I've already argued that it's irrelevant, why is it so important that it's also untrue?
It's completely relevant because it's the only driving force of perceived notions. She named it that after Ole Mississippi, and LSU tried to start going by "Ole Lou" for a few years afterwards because they liked the idea.
But of course LSU tried to name it after some plantation owner's wife named Louise, right? What a monumental load of bullshite

I'm personally more inclined to believe that Ole Miss is short for Ole Mississippi. I'm also not unwilling to rule out the possibility that it might mean the "Lady of the Plantation"
Either way, I'm a staunch supporter of the Ole Miss Rebels, and I'm a staunch supporter of the nickname "Ole Miss", I'm not sure why that's not good enough.
