I understand that OM wanted to move away from the antebellum and Civil War Col Reb as their mascot, but why didn't they just update him to a modern or WWII type colonel? Was that idea ever floated or did the admins just want to try and bury the history of the school?



Since you took time out of your day to look at this thread I will reward you with a and a .

We live in an age of political correctness. His number came up, and that was that.

Between col reb and houston nutts accent the only way to bust that stigma was a big black smiley bear.

I figured that was it. Just like with the flag in South Carolina the oppossed or offended are unwilling to work toward a compromise that would respect everyone (except the extremistist on both sides) opinions. I think that a WWII type colonel riding in on a jeep or sherman tank would have been badass. Especially if there was Ms unit or soldier they could tie it to.

Damn guys. I ask a question and only get one response toward the questions and the other 7 are about the sorority girls. I should have just posted this on the OT.
