It's going to be interesting to see what happens at Ole Miss. At some point they'll have to give up the name I'm sure and then they'll be something ridiculous like the Sharks.

    I would be a little worried though if I were them because most of their fans fall into one of two categories:

    1. Stuck up. These people will be Ole Miss fans no matter what.

    2. Rednecks who like the Confederate stuff. If Ole Miss keeps sucking in football I wouldn't be surprised if they end up losing a lot of this fan segment. They'll probably lose some fans to Alabama, LSU, and maybe even us if we keep doing well. If that happens their football attendance could get even worse. They're in danger of becoming Vanderbilt without the prestige with all of the fans that they have from other states.

    Where the hell does CNN get off calling them the Flagship school and who the hell gave them that designation? The only thing they can lay credit to is the first school.

    I've never seen a school fan base so preoccupied with their image as Mississippi fans. To call themselves "The Flagship" is disingenuous at best. The courts have said that there are 3 flagship universities within the state. Those are MSU, Southern Miss, and Mississippi.

    https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/505/717

    From line 31:

    "We next address Mississippi's scheme of institutional mission classification, and whether it perpetuates the State's formerly de jure dual system. The District Court found that, throughout the period of de jure segregation, University of Mississippi, Mississippi State University, and University of Southern Mississippi were the flagship institutions in the state system."

    So whenever a Mississippi fan says they are "The Flagship" you can just laugh and tell them that MSU is too according to the Supreme Court of the United States.

    Who honestly cares if they call themselves the flagship? To pretend like anyone outside of our two fanbases GAF is a waste of time. I just don't get why this is ever a talking point by our fans.

    Would you feel better if MSU could claim that? It means absolutely nothing to anyone.

    The fact that the topic was even touched on in the Supreme Court was a waste of time and tax payers money.

Those same kids are back home 12 to 18 month later, enrolling in the local 3rd tier school due to "the stress of being away from home" (better known to us as cocaine and Wild Turkey) and looking to transfer to UGA/Texas/LSU after a semester or 3.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    Haven't known CNN to be untruthful? Really? Just saw one example in the news recently. Nicholas Sandmann (the kid demonized by the liberal media for "allegedly" getting in the face of a native American at the Lincoln Memorial) just settled a $250MM lawsuit with the Washington Post. Up next, you guessed it, CNN. They will have to pay out big time as well because they absolutely lied and they know it. I could count many more but that's just the most recent example I thought about.

    Edited: Apparently CNN has already settled for an "undisclosed amount" but the point remains the same...…...There are six more suits pending, including ABC, NBC and CBS as well...…...He's 18 with millions......

    Honestly, I don't GAF either. I just think them saying that is trying to pump themselves up like the pretentious douches they are.

    Would you feel better if MSU could claim that? My point was that we can. We just never do. Because like you said, noone cares.

    Yep. NBC news the other night was just one long political commercial on one side. Regardless of your politics, just report the news. Tired of the propaganda and manipulation.

    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    UT is very hard to get into for a straight out of high school student. TAMU also has high standards, both of these schools have defined benchmarks a student needs to achieve, like ACT/SAT scores and GPA. UGA, on the other hand, is a little easier to get into, but doesn't rely on set benchmarks as much, volunteer work/extracurricular activities of prospective students, etc., plays a significant role.
