    Anybody catch the tweets from Bjork and Freezus about the OM culture far from what..

    The recent events suggest?

    Hugh Freeze ‏@CoachHughFreeze 1h

    Anyone outside the OleMiss family trying to define us by the actions of a few is like a snow man trying to describe a Sunburn. Come and See

    In response

    Ross Bjork ‏@RossBjorkAD 1h

    @CoachHughFreeze No question about it......we know our character & what we stand for each day. Open invitation is always there.....


    There are others talking about how Oxford is such a great place to live, where everyone lives in unison and integrated.... That's much more different than the Oxford I witnessed this past thanksgiving while hunting. Each kept to his own.

    Again, they can keep trumpeting all they want about how Oxford is, but they will never be able to escape the confederate symbols. As long as they celebrate "rebels" "ole miss" and other symbols that celebrate a violent oppressive past, they will continue to suffer from "incidents" like the ones we have witnessed in the past few years. Those symbols and the confederate university identity, attract people who still live in that constructed lost cause culture and will continue to do so as long as they keep them. Nice try Mr. Freeze you snake oil salesman, nice try.

    Mr. Freeze, I say that a preacher (snake oil salesman) turned football coach trying to dismantle complex historical concepts is like a snowman trying to describe a sunburn (what ever the hell that means). I define you (Ole Miss) by the symbols of the systematic murderous oppressive regime that the institution you work for continues to use as part of its identity. Not only me, but many other people from our Union. If you want to continue to feel proud of being a "Rebel" then you get what you pay for. Get over it or get rid of it!

    Is bucky trying to come up with a phrase that becomes famous, like Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, or some other famous person? Snowman and sunburns?

    I've been wondering what response Bjork and Freeze would come up with (McCready even said so). This isn't it. Can't be. I'm looking for something strategic.

    If that's it, then by God we may have broken the Beaver's back on this one. I swear, that might have been the worst thought-out tweet I've seen in a while by him.

    I'd ask Freeze which few.

    The few players involved with the sex assault? They few players accused of beating a man into hospitalization? The few students accused of messing with the Meredith statue? The few people that allegedly yelled racial slurs and threw beer on a black student? The few players that yelled homosexual slurs and disrupted that play?

    I mean let's be specific. Freeze wasn't clear.

    This may be the most over the top dork statement ever made on an internet message board. "Systematic murderous oppressive"???? I agree that they are looking like dumbasses up there who continue to put their heads in the sand, but to put the South of the 1800s in the same boat with the Nazis is a tad extreme.

    It's not just Ole Miss. It's the town of Oxford. A few years back a certain high school AD had to apologize to a majority black school team for the racial slurs hurled at them by students and players and game workers!!

    I bet he meant the few that rioted after the last presidential election.

    If he they are putting out a statement asking people to "come and see," it's because they are having difficulty getting people to do that. Apparently, they are feeling it.

    Their response to all of this doesn't matter. The bottom line is, we're just selling our school and program. They're having to tell everyone they aren't racist. They've already lost.
