that seem so set on making The University of Mississippi a new place so universally appealing to everyone, those that think forgetting our "outdated" traditions and symbols are what will get our athletic teams over the top...get F'ing real...we will be the biggest laughing stock of the SEC, and likely Div 1 athletics for the reasoning behind all this, but hey, Jesse Jackson in all his power and standing in American society might become a loyalty foundation member? LMAO...minority athletes that have a problem with "OLE MISS" will still not come to the small town MISSISSIPPI university with a perceived racial past whether we are the rebels, squirrels, or the turds! And in reality, those atheletes would still go to a school in a more populated and appealing geographical area with more to offer. We are who we are, and unless yall wanna change the state we reside in and throw up a large metropolitan area around our campus the invites more population in general, the recruiting ain't gonna change...you really think every stupid false perception of The University of Mississippi is going to just go away if we attempt to tell the world we are now the fighting catfish with a horse for a mascot? WOW...Barrack Obama was a good choice too huh?
