Highly rated CBs from Georgia don't all sign with Ole Miss?
Color me shocked.

Enough, strawman.
Unless you have some logical statement, go frick yourself and leave this thread.
Not playing that game.

Your arguments don't even make sense anymore.

Too bad universities don't exist to provide business opportunities. Sorry, breh.

Hell, legitimate isn't even a qualifying term.

Could someone give some cliffs about this whole situation. It's all I'm seeing on my twitter feed and I literally have no clue what all the fuss is about.

I disagree with everything you've said in this thread.
I've been specific.
You're the strawman.
You've given up, based on your recent replies and their general lack of information.
Go frick yourself.

I don't understand why it's important that we hold on to anything that could be construed as racist?
We can move on at the expense of some dumb nicknames and so forth.
Furthermore, if it's that important to us, we're just proving the folks that think Ole Miss is a racist university right.
Last but not least, calm your tits with the personal attacks. It's tacky.

Cliffs:
Only athletically are we to be referred to as "Ole Miss" and the "Rebels."
It's only a matter of time, I'd be willing to bet a decade or so, until we're only referred to as "the University of Mississippi" or "Mississippi" on top of removing "Rebels" from our repertoire.
Once more, the University is using the student as scapegoats. Recall Chancellor Khayat's statements about how Colonel Reb would "always be our mascot" and how the students "decided" that Rebel the Black Bear would be our new mascot when the University only presented us with three, hand-picked alternatives.
Some folks in here believe that things that happened in the 1960s still affect recruiting.

After reading that, the only thing that I can add to this discussion is that changing anything pretty much admits guilt which may or may not be in order, I don't know. Seems like a situation that anyone outside of OM can't really give an honest opinion.

Anything that can be construed as racist? What about your sig pic? Your sig pic represents the University of Mississippi Athletic Association.
Ole Miss has had racial problems in the past.
Your sig pic is racist.
Take it down because any vestige of segregation from the University of Mississippi offends me. The term "University of Mississippi" brings up horrifying images of race riots from the 1960s that I never attended.
Dangerous slope, friend.
Jesus, man. If you drive a truck, depending on who you're speaking with, that may be construed as racist.

The University and her well being is very important to me.

I have never discriminated against anyone.
I won't apologize for things I didn't do until I'm in Washington, and I don't plan on making it there to begin with.
