Bwahahaha Look at this lame ass video....

Where is his championship belt??

Welp, after a little bit of digging, Flab is right. In the case of the United States v. Fordice (AKA, the Ayers Case), the district courts (upheld by the Supreme Court) found that Mississippi has three "flagship universities." Every time UM calls itself the flagship, it's a fraud and means nothing.

We deal first with the current admissions policies of Mississippi's public universities. As the District Court found, the three flagship historically white universities in the system [505 U.S. 717, 734] - University of Mississippi, Mississippi State University, and University of Southern Mississippi

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. They received the most funds, initiated the most advanced and specialized programs, and developed the widest range of curricular functions.

My new line: Co-Flagship

I texted to 69050: "Rebs. The crowd keeps chanting abusive language and tries to get me to drink Hotty toddys."

I'm just following instructions from the flagship AD

"quit being a bunch of butthurt drunks and have your ass in VH this Saturday against this shit team"

[Bothrops]

Gross! They're getting worse and worse. That place needs some testosterone in the worse way.

[maroonmania]

Two things:

1. Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina aren't Flagship universities either. LSU, Nebraska, Penn State, Ohio State, Arkansas, Tennessee, West Virginia, illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, U Mass, U Conn, Maryland, and Missouri are flagship universities. And to take it a step further, these schools are secure their position as that university in their state, and never feel the need to remind people. Afterall, why would you need to constantly remind people of something that was obvious?

2. The Treadwell narrative should remind us all of what Ole Miss is really good at. They are good at creating the story and telling you what to think. They do the same thing to some pathetic MSU fans every day. They didn't really win any hearts in that game, but they are going to tell you they did in an effort to market themselves and create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

OM is just a master at media manipulation and milking everything to their benefit. I feel a lot of that with the Chucky Mullins ordeal. Look, I hate what happened to Chucky but OM goes on an on about it like they are the only school that has ever had to deal with a tragic football injury. I mean what makes the Mullins situation any worse that what we had to deal with in regards to Rodney Stowers or Keffer McGee (though Keffer's death was not directly related to football). Its just that in every situation they seemingly try to squeeze every bit of publicity out of it that they can.

They are sensationalist. It's that simple

Spot on. Just curious but when did this whole term "Flagship" and "Land-Grant" get established? Was it before or after Ole Miss lost 100% of its student body as casualties in the Civil War?

While "flagship" is a nebulous term, land grand universities are an actual class of university. Established by the Morrill acts in the late 1800's. In essence, federal lands were sold to fund public universities who were to focus on agricultural, industrial, and engineering curricula.

...and if you think it's something to be ashamed of, let's talk to Cornell, Rutgers, MIT, University of California, Berkeley, University of Florida, Purdue, Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky, LSU, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Clemson, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech (among others), how they feel about it.

There ain't no shame in that game.

Did they steal Texas A&M's stadium sway?

It's called "locking the Vaught". I think they started it in 2012. Traditions, y'all.

They're just practicing for the Broadway rendition of "Human Centipede"

[Political Hack]

that was painful. He essentially went on a 3 minute tirade to ask the fans to not be drunk and obnoxious while still coming to support the team even though they've lost two games back to back.

Lets just say that we should be glad for one thing, that dick head that acts like a church youth leader is not our AD.

I have been to games there the last 2 years and I didn't see that. But they did lose those 2 games...

You should post more, Ulysses.

I'm confused....are they trying to win the party or not? Come on Bjork, get in line.

Haha so Flagship means actually fu@kel yet Land-Grant is actually something to be proud of. Ole Miss is just flat out lying by calling themselves THE Flagship University for the state of Mississippi. That school loves to lie.

[Political Hack]

We are the People's University. Always have been and always will be. They can claim to be co-flags if they'd like.

[JDog13]

The stadium locking arms is as lame as their players doing it before they go on the field. The fan's copying a&m and the players copying Michigan.

I actually think it looks pretty cool. it's stolen for sure, but they steal all their traditions from everyone with the exception of the ones highlighted in the Ole Miss Tradition youtube video.
