re: ASB trying to get rid of Dixie Update: no vote Dixie to stay

This is the biggest point to me. Some decisions IMO cant be left to just the alumni and student body. If that was the case huge confederate flags would probably still be flying at football games. Do you think that would be appropriate in 2013? I dont. Some tough decisions to move forward have to be looked into.

Contrary to popular belief you do know that the Alumni Association played a MAJOR ROLE in getting rid of the Confederate Flags & Colonel Reb, don't you?

if the band director just didnt play the song at the game, no one mentioned it and there wasnt some stupid vote, how many people would REALLY realize they didnt play the song.

A lot I promise you ... maybe even some in the Student section. BUT I ASSURE YOU MANY PEOPLE WOULD NOTICE IT NOT BEING PLAYED.


Have you ever been to an Ole Miss basketball prior to 2-3 years ago? Do you know what the biggest part of that game was?? I'll answer that for you ... when the band played Dixie, everybody would jump up and begin clapping and cheering. Before that everybody was quite and sitting solemnly.

Too many this song is apart of Ole Miss. The Land of Cotton that you keep saying doesn't equate Ole Miss, for many it does.

Land of Cotton = Landmass
Landmass = Mississippi

Ole Miss = University of Mississippi

Therefore Ole Miss = University of the Land of Cotton


Okay joking aside though Dixie has become the battle cry of Rebelnation and IMO the same as the Grove, Hotty Toddy, Ole Miss & Rebels. I know we disagree on this but understand this is why many of us just don't understand why you say what you say.

Agreeing to disagree, Hotty Toddy
