A sign honoring the dedication of Chucky Mullins Drive on the Ole Miss campus was stolen sometime Saturday night after the Egg Bowl.

Mullins, who played football at Ole Miss, died in 1991 after complications from an injury suffered during a Rebel football game in 1989.

The sign, located at the corner of Chucky Mullins Drive and Poole Drive on campus, was one of two dedicated in September to honor Mullins' life and legacy at the university.

"The sign that was stolen was just a temporary placeholder until a cast iron one could be ordered and installed," Ole Miss communications director Danny Blanton said.

University Police Department Chief Calvin Sellers said someone tried to steal another marker on campus Saturday night, the sign honoring the 2008 presidential debate in front of the Ford Center. That sign was a cast iron sign, and Sellers said someone was able to get it off the post, but it was too heavy to carry away from the area.

The university is asking for any tips regarding the theft of the Mullins sign.

"We haven't heard a thing so far," Sellers said. "If someone was stupid enough to take it, they'll probably be stupid enough to show it off eventually."
