You realize that State nor Ole Miss have flown the state flag for several years due to this issue that you say they didn't "cave" to.

ETA Also all racist, historical, whatever aside "From Dixie With Love" was a great tune musically and I hated it when OM decided to ban it...although I do understand it I suppose.

Maybe organized crime is still powerful enough in Vegas to keep the filth away from UNLV....

Will Louisiana have to change the name of it's state? After all, the state is named after King Louis XIV, who created and protected French colonies utilizing slaves.

And what about the city of New Orleans? It was a key part of the French slave market as it allowed France access to the Caribbean Islands slave markets?

If the state of Mississippi refuses to capitulate on the flag issue, I could see myself becoming a fan of State, and not because I am in favor of their flag, but because they will have shown that they aren’t a bunch of invertebrates that cave with such ease because of people like the NCAA or SEC. What ridiculousness it is for an athletic governing body and conference to try and bully a sovereign state into submission. Doing it on your own is one thing, but it’s the bullying a democratically elected sovereign state of the United States of America that gets under my skin


Well the flag is coming down. No way it survives this storm. BLM wokeness, NCAA and SEC pressure, even conservative whites here are in love with the new Stennis flag (which is ugly); Gulfport's local government already took it down.

Whether you believe its overblown or not, the bottom line is that the State absolutely will have to capitulate if they ever want to see competitive football, basketball, track, etc etc teams from Ole Miss or Miss St.

This will absolutely affect recruiting. With social media and this generation of athlete, those schools will not be able to continue to attract high caliber guys without changes to the State.

Slavery was LEGAL then. He did nothing wrong. Times change. Laws get passed to right wrongs. This was over 200 goddammed years ago for fricks sake.

Ok, most people. I like most of them.

The West Monroe Rebels still play it. They’ve gone after them a few times with the flag stuff. I don’t know exact details, but I know they’re no longer allowed to fly it at sporting events, wear clothing with it or have the flags on campus. I have a feeling the mascot and the playing of Dixie will be next. I want to say a student already started up a petition following that racist video made by a former student.


Fort Smith Southside in Arkansas changed the mascot and quit using the song a number of years ago. They are now the Mavericks.

There is actually no evidence that the nickname "Ole Miss" derives from a racist origin. It very well might, not debating that, but there is no proof of that. I've heard people say it refers to the Mississippi River, aka the "ole Mississippi."
